Moving into a new home can come with several expenses, especially when belongings have to be shifted from another city. A Bengaluru couple recently shared how much they spent while moving into a three-bedroom apartment in South Bengaluru, with the total cost crossing Rs 2.5 lakh.
Ana Mishra and her partner, Ishan, recently rented a 3BHK home in South Bengaluru. Mishra was already living in another apartment in the city, while Ishan relocated here from Kolkata. They decided to enlist the help of a broker to find the home. Mishra mentioned that while it was possible to find a house without a broker, they did not want to handle the entire search process themselves. Additionally, the couple rented a washing machine, a refrigerator, and a water purifier. However, this amount did not include the cost of decorating the new home or purchasing other items.
They paid the broker a fee of Rs 37,000, equivalent to one month’s rent. Mishra spent Rs 3,000 to transport personal belongings from her previous Bengaluru home to the new apartment. They pay Rs 2,800 per month for these three appliances. Meanwhile, shifting their Wi-Fi connection to the new home cost Rs 700. Mishra stated that their total expenditure for the entire moving process came to Rs 2,53,500.
