Don’t Take a Chance: check with the Moving Company who is in your Home

How on earth do you choose a suitable moving company and know that the choice you have made is the best one for your circumstances? There is so much choice out there, especially when it comes to London removals. You want a firm that is going to support your decisions but also one that is reliable, professional and efficient with friendly and courteous operatives. You certainly don’t want to become involved with a moving company that is going to load up the van and disappear around the first roundabout with all your treasured possessions still in transit. Even if you are insured for loss on your house insurance, no amount of compensation is going to make up for the loss of all those intrinsic possessions that can only be valued in terms of sentimentality.

Choosing a Moving Company
First and foremost, when attempting to choose a suitable removals company, ask amongst friends and family: word of mouth recommendation is still far better than any other form of advertising. Somebody whom you know, or who knows somebody else, is bound to be able to recommend an appropriately professional company that will be exactly what you are looking for. Other places to look for a suitable moving company is an Estate Agent or a Rental Agency, either of whom are bound to have come across local London removals at some point. Once you have established that there is a local moving company that you would like to be responsible for your house move you need to book in good time.

The best removals companies are often booked up in advance, so the earlier you place a definite booking the more likely you are to get the London removals company and the moving team that you want. Not only that, but the earlier you book the more chance you have of being offered special rates, promotional discounts, or other incentives. After all, no matter how good a removal firm is, they still have to maintain their client base. Another point here, no matter how good the company is, or appears to be, you must still ask for suitable references. I would always ask to see their portfolio. This should consist of pictures of their vans, certificates, recommendations from past customers, perhaps even the company vision. Inside their portfolio you should also find a copy of their insurance documents and their terms and conditions.

Another thing to find out, before moving day, is who the moving team is who will be calling at your property to move your belongings. In this day and age it is essential for you to know exactly whom you are dealing with. That way, at least, when they do arrive at your house you can ask to see their identification and references and check those with the information that the company have given you. This will provide you with relief and enable you to go ahead with your planned house move knowing that the operatives in your house are not out to fleece you and that your belongings will arrive at your new property around the time that you do.
