What are the
reasons for selling a building to be moved?
Often redundancy in a redeveloping area or an area where its potential
was never reached or was short-lived produces a surplus of quality homes.
Or, you may have just purchased the 'perfect' lot and would like to
build new. By offering your home as a building for sale to be
moved you save yourself the expense of demolition.
What types of houses are
feasible to move?
Any house can be moved, but not all houses are feasible to move. The
height of the building can be an issue - the higher the building the
greater the potential for wire expense.
Who is responsible for
obtaining permits?
Moving permits are the responsibility of the mover. Building permits
are the responsibility of the homeowner.
Should we include the appliances with the house?
Yes, it's a good idea. If you are building new, you really have no
use for the used appliances.
What is my house worth?
Each home is different. A house in its original condition,
built in the 1950's (original windows, original wiring, original
plumbing) will be worth less than one where the owner has replaced
the windows to double paned and who has updated the wiring and the
plumbing. We would be happy to meet with you at your house to
discuss your home's value.
Do
people request specific
types of houses?
Yes, in fact we keep a data bank of all our clients' requests and when
something specific becomes available, we contact everyone who has
expressed an interest in such a structure. Most customers who are
looking to purchase a building to be moved are looking for 1200 square
foot, 3 bedroom bungalows. But, this is just an average - there
are people who are looking for smaller or larger than this.
Does it cost anything
to advertise my house on your website?
No, we provide this service, free of charge. By showcasing
buildings for sale to be move in this way we allow our customers who
are looking for houses a chance to browse from their desks. If
they see a house on our website that they are interested in we then
set up an appointment to view.
