Saving money when moving your home

Hello again dear Readers! After an early spring break, we are back with more tips and removals advice to assist you with preparations for your upcoming moving jobs. Today we raise an important subject of saving money when moving your home.

Finding the right company saves money:

Firsts things first – finding the right removal company for your move is the step number one. Look for companies with good online reputation. They should have many good external reviews. Once you narrow them down to obtain few quotations, do not necessarily go for the cheapest one. Some companies indeed can afford to move you for a small price, but some of them simply cut corners to be able to quote cheaply. This often results in a poor quality of service and additional costs at the end of your moving process. Therefore, consider it wisely.

Decluttering part:

Decluttering helps a lot in saving money when moving home. Less items makes the job faster. You will also have satisfaction by simply making a “spring cleaning” of your household. There is no better feeling than moving fresh without all those items that would collect dust in your attic or garage repeatedly.

Disposal after decluttering:

Seek for a company that also provides disposal services. Decluttering process may surprise you with how many household items could be disposed of. Electing a moving company that provides such a service can often be cheaper than hiring an external firm for this task.

Pack your household upfront:

If you feel comfortable about it, or if you are simply on a budget, you can pack your household by yourself. Usually packing process adds around 30 – 40% of cost in addition to the price of moving. Consider your financial situation and make the choice accordingly.

Use quality packing materials: 

Quality packing materials are important too. While it may be tempting to save some money, we advise to avoid going for cheap packaging offers from external vendors. Removal companies understand best that using cheap packing materials especially boxes leads to disasters. They collapse under their weight when loaded. Therefore, movers prefer to use strong double walled boxes to work magic on their vehicles and lots of moving companies have such boxes available on sale for your moving project. Spending more here will save you hustle and money at the end.

Storage solutions from your moving company:

Should you require a storage solution, check for a company that also offers storage facilities. They will best understand what you need, what size of storage room is required, what packing materials to choose and how to pack it all, so it fits perfectly in a storage room. Such movers will serve as a one stop shop for moving out, storage in between and moving to your destination property in the future.
