I'm trying to find some land to relocate my doublewide home to. Easier said than done unless I want to buy 14 ac. It is a four year old caviler home. I have seen someone move a singlewide but with a doublewide do you have to move everything out of it appliances and such?. The person that moved the singlewide was able to leave much of their big items inside.
I was also wondering how long does it take to get it put back together typically. I would love to find land and put it on a foundation rather than blocks like it is now. I guess I am just trying to figure out what I am getting myself into moving it Thank you for any information
Relocating a Doublewide
Hi
What state are you in? How far are you moving the MH?
Around where I live they move homes short distances with the furniture in them but it is better if they are empty...of course.
To install the MH at the new site the property should be properly graded so water drains away from the home. You also need a septic system and power. Once that is done the 2 halfs can be joined in one day. The roof, siding, electric, plumbing and interior can take another day.
Be sure you use licensed and insured installers. Be sure you pull all the necessary permits.
Around here a correct move could run $4,000.00 to $8,000.00 depending.
Here are some more cost estimates you would have where I live:
Item Cost
septic system $3,000.00
power pole & hookup $1,500.00
grade land $3,000.00
well $3,600.00
permit $1,000.00
impact fee $7,000.00
Total $19,100.00

Aside from the roof leak, soft floors, rats, mice and bursted plumbing ........ how do you like it?
Hi
Impact fee - is a fee that is implemented by the county on a new development (residence and business) to help assist or pay for a portion of the costs that the new development may cause such as roads, water sewage schools. Each Florida county has a different fee payable when you pull the building permit.
You may not have one at all.
