Verify the business before booking
Confirm the mover is licensed, carries cargo-liability insurance, uses written standard terms, and identifies any subcontractor. Treat anonymous reviews and unusually low prices cautiously.
Moving & Move-in
Choose the right service, lock down the quote, document the handover, and finish the administrative tasks that protect your new address.
Plan a safer move
Practical details that prevent disputesGet an on-site written estimate
Compare three to five companies on the same scope. Record the volume, floors, elevators, lift truck, walking distance, parking, dismantling, appliances, disposal, packing, staffing, VAT, and every possible surcharge.
Know what the crew will pack
A transport-only move leaves packing to you. A partial-packing move splits responsibility. A full-service move normally includes packing, transport, unpacking, and basic reassembly—define the exact boundary in writing.
Photograph, inspect, and sign
Photograph both homes and valuable items before work starts. Record damage immediately, keep the team leader's details, inspect before final payment, and retain the contract, estimate, receipt, and handover record.
Check storage and double-handling risks
If closing dates do not align, compare container and warehouse storage, daily charges, climate and security controls, insurance during storage, inventory procedures, and the cost of loading twice.
Update your address and utilities
File move-in registration promptly, obtain a fixed-date stamp for a lease when applicable, redirect mail, transfer or close electricity and gas accounts, record meters, notify building management, and update banks and insurers.
