Average Costs Based on Home Size

When planning an international move, one of the key factors influencing the cost is the size of your home. Smaller homes generally incur lower costs compared to larger ones. However, the continent to which you’re moving also plays a significant role in determining the overall expense. Let’s break down these costs to provide a clear picture.

Service Type 1–2 Bedroom Home 3–4 Bedroom Home 5–6 Bedroom Home
Europe $3,350–$6,850 $7,850–$11,850 $10,850–$16,850
Asia $3,750–$8,050 $8,350–$12,850 $11,850–$17,350
Australia $3,850–$8,850 $8,550–$12,350 $12,850–$17,850
Africa $4,350–$9,850 $8,850–$14,850 $13,850–$18,350
South America $3,650–$8,650 $8,350–$13,450 $11,650–$15,850

Each of these figures represents an average range and can vary based on factors such as specific location, additional services, and time of year. Understanding these costs can better prepare you for the financial aspects of your move, helping to ensure a smoother transition to your new home abroad.

Start planning 3-6 months before your move date. This gives time for documentation, shipping arrangements, and proper organization of your belongings.
Essential documents include passport, visa, customs forms, detailed inventory list, insurance paperwork, and any required certifications for your destination country.
Cancel or transfer utilities at your current home and set up services at your destination. Notify important parties of your move: banks, credit cards, insurance, etc.
Consider selling, donating, or storing items that can’t be moved internationally. Some items may be restricted or cost-prohibitive to ship.
Pack an essentials box with immediate necessities. Research local services, emergency contacts, and temporary accommodation if needed.
