3 Costs Homeowners Forget About When Moving

Moving can be exciting and stressful. As homeowners get caught up in planning, they tend to forget these important costs that have to be incorporated into their budgets.

Insurance Rate Changes

Keep in mind that your address affects your insurance rate. If you report your new address, it could change your insurance premiums even if you just moved nearby. This could be costly if you’re moving to another state. At this point, you’re better off finding a new insurance company, or be sure to study the fine print of your previous insurance policy. Learn how your move will affect your existing insurance policy so you can prepare for it.

Utility Fees

If your previous home has a furnace, do you have to pay to leave with a full tank? Do you need to pay your energy company for changing the billing details? You’ll also have to consider if your internet provider requires a disconnection fee. Coordinating these details with your local movers can make your transition easier since they’ve probably encountered these situations before as well.

Storage Costs

If you’re moving a lot of stuff into your new home, there’s a chance that you won’t be able to fit them all in one go. This is where storage facilities can help. You may have to get one for a short period of time or long-ter, depending on your needs. You can even ask your movers for a recommended storage facility that they’ve worked on previous jobs.
