Everyone knows that buying a new home is an expensive business (not to mention stressful) so looking for ways to save money on the move is always a worthwhile task. There are, of course, certain legal fees and taxes that cannot be avoided but other costs such as estate agent fees and removals fees can be reduced substantially by doing a DIY house removal. Many people are reluctant to market a property themselves because of the price negotiations involved and background checks on potential buyers, which is where estate agents really come in useful, but actually it is perfectly possible to handle these things yourself. Also moving your possessions from your present home into the new place is something relatively simple that most people are able to tackle themselves if they are fit and strong and able to hire a van for the transportation.
