How much does it cost to move a house?
The cost of the actual move varies depending on the number of items moved and the distance between the two locations. However, on average, a move within Australia would cost between $300 and $10,000. These costs to move house include a wide range of moving services, and the price can be influenced by various factors such as the size of the house, services required and the distance of the move.
How long does it take to move house?
From looking for a new home to the final settlement day, to finally moving your items inside, the process of moving house can take months. This would also depend on your individual circumstances. Your personal finances, the locations of your current and new homes, and the intricacies of the home buying process, all play a role in the overall timeline for your house move.
Should I sell my first house when buying a second house?
When you’ve found “the one” for the second time, knowing whether to buy or sell first can be a tricky decision.
If you’re not in a rush, you can wait until your current home is sold before making an offer on your next place. Doing so will remove the stress of funding two separate properties.
