Cost of moving on the rise

British home-movers are spending £748 on average each time they move house, on top of estate agency fees, conveyancing fees and stamp duty land tax. Research by the home-moving app Moveable shows that the cost is rising along with inflation and a booming housing market. As we move at least five times in our life on average, and the total cost of these add-ons is £4,116, up 12% on 2020 (£3,688) and 20% on 2019 (£3,417).
