London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/15/2015 -- According to a recent study compiled by Post Office Money and the Centre for Economic and Business Research (Cebr) the cost of moving home has increased over the last decade by at least 59%. This means that moving costs – incorporating factors like estate agent and surveyors fees, stamp duty and of course, a removal hire, reach an average of just under £12,000 - figures obtained just ending 2014.
With the upcoming General Election and subsequent political uncertainty, this could potentially mean that moving costs may not be set to fall. In turn, this may actually dissuade people from moving house or encourage them to try and undertake moving work manually – which can be dangerous.
Elephant Removals, a leading moving and freight service, are frequent commentators on the industry. They were quick to comment in light of the recently raised figures:
"That the cost of moving home has increased by up to 59% in some places over the last decade is potentially quite shocking news," a spokesperson told us "However, it is important to be aware of these unexpected costs of surveyors and estate agents. We hope these figures will allow mover's to keep aware and be prepared.
With the fluctuations in property prices and such a competitive market, especially in the big cities, it perhaps can be anticipated that surveying costs may well escalate at times.
However, what is also essential is that people can keep the costs down where this is possible. When you opt for an efficient and affordable removal company like ourselves – with the potential for a free quote – you do not have to fear unreasonable amounts or rising costs. When you opt with a removal company like Elephant Removals, we will strive to prove to youthat you do not have to face eye-watering costs when it comes to moving."
