The Benefits Of A Professional House Mover.
September is traditionally the time when the Edinburgh property market picks up after the summer break, but how many people dread moving house because of the potential upheaval involved?
For many this may be a good time to employ a professional advisor. A relocation consultant brings not only expert advice and knowledge, but also both time and cost savings to the process of moving home.
The Stress Involved In Moving House
When do people sell? Reasons for relocation may include a change of job, up or downsizing because of a growing family, failing health or bereavement. Because of this there may unavoidably be something else going on in peoples’ lives, to add to the stress of the move.
Problems Encountered On Moving Day
A recent survey* suggested the top ten problems with moving home included issues with removals companies, delays on changeover day and mess and junk being left in the new house by previous owners. The final straw, perhaps, after a move which may have included sourcing and organising packers, decluttering and removing unwanted belongings and even organising curtains and decor for the new house.
Preparing To Move To A New House
Preparation for a move may also include researching a new area for doctors, schools and other service providers. Which** suggests that up to 30 organisations may also need to be contacted about your house move, from the DVLA to your banks and pension providers – as well as, of course, all your utilities companies and personal contacts.
Where Do You Begin?
This can be daunting at the best of times, and overwhelming for those who unfamiliar with the process. That’s where The Next Chapter Moving services can come in.
