Tips to Help You Save Money When You Move Home

by Guest on Jan 9, 2014

Moving is such a stressful time for many, but being prepared for it can make it seem so much easier.

It can also be a very expensive move if you don’t plan ahead, so here are some money-saving tips to help you move efficiently and on the cheap:

  • Second hand boxes – If you can get your hands on some second-hand boxes from friends and family, then you can box all of your belongings without having to buy more boxes to help you move.
  • Nearly-new furniture – Brand new furniture is extremely expensive, but nearly new furniture is often really high quality and a fraction of the price. So don’t move into your new home and buy new things, buy nearly new. 
  • Ask friends and family – “Many hands make light work”. By getting extra hands from friends and family, the time spent moving will be greatly reduced. Saving time also means saving money.
  • Removal companies – If you have a lot of stuff that needs to go with you during the move then hiring a removal company could be much more beneficial. If you require a man and van services it is important to book with plenty of time in advance because prices can go up if you leave it too near the time.
  • Install home energy efficiency measures – Moving into a new home is a great time to install energy efficiency measures to help you save money on your bills each month.
  • Keep an eye on money in and money out – This is an important tip for every month, but even more so during the move. There are a lot of new bills that go out of your account in the month of your move, so it is good to keep a note of outgoings so you don’t end up spending all of your money in one month.

Moving home is a stressful time, not just physically, but financially too, so you must be on top of it all. By doing this, you can end up saving a lot more money than you thought, which could be useful when thinking of decorating.
