How to Obtain Quotes when Moving to Stockwell

Posted on 10/12/2013

While ‘how to obtain quotes when moving to Stockwell’ may be answered fairly easily, the harder question is ‘how to obtain the best quotes when moving to Stockwell. This is an altogether tricky question to answer, as the amount that you pay for a removals service will vary with each customer, but there are a number of things that you can do to ensure that you are getting the best possible quote from each company, and it all comes down to doing your home work efficiently.

The idea of home work as an adult will strike almost as much fear in to your heart as the words ‘moving house’ but relax, neither are as bad as you think if you tackle them head on and come to terms with the reality of the job at an early stage. A bit of planning in good time will reveal that you have little to worry about if you have enough time to sort yourself with things adequately.

Getting a good quote does not mean getting the cheapest price. Not at all. The best quote is one that gives you the best price for the best service possible. You need to know from the start what that service is for you, as otherwise you may find yourself paying for something that you do not need! Get the move sorted in your head, and make sure that you have a budget in place, so that you know what you can afford to pay for. Your budget will affect whether you even want a mover, and if you do, it will be fundamental in what you need them to do. Some movers will offer a full service of packing, moving, unpacking and storing of extra items, which is lovely if you can afford it. Most of cannot, and would not want to pay for that which we can do ourselves, so be very aware of what you need well before you even start to talk to companies, as they will often try and talk you in to buying things that you do not need.

With your plan in place, you can get to finding out who will offer you the lowest price. Ring round a few local companies and get rough quotes, usually these firms can give you a price based on the date of your move, the distance you will be traveling and the number of rooms in your house. Annoyingly of course you will not know the exact price until after you have agreed to go with them in most cases, but getting a rough estimate is fairly useful. When you have a good understanding of the variations in price that you are looking at, you can investigate the qualities of each mover on the internet. Online review sites are vital for getting a good idea as to how your mover compares to others, so be wary and do a good deal of reading up on each one. You should look for a company that gets consistently high marks, and who has little or no complaints, so that you know exactly what to expect.

With this information in mind, you can make informed decisions, based on the prices of each company as opposed to their online ratings. The rest, as they say, is up to you!

We hope this little guide helps you find the best Stockwell mover for you, and wish you all the luck in the world with your house move! Bon Voyage!
