House owners are wasting thousands demolishing perfectly good homes instead of relocating them.

House owners are wasting thousands demolishing perfectly good homes instead of relocating them.

Industry expert says too many liveable dwellings are being demolished to make way for new build projects. House owners are wasting tens of thousands on demolition costs that see tonnes of waste materials clogging landfills when there is a better alternative to demolishing that could see owners putting more money into their build budget.

Dave Wilson, General Manager from The Relocatable House Co. says that by choosing to demolish, owners are wasting money and missing out on the many benefits that arise from choosing to relocate the houses instead.

"Imagine if you could save your house from ending up in landfill, says Wilson, or if you were a part of giving another family the opportunity of being able to get into the housing market whilst saving the demolition cost and putting the extra dollars towards your new build."

At The Relocatable House Co. we believe that more New Zealanders owning their own home creates better family environments, better communities and better futures. We are passionate about creating resourceful and innovative solutions to give more New Zealanders the opportunity to own their own home, live better and leave a legacy for future generations.

If you need to dispose of an old house to make way for new, there are thousands of potential buyers in our database looking to purchase a house for relocation and The Relocatable House Co. is a leading provider of professional services to the house relocation industry.

Why throw away a great house when there is a massive housing shortage?

"We have multiple options to sell houses for relocation and maximise the return for the owner," says Wilson.

The experienced team of consultants at The Relocatable House Co. will provide you with a free market appraisal for the sale of your house for relocation. We can sell on your behalf brokering a sale via negotiable price or use one of our flexible purchase outright options.

The best houses are single level, rectangular dwellings that can be moved in one piece with plenty of lead time for removal. These are sought after by purchasers and if you work with us we can really get you the best deal, but any house should be considered for relocation before choosing to demolish. To get a free appraisal for your house go to https://relocatablehouses.co.nz/house-sellers/free-appraisal/

Why throw away a great house when there is a massive housing shortage? You can be part of the housing solution rather than the problem. To find out how, download our comprehensive guide to selling your house for relocation.

To ensure top dollars for your house, get your free appraisal up to six months before removal. Short removal timeframes mean significantly less chance of getting a good price because the house will need to be moved via storage which is double handling and adds extra cost for the purchaser.
