Costs of House Shifting Services in India: Here’s how
to calculate and keep it low
Share8
Are you planning to book a packing and shifting services?
Wondering how much it would cost? I remember, when I was shifting my house for
the first time, I was quite concerned about the costs of house shifting
services because, I was supposed to pay the pending bills before relocating.
Therefore, i always tried and wanted to keep the costs of house
shifting as low as possible. I interacted with many movers and packers agencies, and what i understood in the end was
that, its a very complicated process to find the accurate costs of house
shifting services in India.
The costs of house shifting can’t be calculated randomly
because unfortunately, there is no fixed costing policy in moving and
relocation industry (especially in India). But, there are ways to calculate the
tentative costs of house shifting, with the help of some movers and packers
companies. Cost of the overall home shifting must be estimated considering the
overall packing costs, costs of transporting, loading, unloading, handling,
insurance and etc.
There is post relocation costs as well, but it won’t be too much
when compared to the moving costs, which includes costs of packing materials,
packing the stuffs, loading, transportation, unloading, transit insurance,
handling and other charges of the movers and packers companies, as well as the
service tax and any other tax/costs if applicable. Other tax may include Octori
and toll charges which are applicable when you are doing a long distance or a
domestic shifting of a house in India.
Costs of house shifting in India – here’s what matters the
most
Moving costs includes every cost that you spend during your move
because, this is the most expensive part that covers several costs heads.
However, in order to get your goods packed and moved safely, you can hire a
packers and movers service provider in your city. They will offer you
packages, in which they will be taking care of every aspect of
shifting your goods. They’ll look after everything right from procuring packing
materials, to getting everything packed by professionally trained packing
experts. After packing they will load and transporting your goods,
and they’ll also take care of unloading them carefully. Insurance for the goods
is also very necessary while relocating. You can directly buy insurance from a
National Insurance Company, or directly from the service providers. Its always
okay to add the cost of insurance with your overall shifting cost.
But in case, if you decide not to hire a movers and packers and
do all the tasks on your own, then also you’ll have to calculate the
cost of every single thing . You have to buy adequate amount of packing
materials depending on the number of goods you have. You have to hire a truck,
and find labors who can load your goods into the truck and get it transported.
But if you do this on your own(loading), then you maybe able to save
some money. But still, it’s better to leave it for the experts.
What we have discussed above are the main, compulsory and
important moving costs that every mover can charge. But, there might be
some other costs depending on the situations. For instance- you may want
to store your goods for a week or so after moving, because your new home is not
yet ready. If that’s the scenario, then you can again find a safe storage space
which is offered by movers and packers companies across all major cities.
Storage service may not be available at all locations and cities, but it’s very
much available in all the well-known cities in India these days.
Post
house shifting costs
Even if shifting and moving costs is the major one, there are
some small post shifting costs that you should keep under consideration. Some
of the post move and shifting costs that you may like to consider are as
follows:
Advance rental deposits
Unless you are moving to your new house or getting an
accommodation from the company, you’ll have to pay advance rent and some
security deposit to rent a flat almost in any city. Depending on the monthly
rent, a land lord may ask you to deposit advance rent of up to 3 to 6 months.
In some cases they will deduct a certain percentage from your monthly
rent, but at times they may not consider doing that. So, keep it in mind while
moving a house.
Costs of essential
utilities
Depending on the situation, you may have to pay certain fees to
arrange essential utilities like cooking gas, and etc. So, consider these
things while shifting a house.
There maybe many such small expense, and it totally depends
on an individual’s circumstances and preferences. I am just giving you an idea,
so that you can consider looking at all of the expenses while preparing an
estimated cost for house shifting services in India.
