Worried about Tesco's Plans? Why Not Just Move?

Some people will ask why those who are concerned by Tesco's plans for St. Albans, in particular those in houses within the immediate vicinity of the store, don't just move. It's a fair question. Aside from the fact that many of us like the community we live in as well as it's location, there's also a serious financial cost involved in moving.

We used a moving cost calculator to see what it would cost for someone selling their home for £280,000 (the price of a 2 bedroom cottage in the area is usually around this amount) in exchange for a home of the same exact price elsewhere. The result? It would cost around £15,300 to move and that's without any mortgage arrangement fees or redecoration included.
