A house clear out is the best way to keep moving cost low and will ensure you are not taking items or furniture you no longer want or need to the new home.

Moving home is the chance to clear the unwanted items you forgot you had.

If moving on a budget, you may want to do as much of the work your self. This could include any thing from the packing of all items and furniture, finding your own boxes, dismantling furniture, disconnecting appliances. This sounds simple, but it could prove to be more hard work than you imagined, depending on the size of your home and how many items you have to pack.
Another important thing to remember is that many removal companies may not cover your move with their own insurance policy, if customers pack their own items. So check with your movers fi

No matter how big or how small your home is, it is always a good idea to invite your moving company round to see exactly what your move involves. This is the only way your movers will get a full idea of what they will need to do and tackle on removals day.[/fusion_text][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]
Arrange A FREE Home Survey
[/fusion_text][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]Invite your removals company to visit your home. Asked them to conduct a free no obligation home survey. A survey is where your moving company visits you at home to assess the belongings you wish to move to the new home. They will also explain the whole moving process to you.
Many removal companies will have alternative options, like completing a video survey or taking a detailed inventory list. All are ok. But nothing can beat speaking to your movers face to face.[/fusion_text][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””][/fusion_text][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]
Show your movers everything

Let your moving company know if you will have to wait for the new house keys
[/fusion_text][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]Their are many occasions where people are left waiting for the new house keys to be released by the estate agents. If this is the case let your movers know right away, as they will be able to start the move at a later time. Some removal companies will charged for any waiting times. So its always best to notify them asap.[/fusion_text][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]

If you think your quote should be cheaper or if you have had a cheaper quote but would like to go with another company. Explain this to them as they may provide you with a price match. Most removal companies will always work to fit in to your budgets when moving home, so it’s always worth negotiating on price if necessary.

Thinking of doing your own home packing
[/fusion_text][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]If doing your own home packing service it is vital that you have everything boxed and packed before your movers actually arrive. Some companies may not take boxes that are open, nor take items that are not packed.
The key to packing your home is to ensure all items smaller than a microwave end up bubble wrapped and placed safely in to a removal box.[/fusion_text][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]
Ask your removals company if they will use a smaller removal vehicle
[/fusion_text][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]If moving locally or with a 10 mile radius it may be possible for your removals company to provide a smaller vehicle for your move but complete 1 or 2 trips. This option is for smaller removals only 2-3 bed moves. Using a smaller vehicle completing 2 trips can work out a lot more cost-effective, than having a large 7.5 tonne or 18 tonne removal lorry. Using a 3.5 tonne completing 2 trips could save you £200 off your move.[/fusion_text][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]
Moving at weekends can sometimes work out to be a lot cheaper
[/fusion_text][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]The day of the week you plan to move home may affect the price you pay for your move. For example a lot of removal companies in the UK are extremely busy on Fridays, during the summer and winter. Removals during this time can be expensive. So moving in January, on a weekend or any day but Friday may be the best if moving on a budget.[/fusion_text][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]

Always accept a fixed price quotation for your move
[/fusion_text][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]When moving home it is always best to go with removal companies that provide a fixed price quote or set price. This is so you know exactly where you stand and how much money you need to budget for your move well in advance.
Many man and van removal companies will charge a hourly rate. This is ok, but only if the move lasts a few hours, can you imagine the total hourly cost for a 6 bedroom house for the whole day or 2.[/fusion_text][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]

[/fusion_text][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]
Your moving company will base your quote on the following
- The size of your home
- The volume of furniture you have to be moved
- The type of services you require. Packing, boxes, dismantling etc
- How many days the move may take
- The number of movers and packers needed
- The size of vehicle (s ) that you will need
- The distance of travel to the new home location
All of the above must be clearly analysed before a professional removals company provides you with a quotation.
