At The Relocatable House Co we believe that house relocation should be simple.

Making a profit or increasing your equity relocating a house is no different from baking a cake; you need a proven recipe, a simple step-bystep process to guarantee you get the result you are after.

Without a recipe or formula, the process can be tricky which is why we encourage all our clients to follow this simple five-step process.

Steph Dowling, who heads up our sales hub team explains this in more detail.

Step 1: Read The Definitive Guide To Relocating A House

The Definitive Guide to Relocating a House is a free resource that will help you avoid common pitfalls when relocating a house. It will explain the process of house relocation, covering topics you may not have considered before.

Included is the buyer pre-purchase budget checklist, and a simple pre-purchase budget to assist with evaluating the purchase of your new home. To request, call the office on 0800 572 3771 or visit our website: https://relocatablehouses.co.n... download-our-buyers-guide/

Step 2: Gather Site Specific Details

You will need to know a lot of detail about your site, including council requirements, rules, and services locations in order to get the required council consents. You can either collect this information yourself, or we can complete a site audit report to gather all the necessary information.

The site audit report is completed by one of our qualified architectural designers and is presented to you as a 3–4 page report that includes a site plan. For more information visit our website: https://relocatablehouses.co.n... site-audit-reports/

Step 3: Get A Feasibility Study And Cost Estimates

Once the site-specific information is gathered, our project managers will be able to do a feasibility study to get you an estimate of the costs.

This may include finding solutions to any issues that have been highlighted in the site audit report.

For simple sites which are easily accessible from the road and relatively flat, a desktop feasibility study can be produced, but for more complex projects, a site visit will need to be arranged. For more information on feasibility studies and how to order a report visit our website: https://relocatablehouses.co.n... projects/project-management/

Step 4: Apply For Building Consent

Once you have found your house, our in-house, qualified architectural designers can create working drawings and submit a building consent application to your local council on your behalf.

If further consents are required, such as a resource consent, this will have been made clear to you in the site audit report so there will be no hidden surprises.
