How to arrange removals?

Hi
Never used removals company before. Should we find one before completion date arranged or will know one quote without a fixed completion date? Thanks

Call up a couple and discuss, they'll quote usually but won't book until you've got dates. Our movers gave us a discount for not doing a Friday move (we had the luxury/problem whichever way you look at it of not selling both houses at the same time so being able to move the house contents to our schedule).

Don't exchange before knowing you can get a removal that date else you'll be stuck!!!

Ring around and get quotes/ confirmation they have the dates you want. They usually pack and load one day and then unload the day you get the keys. Best to ring a few and get them to explain it all to you as each company is different

Call at least 3 to book in quotes. Look on a local fb group for recommendations. You can compare quotes and ask your preferred company to price match if one of their competitors comes in lower.

If you can afford it, definitely consider asking the movers to pack for you. It's a game changer when moving.
