Organizing your move sufficient time in advance will help you avoid unnecessary stress and strain, and, in addition, improves planning, which means you can avoid unwelcome accidents brought on by rushing around at the last minute, and ensure you don’t forget any details.
Request several estimates
Don’t accept the first estimate you are given. Get in touch with several removal companies and request each give you an estimate. Afterwards, compare these and choose the company that best suits your specific needs.
Request the estimate be given to you in writing
Don’t accept a verbal estimate, and insist on one in writing. This will be back you up if you have to complain at the end, should the service provided not match the one offered on the estimate. What’s more, ensure the estimate is based on rates of reference that you fully understand.
Sign a contract
When you decide which company to choose, sign a contract with them. This way you can demand they comply with the conditions stipulated in the contract. Don’t accept a refusal to sign a contract from a company, as this is one of your rights.
Go through your belongings
Separate the belongings you are going to take with you from those to be transported by the removals company. It is better for you to take care of objects of value, jewellery, important documents, etc. thus avoiding any unpleasant surprises at the last minute.
12. Don't take belongings you don't need
A move is the perfect excuse to get rid of all the unnecessary items that have accumulated at the bottom of your wardrobe. Make the most of the opportunity and clean out your possessions
