What about overhead utilities?

How often are overhead utilities a problem?

Anything over a one story house will get into the overhead utilities.
 
How far can I move a house with overhead utilities in the way?

Moving a one story house 70 miles across country isn't really unreasonable. However, moving a two story house over 15 to 20 miles might be too expensive.

The statements above are just a rough estimation. It will vary depending on your possible routes.

 
Who pays for the cost of moving the overhead utilities?
Typically, the home owner is responsible for the overhead utility costs. This includes but is not limited to: power lines, telephone lines, and cable TV.
