London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/18/2015 -- The cost of moving home has increased by an astonishing 59% over the last decade according to recent research conducted by Post Office Money and the Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr). The current cost of moving is now approaching an average of £12,000 which includes the costs for stamp duty, estate agents, surveyor's fees and removals. The costs of removals in particular has increased by a surprising 21%. The study was partly based on data collected by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), and the recent changes to stamp duty made in December 2014 were also taken into account.
Nevertheless, in an unstable economic climate, where property investments are no longer as certain as they once used to be, it is unsurprising that many young prospective homeowners are reluctant to move due to the considerable hidden or unexpected costs involved. It is clear that the correct research in choosing companies to help with moving can be instrumental in saving costs and making buying and moving house much easier.
About Top Removals
Regular commentators on developments in moving house, Top Removals are specialists in providing local, national and international moving and storage services. They had this to say regarding the recent reports of skyrocketing moving costs, 'We believe that everyone should have the right to feel confident and supported when they are making a significant life change such as moving house or moving into commercial or business premises. It seems that the biggest hindrance for customers is the hidden aspect of costs in moving. This is something we have heard our clients complain about in regards to estate agents and surveyors and so on. We have tried to take these concerns on board so that when it comes to removal and storage at least, customers can feel fully assured that what they see is very much what they will get. We do this for example by insuring all goods in our possession free of charge, and not charging customers when they enter the London Congestion Charging Zone for instance.
Trust is very important to us. We know that things are becoming more expensive let's be honest, but customer loyalty is what allows us to keep our clients and keep them happy.'
