Death, divorce and debt

A very gloomy title for a blog but apparantly the only 3 reasons why anyone should be moving according to an estate agent quoted in the Sunday Times.

These are also probably the three most stressful life experiences so couple it with moving house and you may have meltdown.

As a removals company we can’t help tackle the three D’s but we can provide a stress free solution for moving house.

When you are under pressure it is almost a reflex action to find a quick fix solution and very often the cheapest, easiest option.  If you have to  move in a hurry, many people put their things into storage.  £30 or so a week doesn’t sound very much but if you land up having to store for longer than expected, the costs soon mount up.  You will also have the removal costs into and out of storage.  If you do need to store, only put the absolutely essential into your container.  Storage is very effective short term or for those irreplaceable items with sentimental value.

When it comes to booking your removal consider the price of your time and your stress levels.  Choosing a company that can offer the whole package will at least ensure you have nothing else to worry about on the day.  Will you really have the time to pack up your house in advance of the removal company arriving?  Enjoy the luxury of having everthing done for you and having some fit young men at your beck and call for the day – how often does this happen?  A cheap removal will often result in shortcuts and inferior skills so after your move you may then have the hassle of making an insurance claim for breakages and loss of items plus a very stressful removal day.

Downsizing seems to be the buzzword of the credit crunch and we can advise and assist you in advance of your move for the most cost effective solutions.
