Reduce the risk of a bad moving experience
Planning a home move any time soon? The more prepared you are for a successful move, the faster you can enjoy your new home.
Part of reducing the time and stress involved in the process of moving is ensuring you hire the right local home removal specialist. Getting this wrong can be costly, painful and a complete disaster.
We list three steps to getting it right.
Finding a Home Removalist Service Specialist
-
Source a home removalist from trusted sources
Chances are you have friends, neighbours, or relatives who have relocated or moved in the last few years. It’s always a good starting point to finding a home removalist that has been tried and tested.
You can also search local trusted directories. Make sure you use one that has strong screening and vetting controls over the businesses they list.

Ask the right questions
No doubt you may speak to a few home removalists and it’s important each one is properly screened and evaluated.
This is especially important as (a) no licensing is required to be a home removalist (b) you don’t want to take a risk with your personal possessions!
So what questions to ask a home removals company? Here are a few:
- How many years have you been in business?
- How do you charge? Is it fixed or by the hour?
- Do you provide insurance cover?
- How big is your team?
- What guarantees do you provide? What happens if an item is damaged?
- Do you provide packing services?
- What locations do you service? Do you charge extra for outside areas?
- Do you have any special offers?
-
Always conduct reference checks
If you feel comfortable with the rates and process of the home removalist service provider, complete your due diligence by asking for references. Ideally, there should be other local businesses that have been using the home removalist service for a while. This could be a local real estate agent or buyer’s agent. If a business is not prepared to provide these, you may want to think twice!
