Moving to a new house can be one of the most stressful and expensive experiences that you can go through. On top of packing your valuables, you need to discontinue utilities, change mailing address and enroll your kids in new schools. However, there are different ways you can avoid paying for more and be at ease.
Disassemble household items
Multiple trips from your old address to your new home can be costly. So make sure that all of your valuables can fit inside the removal truck. One way you can save space is disassembling possessions like bed frames and trampolines. Another clever trick is to bundle tools like brooms and mops together.
Don’t bring old items
The simplest way to save when moving house is sell valuables that you don’t use anymore. This way you can keep removal costs at bay and actually earn money for other purposes. You can also donate old possessions to your local community.
Move when there is no traffic
If the relocation includes passing through major fairways and highways which are daily congested, reconsider the removal schedule. Remember removal companies’ services are paid per hour. So it is wise to schedule when roads are not congested.
Book in advance
Even if you don’t know the exact move date, it is important to book in advance especially when home removal is at its peak. But, make sure that you get your early booking in paper so you understand fees and scope of work. Always insist on giving you a guaranteed price or rate.
Invest in the right packing materials
If you want to curb unnecessary expenses, reconsider the packing materials that you need. If you have a friend who recently relocated, buy their moving boxes. You will surely get the boxes at a steeper price. In fact, you may get them for free. You can also use packing material alternatives like blankets and bed covers for bubble wraps.
Get insured
Unforeseen events can happen during the home removal. Valuables can be knocked down, scratched and dented. If you want to be compensated for the damages, you should ask for insurance from your removal provider. When you have insurance, you are not only protecting your goods from negligence; you are also saving money by avoiding repairs or replacement.
Hire the right removalist
Professional moving house removalists can be more cost-effective than do-it-yourself removal. This is because they have the right materials and skills to make the relocation successful. Plus, they can give you the best removal deal according to your specific budget, requirements and expected removal time frame. They can also help you with other services like storage and rubbish removal.
