removal companies<\/a> registered on their website and found the three key factors that will affect the price are:<\/p>\n1.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Distance \u2013 the rising cost of fuel means removers will carefully calculate the distance their van will be travelling, especially when a typical removals lorry does 10 miles to the gallon. And don\u2019t forget, not only is the petrol price counted, but also hidden costs such as wear and tear on the vehicle and fixed expenses including insurance will all be taken into account.<\/p>\n
2.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Time \u2013 removers will work out how much time it\u2019ll take them to load everything from your house, drive to the new address and unload at the other end. Often this can take two working days, one for loading and one for unloading.<\/p>\n
3.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Volume \u2013 it may sound obvious, but the amount of household items you\u2019re planning to move will influence the expenditure on removals. This means lots of furniture or bulky items will take up more space than lots of cartons and boxes. It is not purely on weight.<\/p>\n
When asked what helpful hints and tips removals firms would give to people moving, the most popular response was to make sure you are accurate with your estimations on how many household items you want to move. This way, the quotes from the removals companies will be as precise as possible and you won\u2019t end up with a removals van that\u2019s too large or too small for the job.<\/p>\n
In response to their top tip for saving money on removals, the overwhelming consensus was to move house on a weekday, rather than a weekend when everyone wants to book removals.<\/p>\n
