You’ve been clearing your clutter and evacuating your products, but your removal price quote was more pricey than you expected. Here’s what impacts the expense of a move, and what you can do about it.

What could make my home move expense more?

We work extremely difficult with our removal partners to try and make sure you get an accurate quote when using reallymoving, but there are constantly going to be a few circumstances that can add costs to a home move.

We recommend asking your removal group for getting a ‘removal survey ‘, where a member of the removal group will come and assess your home. In this manner they can see simply just how much stuff you have and can properly approximate how big a van you’ll need and how big a group.

Arrange Your House Removal Dublin

Here are a few things that can have an influence on the cost of your home move:

Being on a high flooring with no lift

It’s going to cost you more to move if there are lots of stairs to get to your flat (and no lift). This is for one of two factors. Either it will take longer to move everything, so you’ll pay for the additional time, or the removal business will work with more people to accelerate the move, but you’ll pay for a larger group.

It is one of those unfortunate things that can’t actually be avoided. Some people may wish to attempt and take a lot of the items downstairs themselves in the hopes of accelerating the process, but keep in mind that you’ve employed professionals who know how to bring challenging or heavy items properly without putting themselves or your items at risk.

Parking range from the home

Disassembly and reassembly

As this is an extra service, constantly keep in mind to book it ahead of time. Otherwise the timings your removal group will have worked out will be wrong, the move will take longer and you’ll wind up paying more.

Garden items

Other products can be moved by removals firms but might need maintenance or preparation beforehand– for example, if you desire a removals firm to transfer a lawnmower, it needs to be empty and fairly clean.
