What could make my home move cost more?

We work very hard with our removal partners to try and make certain you get an accurate quote when using reallymoving, but there are constantly going to be a couple of situations that can add costs to a home move.

We advise asking your removal group for getting a ‘removal survey ‘, where a member of the removal team will come and assess your home. This way they can see just how much stuff you have and can properly approximate how huge a van you’ll need and how big a group.

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

Being on a high floor without any 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 whatever, so you’ll pay for the additional time, or the removal business will employ more people to accelerate the move, however you’ll spend for a larger team.

It is among those unfortunate things that can’t really be avoided. Some people may wish to take a lot and try of the items downstairs themselves in the hopes of accelerating the process, but keep in mind that you’ve employed experts who know how to carry heavy or tough items correctly without putting themselves or your products at risk.

Parking range from the property

It might not be your fault, but if the removal team can’t park the van near your property, it’s going to take them longer to pack, which will cost you more.

If you can, organize any authorizations or parking access in advance. Whether that suggests applying to the council for licenses or talking with your neighbours about obstructing their driveway, the more you prepare, the simpler it will be.
Do not forget this applies to the property you’re moving into, along with the one you’re leaving– making or blocking the roadway life tough for your brand-new neighbours isn’t going to make the best first impression.

Disassembly and reassembly

Confirm beforehand how much disassembly and reassembly will cost– do not assume that those additional services are consisted of in your quote.

You can, naturally, pick to take apart items yourself and cut the costs, but if you are worried about doing this, it’s finest to leave it to your removals firm and simply shoulder the additional expense.

As this is an extra service, always remember to schedule it ahead of time. Otherwise the timings your removal team will have worked out will be wrong, the move will take longer and you’ll wind up paying more.

Garden products

When looking around your home, it’s so easy to forget the garden and miss it out from your quote. Additional products like garden furniture or a shed loaded with tools is right away going to increase your costs.
Exercise ahead of time whether you plan to take specific structures (greenhouses, sheds, play houses, climbing frames) with you when you move, and whether you’ll be dismantling them yourself.

Bear in mind also that some products can’t truly be moved by removals firms– open cans of paint, fertiliser, certain chemicals and plant pots typically will not be accepted. Other items can be moved by removals firms however might require maintenance or preparation beforehand– for instance, if you desire a removals firm to transfer a lawnmower, it needs to be relatively tidy and empty.
