Removals Advice

Removals advice can take in so much and we appreciate many readers could add their own. We still ensure all clients are fully informed by providing them with essential information for a successful move. Why not see for yourself in our Free Removals Advice Pack

Moving home should be enjoyable and our pack will help. As will making sure everyone is focused on your needs, tradesmen, solicitors, your removal company. We offer a few more suggestions in this section to assist:

• Talk to neighbours at both addresses before you move. Arrange parking for yourselves and the removal van, in the case of the new home, a chance to introduce your family and learn more about the area.
• Plan your route to the new house and alternatives. Make sure you have a street map and if possible, check online traffic reports before leaving. We will do the same and let you know of problems but no harm doubling up, or reading a few ideas on travelling to a new home.
• Keep a camera handy to photograph meters as a back up to written recordings. Also useful for anything which might be queried by your buyers, not easy to disagree with fixed images, especially if they have a time and date stamp.
• Have tags made for pets with your name and new phone number so they are ready to be fitted to collars before you move. If your pets can suffer from sickness or anxiety whilst travelling, talk to your vet.

There is naturally more to cover than the points above, which we try to do in the pages linked below and by practical advice if you contact us. You don't need to be a customer, we are happy to share the experiences many removals have offered.

Our removals advice is meant to be positive and we have learned how capable many of our customers are. Still possible to make a slip you wouldn't normally on a busy day and we included a few cautionary videos in the advice section you might like to see:

• Security for your home is a natural concern. This shouldn't be overlooked on moving day, or as part of planning early needs at your new home.
• Moving with children of all ages can be an art in itself. Keeping the older members of the family occupied and younger ones safe.
• Finding good tradesmen can be awkward if you move to a new area. There are a few suggestions you might find useful.
• Preparing for moving day will avoid hitches and make the first few hours at your new property even more of a pleasure.
• Renovating antiques of all types. A few formerly loved possessions which turn up during the move can be brought back to life.
• Renting and removals can hold special needs. A little extra planning will save time, money and make sure you enjoy your new home.
• Guide to packing including the benefit of a detailed approach. Making sure all your possessions arrive in good condition.

We will add to the removals advice as time goes on. We hope you find current entries help, or wish to suggest topics you would like to see covered. Moving has a reputation for stress but much concern can be set aside by planning and good support.

If you have your move planned, we wish you luck in your new home. Should you wish to learn more about the way Farrer and Fenwick work with their clients, take a look through our website, or conact us for a chat at any time.
