When moving home, it is advisable to book a removal company as soon as possible. Ideally, you should book from four to eight weeks before the date of the move.
Why book so early?
Popular moving dates book up quickly. Friday is the most popular day for moving, as it allows the weekend for unpacking and organising the new home. The next preferred day for moving is Saturday. Friday and Saturday moving dates in the summer are soon booked up. If you plan to move at the weekend, make sure to book early.
If you book early, you are more likely to find several removal firms that are available. You may want to ask for quotes from all of them to compare prices; don’t necessarily go for the cheapest quote. Check that there are no hidden extra fees and read customer reviews to make sure that the removal company has a good reputation.
Moving home is stressful, but careful planning helps reduce stress. After booking a removal company, there is one less thing to think about. By doing as much as possible before the move, last-minute problems are avoided.
Before you book
Before you book a removal company, make sure that contracts have been exchanged and you will be the legal owner of the new home on moving day. If renting, there should be written confirmation that the keys will be available and that the property is vacant.
Have a thorough understanding of the moving process. Communicate clearly with the moving company about what is expected from you on moving day and the exact details of their service. For example, there needs to be parking available for the removal van so that the movers have easy access to the old and new homes. All items that need moving should be packed, and large, heavy items dismantled if possible.
