Obviously, you want moving home to go as smoothly as possible. This is why planning carefully and avoiding these common moving mistakes is important.
Your belongings don’t fit in the moving van
If the moving van arrives and it is too small, it will have to take more than one trip, which could cost more. Before the move, the removal service should survey your home to determine how much stuff you have and assess the correct size van.
The removal service cannot access your new home
Make sure that there is adequate parking space for the removal van outside both the old and new homes. If there are parking restrictions outside the homes, you may need a parking permit or ask the local council to suspend restrictions. The removal service can probably do this for you.
The removal team cannot remove some items
Appliances such as dishwashers and fridges need to be disconnected from the electricity and water supply before moving. The removal team may not be authorised to do this for you. Fridges and freezers should be emptied of food.
Make sure that all furniture fits through the doorways, otherwise, it may be impossible to move. Dismantle large furniture and beds if possible before the removal team arrives.
