5 Businesses You Need When Moving House
Moving house is a stressful experience.
And with such an extensive task list, there will inevitable be some things you forget to do.
Whether it’s getting your post redirected, or taking out home insurance on your new investment, you want to make sure that you tick all of those important boxes.
If you’re at a loss for where to start, here are five companies you should keep in mind to help your next move go smoothly.
- Royal Mail
So much of our correspondence is now digital that it can be easy to forget to change your address for companies that still send out physical post.
Luckily Royal Mail have a handy redirect service that will buy you a little more time when it comes to notifying everyone that you’ve moved.
Depending on how organised (or disorganised) you are, you can opt for a redirect of 3, 6 or 12 months.
- Pickfords
The thought of packing up your life and moving it to a new location can be a daunting one, especially if you’ve been at your current address for a long time.
Pickfords have been perfecting the art of property removals for over 400 years. They’ll pack up your belongings and move them to you new location, wherever your postcode might be.
Take the some of the stress out moving day by hiring someone to do the heavy lifting for you.
- We Buy Any Stairlift
Whether you needed a stairlift in your previous home and want to save the new owners the trouble of removing it, or are moving into a home that has a stairlift you have no use for, setting your hallway right can be a daunting task.
If it’s undertaken by amateurs, your interiors can be left in a mess. To ensure that your home is as good as new, use an expert company like We Buy Any Stairlift. Not only will they remove the stairlift for you, but they’ll make sure that it finds a new home.
- Petlog
When you move house, it’s important to consider your four-legged friends. Your cats and dogs should be microchipped with your details and address.
As soon as you move you should change your address to ensure that should they wander, they’re returned to you safe and sound.
Check in with a company such as Petlog for microchip, pet, and moving advice, as well as registering your new details.
- Compare the Market
Home insurance is a must – you’ll probably never need it, but it’s a sensible idea to ensure you have a plan in place, just in case you do.
It can be tricky to know which company have the best deal, so with a comparison site, such as Compare the Market, you’ll be able to find the best deal on building and contents cover.
