Selling home for relocation

Hi all, I'm just at the early stages of investigating construction of a dualocc on my property. Whilst getting some prices a colleague of mine had mentioned potentially selling my property to a business specialising in relocating homes. I hadn't really thought about this but given my home has been recently renovated the prospect of recouping some of this whilst clearing the block sounds great.
I was wondering if anyone here has used a similar service? Do they actually pay for the home of is it more a "clear the site for free" type proposition. I'm not expecting to make a fortune out of it!

  • Normally clear the site for you in exchange as it does cost quite a bit to cut the house in the middle and transport it.

    Alternatively you can sell it on Gumtree with buyer to arrange transport etc. Depending on house you can make a few thousand to $10K or so

    • Cheers good to know. I reckon 10k or so and a clear site is probably pretty good!

  • My cousin did this to their house (3 bedroom in South East Melbourne). The person who bought it came with a crew of about 10 people and they gutted half the interior and cut it (it was a weatherboard) It was eventually going to a site where a bush fire went through. They got like $11k or something for it

    • Thanks for the story. Mine is a modest weatherboard too but upgraded to a good standard so as much as anything would be nice to think of it existing somewhere still!

    Post it on Ozbargain. "Cheap house, come get it."
