What could make my home move cost more?

We work really tough with our removal partners to try and make sure you get a precise quote when utilizing reallymoving, but there are constantly going to be a couple of circumstances that can add expenses 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. In this manner they can see simply just how much stuff you have and can accurately approximate how big a van you’ll need and how big a group.

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

Being on a high floor without any lift

If there are lots of stairs to get to your flat (and no lift), it’s going to cost you more to move. This is for one of two factors. Either it will take longer to move whatever, so you’ll pay for the extra time, or the removal company will employ more individuals to speed up the move, but you’ll pay for a larger team.

It is one of those regrettable things that can’t really be prevented. Some individuals may wish to take a lot and try of the items downstairs themselves in the hopes of accelerating the procedure, but remember that you have actually worked with professionals who know how to carry tough or heavy products appropriately without putting themselves or your products at risk.

Parking distance from the property

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

Arrange any permits or parking gain access to in advance if you can. Whether that indicates applying to the council for permits or talking with your neighbours about blocking their driveway, the more you plan, the easier it will be.
Do not forget this applies to the home you’re moving into, in addition to the one you’re leaving– blocking the road or making life hard for your new neighbours isn’t going to make the best first impression.

Disassembly and reassembly

Verify ahead of time how much disassembly and reassembly will cost– don’t assume that those extra services are consisted of in your quote.

You can, of course, select to take apart products yourself and cut the expenses, however if you are worried about doing this, it’s finest to leave it to your removals firm and simply shoulder the extra expense.

As this is an additional service, always remember to reserve it beforehand. 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 products

When taking a look around your property, it’s so easy to forget the garden and miss it out from your quote. Extra items like garden furniture or a shed loaded with tools is instantly going to increase your costs.
Exercise in advance whether you prepare to take specific structures (greenhouses, sheds, playhouses, climbing frames) with you when you move, and whether you’ll be dismantling them yourself.

Keep in mind also that some products can’t truly be moved by removals firms– open cans of paint, fertiliser, specific chemicals and plant pots frequently will not be accepted. Other items can be moved by removals firms but might require upkeep or preparation in advance– for instance, if you want a removals firm to carry a lawnmower, it needs to be relatively clean and empty.
