It can be a challenge for some people to budget for a house move in Calgary, AB or elsewhere in Canada. The idea of ‘saving up’ to afford to move houses certainly seems like a strange idea, but as you’ll see later in this post, it can be helpful to avoid going into some unwanted debt on your moving day. Depending on what type of moving situation you are in, there will be different types of expenses.
We never seem to factor these costs into the moving process, so in this post we will truly assess how much money you should have ready when planning a house move.
1. First of all, consider transportation costs. Whether you are planning to hire a moving service in Calgary or load up a van by yourself, you will have to spend some money on transportation.
Some Calgary moving van rental companies add extra fees depending on how far you are moving, not to mention that you must refill the truck with gas upon its return. Calgary moving service will generally cost you more than hiring a moving truck yourself, but with companies that value excellent customer service, you can trust that your items will arrive safely and in good time and have some piece of mind.
2. Your destination. Depending on where you are moving to, there may be some extra costs associated with moving houses that are not related to transportation.
For example, if you are planning on renting your new home, there will almost always be some kind of security deposit required, but for certain managed apartment buildings there are likely to be extra charges such as move in fees, FOB rentals, parking spot fees and move-in damage deposits.
3. In addition to preliminary moving costs, it is likely that there will be some secondary costs associated with moving that you may not have taken into account. For instance, people are often either upsizing or downsizing when houses, so either buying new furniture to fill out certain spaces, or disposing of old furniture that won’t fit in your new space is likely to cost you more money.
Some people will make the necessary plans for these kinds of extra expenses, and most people will not budget effectively to take into account all of these factors.
