Moving house: More stressful than divorce?

The average person will move house five times in their lifetime, but a poll reveals that almost a third find moving more stressful than getting divorced. A quarter of people say it is harder than starting a new job, while around a fifth claim it is tougher than having a baby or getting fired. Each move involves nine days of packing and shifting, and the average person also suffers minor injuries. According to St Modwen Homes, the average amount spent on moving fees is £3,065. The firm's Jo Winston said: "For those who have endured the stresses of moving, this will unlikely come as a surprise. We often see Brits underestimating the amount of time and money that goes into moving house."
