Moving to another house can be very stressful, exhausting and long thing to do. But almost everyone once in a time has to do that. Some people when they are moving from their parents, others after creating a family or there are some people who decides to move to completely new country. Especially house removals London can be very tough.

And what to do, when you are planning to move but realise that you have so much precious things that you are not able to move them alone. The best solution would be to hire removal company which will do all the hardest work for you.

Ok, you already understood that you need to use external help. But the biggest question is to decide, which one is the best one? There are some steps which you should do before hiring one or another company.

When you have the removal’s companies leader list you need to be confident with each of them. If you will have any doubts with the company during the removal, this process can be very stressful and even harmful. So if you want to be sure with your decision, ask the removal company to show their all valid certificates, that they are up to date. Do not be afraid to ask contacts of their previous moves and call to these persons. Maybe they will have different opinion about this company then it is published publicly. Or maybe contrary, they will tell you how satisfied they have been.

Ask company to come to your house and to evaluate all your possessions, to tell the exact price for your removal. Use this opportunity to see what people will be moving your things. Maybe they are good movers but they completely bad communication skills. How mover communicates is very important because unpleasant behaviour can make the process very stressful. Furthermore, when both sides know more about each other, everything will go smoother on the actual removal day.

There are a lot of companies, which prices are very low. Ask yourself a question, why it is like that? Maybe they are hiring incompetent staff? Or maybe their vehicles are old? Or they are just so desperate for removals that are doing that for any amount of money they can get? Choose that removal company, which price meets quality in your opinion. You need to feel confident with both element (price and quality).

Sometimes removals companies say, that they can move you whenever you like. This sounds little bit suspicious. Why they are not busy? Could it be that no one else is moving with that company? Try to get this information from the company.

Finally, try to choose local house removal company. Fuel prices at the moment are really high so using local companies’ services will be much cheaper for you then choosing anyone from further distance. For example, if you are living in north London, the best solution for you would be to hire North London removals company.

If you are confident enough with the company after checking all these things, it means that finally you find the one that will meet all your needs best.

Good luck with your moving.

Maybe they can recommend the company that they have hired. If you do not anyone who could give you the recommendation, than make a list of removal companies according to internet search (for example, Google.co.uk) or in the business directories. Then, when you have the list, try to find as much as possible information about all of them. You can try browsing review pages, forums and so on.

• Getting quotes. Next step is to write queries or just call to the companies from your list. Ask them what are their prices, what exact service you are going to get and when they are available to move you. Usually removal companies sales manager will try to propose to you some additional services. Do not try to stop him/her from it. Maybe they will suggest you some services that you even thought about, for example packing, which can be very exhausting.

Also, majority of sales managers will be able to say you just the standard prices. Tell them as much possible details about your removal plans that they could give you the more exact proposal according to your needs.

• Giving yourself time. Do not expect that getting quotes is very fast process. Contrary, it might take about two weeks to get all the information you need. When you will get all the quotes you were expecting, do not hurry up to pick up one or another company just right away. Give yourself time to think, to consider all pros and cons. Of course, before giving yourself time you should be sure that on that day when you are ready to move the man and van company will be able to provide you their services, that they are not fully booked.
• Providing details. When you decide which company to choose you need to tell them all the details of your removal. Such information like on which floor do you live, is there any elevator or not, if they will need to use stairs, so how many stair treads there are and so on is inevitable for removal company to know. So do not forget to provide them all this information if you want to move your stuff as smooth as possible.
• Insuring. Some removal companies are providing insurance for your belongings during moving. But if the company which you have chosen is not providing one make sure to insure you thing by yourself. You can never know what can happen.
• Negotiating. Majority of removal companies are flexible to their clients. Try to negotiate with them for better price. But do not forget that moving during peak times, such as on weekends or after school are more expensive and company might not be interested to negotiate with you.
• Double checking. Do not forget to check the company that you have chosen. First, ask you relatives and friends if they have heard anything about that company. Then try browsing the internet.

Also you can check The British Association of Removers or The National Guild of Removers and Storers websites for more information.

After you have implemented all these actions you are ready to move. If you have asked for packaging services then you can relax for a while, if not – start packing all your wealth.
