Potential Extra Costs

What to Consider When Moving Alone?

You may consider hiring a van and moving all your possessions yourself, and indeed this is possible. However, it will probably take you longer than experienced and professional movers who cope with the logistics of house moves day in and day out. Even if you have managed to persuade friends or family to help, you have to organise the rental of the right sized van and pick it up.

Logistic When Moving Alone

Then you need to sort out the paperwork, leave a large deposit and hope that nothing happens to dent it or scratch the bodywork while it is in your possession.

After all that it is time to drop it off while remembering to fill it back up with petrol or diesel when you have finished. Doesn’t it sound so much easier to hire a man or two and a van to sort it all out for you?

Tips to Prepare for Your House Move

Moving house can be a panic-stricken, stressful affair but with a bit of planning it could go much more smoothly:

•  Hire the professionals

Man with a van are experienced movers and can make the day run like clockwork, but make sure they have adequate insurance and check out any reviews online or from people you know who have used them before you book.

•  Compare quotes

Request more than one quote and read the small print so you know what you are ordering. Don’t necessarily choose the cheapest quote, but instead the one that fits your requirements.

•  Start packing as early as you can

Don’t leave everything until the last minute or your stress levels will rocket. Start with items that you don’t use frequently to get the majority of your packing completed as soon as you can.

  Declutter

Use moving as an impetus to declutter. The less you have, the cheaper it will be to move.

  Packing

Make sure you use proper packing boxes which Man with Van companies can provide. The last thing you need is for bags or cheap boxes to break and spill your possessions before you arrive at your new home.

•  Pack a survival box

This should include anything you will need as soon as you arrive at your new home like scissors, paper towels, bin bags and cutlery. As a special note, the people who are helping you move would really appreciate a cup of tea or coffee, so a kettle, mugs, milk and sugar along with tea bags and coffee will endear you to your helpers.
