In most cases the house will be worth more because the building will be moved to a more desirable site that the owner has chosen for that very reason.
Q: Must I buy separate insurance to cover the house move?
A: Although Watts House Moving Inc. carries full comprehensive insurance to cover your house move, including structural damage from raising the house to transport to new site, it may be wise to buy short term insurance to cover unforseen problems over which we have no control such as previously existing structure faults and possible inadequate insurance coverage by any of your utility contractors.
