Moving a house or office is an important decision and should not be taken lightly. Recently I experienced the relocation of my house from London to Manchester. I took this decision to cut down the expensive living cost in London and choose the Manchester as alternative. So firstly I set up an appointment with a relocation counselor for my in-house estimate and to find out an adequate place in Manchester and then asked one of my friend for some helpful advice about removal services in Manchester. He suggested me to use internet to find out a number of UK removal companies, but he asked me to consider some points before hiring any removal company such as origin address where removers will pack and load my belongings, destination address where removers will unload my belongings, volume or weight of my stuff, types of transportation and terms and conditions regarding insurance damage, prices & payment plans.
After making proper estimation of these aspects, I started my search to get online quotes from Manchester removals companies. During my search I came across many removal companies some of them were offering the unloading of cargo directly to the destination however, some were offering the unloading to some warehouse from where I need to pick them up myself. I decided to hire the one which could unload my belongings directly to my new office, not implying an additional cost to me. So I got online quotes from three removal companies with this service to choose the most reliable and affordable one.
Finally I decided to hire the services of theremoval.com with an easy payment plan and wide removal experience. I took their contact number from the website and made them a call for hiring their services. They offered me a meeting with their representative for having a negotiation upon the terms and conditions of the move.
First of all they asked me to make a "declaration of value". The declaration of value is an important document that sets the compensation amount one can receive in case of loss or damage of his belongings. The removal.com provided with the certificate of insurance coverage for my belongings up to the value which I indicate in my declaration of value. Therefore it is necessary for you to complete the declaration value of yourself to state the overall value of your belongings.
After the completion of this initial documentation the fully equipped team of theremoval.com visited my house to start the packing of my belongings. They used excellent packing material and techniques to wrap up my precious items which I never experienced before. Then I signed a "waybill" with them before loading of my luggage. The waybill is a document that specifies the terms and conditions of the contract, the mode of transportation, the volume or weight carried by the removal company, the name and address of both the customer and the removal company. By signing the waybill, you definitely agree to these terms and conditions and give permission to the removal company to go ahead!
After that they loaded the goods into the van with an expert driver and took them to my new house safe and secure. They also provided me with the unloading service and asked me to sign the way bill for safe delivery of goods. A good tip to keep in mind is to book a Manchester Removals firm well in advance, most of removals vans will need parking licenses so you will need to apply for one of these well in advance, especially if you are living in an area where parking is limited.
After experiencing this move I learnt that moving from one place is not an easy task it requires proper apparatus that average person isn't pre-loaded with. As a result hiring the professionalized facilities of a removal company is best to have the situation go along smoothly. If you hire the right company I believe that you will definitely experience a great stress free move.
