Halifax intermediaries is offering homebuyers £500 towards the cost of moving home on completion of a property purchase.
The offer will be available to homebuyers who take out selected New Build, NewBuy and Shared Equity/Shared Ownership products between August 31 and October 22.
According to the lender, research shows that over the last 10 years, the cost of moving home has increased by 69 per cent, with the average removal cost being £1,110 when using a professional removal company.
It added that the expense of moving home is now at its highest level since the peak of the housing market in 2007, with costs in the UK rising at a faster rate than house prices over the past decade.
Head of sales at Halifax Intermediaries Ian Wilson said: “Many homebuyers budget for major costs such as stamp duty and estate agent fees when purchasing a property. However, sometimes many other costs, such as removal costs can catch buyers out and add further pressure to tight purse strings.
“With £500 cashback towards the cost of moving home for homebuyers purchasing properties through specialist new build and affordable housing schemes, we are helping to alleviate some of this pressure and support homebuyers. We also have a long serving dedicated housing development team who have extensive knowledge and expertise to support housebuilders and their clients.”
