That \u2018Free<\/em><\/strong>\u2019 word got your attention, didn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

The whole moving home process is not cheap to put it mildly, so getting something for free, that will make your home moving experience easier, makes a very welcome change.<\/p>\n

Free home moving estimates, with the potential to save you money on your home moving costs, whilst eliminating the need for you to ring round endless moving companies, what\u2019s there not to like?<\/p>\n

Relax, getting a free online home moving estimate is easy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So, what\u2019s the catch?<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s not one. As the customer, you have everything to gain and nothing to lose.<\/p>\n

The estimates are free, you are under no obligation to choose any of the removal companies who quote you, and your details will not be passed onto endless other companies who will contact you.<\/p>\n

However, the estimates you receive will be just that. Estimates.<\/p>\n

It is always recommended that you also get a free in-home survey so that the removal company can give you a more accurate price for your home move.<\/p>\n

This also ensures that both you, and the removal company, are singing from the same hymn sheet.<\/p>\n

Access issues, packing and handling fragile or valuable items, and discussing any additional services that the removal company can provide, should be discussed.<\/p>\n

If the removal company does not offer in-home surveys, or the ability to do one via video or app, as some now do, be very suspicious.<\/p>\n

How can they give you an accurate price if they do not know how many flights of stairs you have, or how far from the front door to the place of loading?<\/p>\n

Things to do before your in-home survey<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A little preparation before the in-home survey will make the survey more accurate and thus save you money.<\/p>\n

Here are our top 5 tips of things to do before your in-home survey.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Declutter your home.<\/a> Get rid of any items that you will not be taking with you by selling, giving to friends and family, or donating to charity. There is no point in having a price quoted that is inflated by items that you will not be taking.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Clear the loft, or places where you have items that you are taking, but they are in hard to access places. If the surveyor can clearly see what is being taken on moving day, they can give a more accurate price.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Make sure you have thoroughly read any reviews for the moving companies that are coming to your in-home survey. Do as much research as you possibly can, and have a list of questions, if you have any, for each company.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. Make an inventory of the items you want the removal company to pack or to transport. Have duplicate copies for each surveyor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. Keep the information you give to the removal companies consistent. How can you compare prices if the number of items differ or the services requested are different?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            What\u2019s the point of getting a removal quote online, if the removal company is going to have to come to my home anyway?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

            By using a reputable provider of an online removal cost calculator, you get the immediate benefit of:<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Knowing that the companies that quote you are legitimate businesses. A reputable moving company estimation provider will have vetted the removal companies they work with.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                \n
              1. That the moving companies who respond, are local removal companies, which have the vehicles and staff available to carry out your move successfully, on the date you want.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                  \n
                1. Receiving the moving company quotes almost instantly. No waiting around for days for a company who may, or may not, bother to contact you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                    \n
                  1. Crucially, knowing that other home movers have used these removal companies and have left online reviews about the service they received.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    Which brings us to the topic of invaluable removal company reviews.<\/p>\n

                    Home Removal Company Reviews<\/strong><\/h2>\n

                    Moving company reviews are another service that the better moving cost estimators provide.<\/p>\n

                    These are essential reading to ensure you pick the right removal company for your home move.<\/p>\n

                    A reputable review provider will have sophisticated software that will ensure that the reviews on their site are written by real customers, who have first-hand experience of the removal companies who have provided you with an estimate for your home move.<\/p>\n

                    Careful consideration of the information within the reviews will provide you with invaluable information when choosing your home moving company.<\/p>\n

                    Often, the feedback of other customers will be the deciding factor, rather than the price that a removal company has quoted you, to which company you choose for your moving day.<\/p>\n
