Let us help you to decide which is better: Flat rate Vs hourly rate house removals in Nottingham
The question of flat rate Vs hourly rate house removals in Nottingham is a complex question. There are many differences between the two. Being informed before you make a decision will help you make the right choice between flat rate Vs hourly rate house removals in Nottingham.
Hourly rates:
[icon icon=”info” size=”small” style=”none” shape=”inherit” text_color=”#f48a00″]Using a house removal company that charges an hourly rate can be a dangerous option as no one can know exactly how long your move will take. For example if you have received a quote of £90 per hour, and the move is estimated to take 8 hours you will pay £720.00. However estimates are just that, and often with removals there are many hurdles to overcome along the way.
[icon icon=”info” size=”small” style=”none” shape=”inherit” text_color=”#f48a00″]£720.00 may sound like a competitive price, but what will happen if you are moving long distance and the van gets stuck in heavy traffic, along with this many roads are now toll roads and may incur charges to cross. All of these factors added together can make up a very expensive move.
[icon icon=”info” size=”small” style=”none” shape=”inherit” text_color=”#f48a00″]When deciding whether to choose Flat rate Vs Hourly rate house removals in Nottingham, bear in mind that at times the company are under a lot of pressure to get the move done as quickly as possible to stay within the estimated time period. On the flip side of this, as they are being paid by the hour some companies may take as long as possible to complete your job to secure themselves more money.
[icon icon=”info” size=”small” style=”none” shape=”inherit” text_color=”#f48a00″]Companies that charge hourly rates, will usually split the hourly rates between the 1,2 or 3rd man, increasing the hourly rate for every man needed for your move. This is why hourly rates can really spiral out of control, especially when people have budgeted for the hourly rate, your movers have estimated the move to take.
[icon icon=”info” size=”small” style=”none” shape=”inherit” text_color=”#f48a00″]When choosing a company that charges hourly rates, always be very cautious.The size of your house removal and the physical fitness and speed of your removal men, will determine the price you pay, when choosing hourly rates.
[divider icon=”” style=”simple”]
Flat rate:
[divider icon=”” style=”simple”]
[icon icon=”info” size=”small” style=”none” shape=”inherit” text_color=”#f48a00″]House removal companies that charge flat rates, tend to finish the job quicker, with fewer breaks and without dragging their feet. Offering the professional touch to your move. This is the type of professional house removal we recommended when moving home, whether moving around the corner or moving long distance.
[icon icon=”info” size=”small” style=”none” shape=”inherit” text_color=”#f48a00″]Knowing how much your move is going to cost in advance is a huge factor when deciding whether to use Flat rate Vs Hourly rate house removals in Nottingham. Not knowing how much it will cost could cause you a great deal of worry on the day of your move. Knowing the price in advance will also allow you to budget for your move in advance.
[icon icon=”info” size=”small” style=”none” shape=”inherit” text_color=”#f48a00″]To receive a flat rate you should be offered a free of charge home viewing. This is where a move co ordinator will visit you at home to asses the volume of items you have to move. This is also a great opportunity for you to ask any questions or address any concerns that you may have.
[icon icon=”info” size=”small” style=”none” shape=”inherit” text_color=”#f48a00″]A flat rate, fixed price is great for customers moving house, especially when their house removals company is moving furniture, up flights of stairs, walking furniture through long corridors to the removal van or loading and waiting for the lift etc, this can take much longer than normal, but with a flat rate, fixed price, house removals company, you will not need to worry, as you already know months before your move, exactly how much it is going to cost.
[icon icon=”info” size=”small” style=”none” shape=”inherit” text_color=”#f48a00″]Remember when you make contact with a removal company you will receive the best fixed rate price possible if you are always upfront and honest regarding all aspects of your move.
[divider icon=”” style=”simple”]
A flat rate or a fixed price is by far the most best solution when moving a house, flat, mobile home, apartment or even bungalow, leaving the price open is not what you need when moving home to your new home location. Keeping customers in the dark, about the price of their move, is not how a professional house removals company operates, it’s business. In stead, when hiring a professional company that charges a flat rate or fixed price they will give you the exact price of your move. If the move goes on later than expected, you will not be charged, extra, fees for this. In our mind the question of Flat rate Vs Hourly rate house removals in Nottingham is an easy decision.
