Once your house has been sold we advise that you follow these simple steps to ensure a smooth and stress free removal:
-
Contact a removal company and arrange for a visit to your property for an estimate.
-
Once your date has been confirmed by your solicitor, book your removal company.
-
Check this company offers insurance whilst goods are in transit .
-
Pack as early as possible if you are self packing. Your removal company will give a quote for this service if you require.
-
Ensure boxes are clearly labelled - especially the one with the kettle in!
-
Redirect mail. Inform utilities companies of your removal date and change of address.
-
Ensure to read your meters before leaving the property. Inform your council, TV licence, bank etc of your change of address.
-
Arrange for disconnection of gas/electrical appliances on the morning of your removal and reconnection at your new property.
-
Dismantle any required items ie; beds, wardrobes, beforehand if advised to by your removal company.
-
Pack essential items for immediate use in your new property and label clearly so they are to hand.
-
Pick up the keys to your new property once the sale is complete and enjoy the unpacking.
-
Boxes can be returned to your removal company for recycling or you can recycle them yourself.
These tips are our guidelines only.
