Moving home is known quite commonly, as one of the most stressful times one will face in their lifetime. Every task appears to be rolled into one and the excitement of starting a new life in a fresh new home is quickly, overtaken by the mammoth mission that awaits you. Taking hold of a notebook and pen will assist you with breaking down the process into small manageable and possible assignments.
Where do I start? By getting this far you may have already found your new home by purchasing, renting or mutual exchange, including examining the area to ensure it is right for you and your family. A look at Up My Street will give you an idea of recorded crime levels, educational abilities and generally affluence and well-being within the area. You may also have visited the new home during different times of the day and evening to see what really happens in the area.
Contact at least three Full Removal service companies or Man and Van business and establish exactly what you expect from them. You may save money by doing the packing yourself and having it ready for removal. So, where do you start? Purchase sturdy boxes of various sizes, plenty of cello-tape, marker pens, and bubble wrap and keep all of your old newspapers.
Make a list of all the Utility service providers you will need to inform, such as,
Electricity
Gas
Water (in)
Water (out / waste)
Telephone provider
Broadband provider
Bank or Building Society
Driving licence
Vehicle Logbook V5
Doctors
Dentist
Pension
Life Insurer
Car Insurer
Have a look at your bank statement to see whom you have direct debits with and contact each one to inform them that you are moving.
If you have a contract with a provider, for example Broadband and they do not cover the area you are moving to, they may attempt to hold you in breach of contract. We will go through this in more depth soon.
When considering employing a man and van, think firstly of the process as it could save you money. There are normally two options to consider. Full Man and Van quotation to cover the day or a man and van hourly rate. For example, when researching the trade I was quoted £130.00. This involved collecting boxed items from my front of house ground floor living room, which is 3 to 4 metres from the main road. I estimated that a Luton Van would be adequate. To then drive 8 miles and unload into a ground floor storage unit. This process would have taken no more than 2 hours. Man and Van-tastic would have charged £60, which is more than 50% cheaper than other man and van services.
