Now that you’ve sold your house for cash to MPG, you’ll be aware of just how much money you’ve saved on estate agents’ fees, commissions, hidden costs and solicitors’ fees.

Although the actual selling of the property has been taken care of – quickly and simply thanks to MPG – one final step that remains is the actual move! Unless you’ve opted to take advantage of MPG’s ground-breaking Sell and Rent Back option (which will be discussed a little later on), you’ll be undertaking the potentially daunting task of moving home.

But moving house doesn’t have to be the expensive, complicated process you’re anticipating. Simply make use of the moving tips offered below, and you’ll save on two of your most important resources: Time and money.

Home moving tips for property sellers

By selling property to MPG, you’ve potentially saved thousands of pounds – cash which is bound to come in very handy as you settle debt, relocate or pay for your children’s tertiary education. Thus, the last thing you want to do is spend that extra cash on moving costs! The good news is that, listed here, you’ll find a number of simple ways to reduce expenses when moving house.

Save on removals costs after selling property

Utilising the services of a professional removal company may be unavoidable – but it can become unnecessarily costly if the van is required to make several trips between your old home and your new residence. In the days leading up to your move, get rid of items that you no longer need in order to free up extra space in the removal van. This could well limit the number of trips the truck is required to make, cutting both costs and the length of time required to move house. Disposing of unneeded possessions also simplifies the task of unpacking and setting up your belongings in your new home.

Another way to save money after selling property and moving house is to enlist the help of friends and family. In fact, if one or two relatives or friends are able to offer you the use of their vans, double cabs or lorries, you may not even need to contact a removal company at all when moving house!

Take your own meter readings at your old and new properties

Before moving, be sure to take gas, water and electricity meter readings at both your old and new properties. By doing this, you’ll ensure that you pay only for what you and your family have used – rather than footing the gas, water and electricity bills of others! Also remember to inform the utility companies of your move.

Avoid a costly theft incident

According to research undertaken by insurance companies, your home is 50% more likely to be burgled during a move than at any other time. With all the coming-and-going that characterises a house move, it’s hardly surprising that thieves pounce during this period of relative confusion and chaos. Be extra cautious whilst moving house and, if you opt to utilise the services of a removal company, be sure that it is an established, trusted firm.

Make use of the insurance coverage offered by removal companies, as this will place the onus of ensuring the safety of your possessions on the removal company.

Ensure that you have alternate accommodation after selling property

The day that you move out of your old home may not be the same day you are able to take possession of your new one. However, you should attempt to avoid short-term rentals, as this type of leasing tends to be exorbitantly expensive. Landlords are generally averse to short-term rental (less than six months) – and instances in which they do agree to it, they’re likely to charge tenants highly inflated monthly rates. Consider staying with friends or family and storing your furniture until you are able to move into your new home.

Selling property but unwilling to move? MPG’s Sell and Rent Back solution is the answer!

Alternatively, you could avoid moving home altogether by taking advantage of MPG’s Sell and Rent Back solution. In many instances, homeowners need to sell their properties to us for cash, but are loath to move out of their homes. Thus, they opt for our Sell and Rent Back option, whereby they sell their homes to MPG for cash and then continue to live in them as tenants. MPG charges rental rates that are equal to (or sometimes below) standard premiums for the specific area, and tenants can live on in their homes without anyone ever knowing that they sold!

By selecting the Sell and Rent Back solution from MPG, you’ll not only bypass the hassle and expense of moving house, but you’ll avoid uprooting your family and subjecting yourself to the stress of relocating.
