There are several schemes run by housebuilders that are designed to relieve some of the problems associated with moving into a newly built home.
A report based on a survey of Oxford residents by housebuilder St Modwen Homes found that a quarter of respondents think that moving home is more stressful than getting divorced, while a third believe that moving is harder than being interviewed for a new job or starting new employment. On average, people move five times in their lifetime and spend eight days packing for each move. People often suffer minor injuries when moving.
The report also revealed that moving home can be difficult emotionally with an average of three arguments and two bouts of tears during a move. The sales and marketing director of St Modwen Homes, Jo Winston, said:
“Whilst some of these stats are shocking to read, for those who have endured the stresses that come with moving, this will unlikely come as a surprise.”
To mitigate the pressure of moving, St Modwen Homes is one of many housebuilding companies with an assisted moving scheme to help with the selling process and reduce costs by contributing to estate agents’ fees. They will even sell your home for you to enable you to move into a new home.
