After putting down a hefty deposit on a new home, it\u2019s quite probable that the last thing on your mind is spending more money on the actual process of moving house. From buying packing equipment to buying new things for your new home, there is a lengthy list of things that need to be taken care of to help you with your move, but they needn\u2019t cost over the odds. In this post, we will look at some of the ways you can save money on moving house without hindering the process.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Call in favours<\/strong>
\nNow is the time for you to start asking your friends and family if they wouldn\u2019t mind giving up some of their free time to make your move a little easier. They don\u2019t have to necessarily help you with any heavy lifting, but they can make the process a lot more efficient if they can help with things like packing, organisation or even childcare if you have young children. By helping you with the smaller tasks, they can free you up to focus on the bigger jobs, rather than you having to juggle them all at once.<\/p>\n

Take care of bills<\/strong>
\nMake sure that you inform your energy providers, TV and Internet providers of your move, so that they can cancel any contracts that you may have. Otherwise, you run the risk of moving into your new home and getting charged for internet in your old house that you are no longer using. You also should cancel any direct debits to these companies from your end, too, to prevent the bank automatically taking any unnecessary funds from your account.<\/p>\n

Furniture<\/strong>
\nIf your new home needs new furniture, consider buying flat-pack furniture. These are all relatively easy to assemble and they will save you a lot of room in your car, and also a lot of money when compared to buying standard furniture. If you are able to load the flat-pack furniture into your car, you will save yourself money on hiring a van.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Phone lines<\/strong>
\nWhen you\u2019ve moved into your new home and you\u2019ve set up your phone and internet, there is an opportunity to save money by avoiding premium rate phone numbers. These numbers, such as ones beginning with 0845, 0870 and 09 cost significantly more than other numbers to call, so by changing your phone\u2019s settings to stop outbound calls to these numbers, you can save a lot of money on your phone bill.<\/p>\n

Moving house can be a stressful time, and when you add the financial implications into the mix then that stress can be increased. By following the above tips, you can reduce the costs of moving home and focus your energy on getting settled in your new destination.<\/p>\n
