Moving house can be an exhausting and disruptive experience. Everyone in the
household is affected in some way, even the family pet. The best weapon to
alleviate some of the pressure and stress is thorough planning and being well
organised. If you are moving yourself, many hands certainly do make light work,
so if family and friends are willing, enlist their help as well. Start assessing
everything that needs to be done a couple of months in advance. Getting quotes,
choosing a removalist and going through a household of goods that may not have
been reviewed in some years all take time.
You need to make a few decisions in regards to your move and the earlier you
make them, the less stressful it will be in the long run.
Do you want the full service where the removalists pack, transport and unpack
your entire household contents or do you want to pack and unpack yourself?
Get quotes from several companies and ask friends and family for
recommendations.
Ask the removalist for testimonies of satisfied customers if necessary and
choose the company you believe will offer the best service.
If they seem more expensive than others, ask them to match their nearest
competitor. Find out what's included in the quote and what's extra - including
insurance.
If you need a hand to find your local removalist, use your Yellow directory.
