PLANNING a house move?
June is the start of the most popular time to relocate.
GettyWe have five tips to keep costs down while moving house[/caption]But if you start getting ready now, you can avoid pricey setbacks nearer completion time.
Follow these tips to keep your moving costs low . . .
DO YOUR RESEARCH: If you are unsure about using professional movers or going it alone — maybe hiring a van and getting help from friends — now is the time to check the costs.
Use comparemymove.com or getamover.co.uk to get quotes from multiple companies, so you can see what you can afford or what you need to work towards.
SET THE DATE: Fridays are the busiest day of the week for moving house, according to conveyancing company leadingpropertylawyers.co.uk.
If you want to use professional movers and move on a Friday so you can make the most of the weekend to settle in, you need to book in now.
Alternatively, choosing a different day of the week can mean it’s slightly cheaper as there’s less demand.
The earlier you book, the more likely you are to get a discounted rate.
SAVE YOUR ENERGY: Plan your utility switching now.
If you time your broadband transfer early enough, most providers let you move your package for free if you give 30 days’ notice.
It’s also a good idea to start comparing energy deals for your new postcode now, ahead of your moving date.
GET FLOGGING: For a move in the next few months, start decluttering now and get your items listed on auction sites as soon as possible.
While Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree and eBay are great places to sell, don’t overlook shpock.com and if you have more expensive pieces or antiques, try vinterior.co to get the best price.
BOX SMART: Skip buying pricey packing boxes and instead ask at your local supermarket for any cardboard boxes or fruit and veg crates to stash at home ahead of your move.
It’s also well worth saving newspapers or leaflets which you can use to wrap up your kitchen plates and glassware.
