Once you've purchased a mobile home you must have it moved to your desired location. The cost to deliver and set up a double wide usually falls between $2,000 and $5,000, depending on the complexity of the site and distance traveled. Some dealers include the cost of transport and set-up in the base price of the home. Do check whether you're liable for delivery and set-up costs before you buy.
Mobile Home Moving Costs
A mobile home's moving cost depends on transport distance as well as the home's width. It usually costs between $2,000 and $5,000 to move a mobile home less than 100 miles, although it may cost as little as $1,000 in some circumstances. If you're moving a mobile home more than 100 miles, expect to pay $6 to $15 per mile or up to $15,000 in transport costs alone.
Mobile Home Set-up Costs
In addition to transport charges, mobile home movers typically charge another fee to set up a mobile home at its new location. Set-up fees for a mobile home at its new location can run from $1,000 to $5,000. Activities involved in setting up a mobile home at its site include placing the home on its new foundation and then strapping it down or otherwise securing it. Mobile home mover set-up services also include dealing with water and plumbing as well as hooking up all utilities.
Additional Mobile Home Moving Costs
If your mobile home is older, there may be other costs involved before it can be moved. Mobile homes sitting on their wheels and axles for several years, for instance, could require some repair before they can be safely transported. Mobile home wheels cost about $50 per tire to repair, with axles costing around $150 to fix if they're damaged. Also, there's usually an additional $1 to $2 per mile charge for any mobile home mover escort vehicles.
Negotiating Moving Costs
Double-wide mobile homes may cost more than $5,000 to move and then set up. Also, mobile home owners are usually responsible for removing their own skirting, deck, steps and landscaping prior to moving their homes. Sometimes, it may not even make financial sense to move a used mobile home. If you're considering a mobile home, try to negotiate transport and set-up costs as part of its purchase price or buy a new one that includes such costs in its base price.
