What should I include in a moving house budget checklist so I dont miss any major costs?

A Life Is New Team Answered by

List removalist or van hire costs, packing materials, storage, cleaning, utility connections, travel and any new furniture or repairs. If you rent, allow for the bond, rent overlap and possible cleaning or breakage charges, subject to your tenancy agreement and state rules. Add a buffer for unexpected expenses and compare written quotes from providers before booking. It can also help to review contents insurance and update your address with banks, insurers, government departments and service providers.
