Relocation cost guide

What relocation costs covers

When you price relocation, you are really pricing the agent's commission, lender fees and government charges. Ask each provider to itemise those pieces so the quotes line up.

Because two providers can describe the same relocation in different ways, ask each one to break the total into the same line items before you compare them.

Choosing a agent for relocation costs

Ask whether a licence or registration is required for this kind of work, confirm it with the regulator, and request proof of insurance before work starts.

Ask for two recent local jobs you can call, and read the written scope for what it leaves out as carefully as what it includes.

The things that move a relocation costs price

The local market, the property itself, the commission arrangement and the fees set by lenders and government.

Where you are matters too: outlying areas add travel, and dense cities add access and permit overhead.

Ways to keep relocation costs costs down

Collect two or three written quotes and compare them line by line instead of on the bottom line, then ask what the price would be for payment in full.

When the work can be scheduled, moving it out of the busiest season usually lowers the bill. Ask whether a bundle or off-peak rate exists.

Frequently asked questions

What should I budget for relocation costs?
Plan around $3,600 for a typical relocation, with most cases landing between $1,000 and $6,100 (per job). Those are planning figures rather than a quotation.
Which parts of a relocation costs bill move the most?
The local market, the property itself, the commission arrangement and the fees set by lenders and government. That is why the same job can produce two very different totals.
What is the smartest way to lower relocation costs costs?
Line up two or three written quotes, compare the line items rather than the totals, ask about a paid-in-full discount, and schedule outside the busiest period when you can.
What should I verify before hiring a agent?
Confirm any required licence or registration with the regulator, ask for current insurance, and speak to two recent local customers. Then read the quote for the exclusions.
