How to move into a new house without spending a lot of money?

Moving house can be very expensive and for many people it is a stressful operation. Apart from the fact that our handy moving tips can take your stress away, you can also personally ensure that your move doesn't become too expensive. In this article you will therefore find tips to move cheaply. That's exactly what you need, right?

Everything starts with good planning

Moving house is all about thorough planning. As soon as you know exactly what needs to be done when, you can save yourself a lot of costs. So think carefully beforehand about which steps you need to go through and when exactly this needs to happen. Think carefully beforehand about whether you need external parties (for lifting all the heavy stuff, moving all the stuff etc.) and find out in advance which parties are best suited for this. Take a look at our 'Moving house checklist' to start your move as prepared as possible.

Compare multiple moving offers

In finding the right removal company, it is very important to understand in advance what you think are important aspects of the parties involved. Do you want them to be as cheap as possible, do you want the movers to lift the heavy stuff or do they have to offer more than an 'ordinary' removal company?

A moving quote gives you more insight into the moving costs for your move. By requesting multiple quotes you are better able to negotiate about the prices and the desired extra services that the moving parties offer.

By determining in advance how much space all your belongings will take up, you can determine the size of the moving van in advance. This way you also know whether the (possibly larger) moving van will entail extra costs, or not. Of course, the moving companies can also advise you on this.

Choose the cheapest day

Moving on a weekday is often the most advantageous. Therefore, if possible, choose a weekday before the move. Student movers can also save costs, so keep this in mind.

Only take with what is needed

You may have read this tip in one of our previous moving blogs, perhaps useful to read it again. In all those years in that same house or building you often collected a lot of unnecessary stuff. Rommel, but also products you never actually use. By renouncing these items in advance, the costs of the move can also go down considerably. Think of the space you save in the moving van(s), but also the time it takes for the movers to load all this stuff. Take your time and see which things can be removed, it gives you peace of mind and leaves money in your wallet, fine!

Have your move (partly) reimbursed

Did you already know that there are situations in which you are eligible for a moving allowance? Unfortunately, hardly anyone knows about them. As soon as you have to move because of a new job, you may be eligible for this. In addition to a reimbursement from your new employer, which can amount to up to €7,750, you may also be eligible for a reimbursement from your landlord. If the rental agreement is not extended due to renovation or demolition, you have a chance to win this. Have the relevant authorities inform you about this in good time or look up the necessary information on the internet or via the municipality. They can also help you qualify for a relocation allowance, for example in the event of a disability or urban renovation. Good luck with these options!
