Things to Consider when moving a mobile home:
When moving a manufactured home, it's crucial to remember that distance movers typically charge a minimum fee, regardless of the move's proximity. The cost of moving a manufactured home should be at least $3,000, regardless of the destination. The cost of transportation for a move less than 100 miles can vary from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on the mover. The size of the home also plays a role in the cost, with larger and heavier homes being more challenging to move.
Additional Setup:
The house must also be set up in its new location. You will need to check with your local city or county to see what other permits are required. Many ordinances require a licensed electrician and plumber to make the proper connections. The average cost is around $2,500, but it can range from $1,000 to $5,000. It could include the following:
-
Placing the home on its new foundation, tying it down, and making sure it’s level.
-
Connecting it to utilities.
-
Reattaching anything that was removed for the move (skirting, outdoor features, etc.).
