When moving house it can be difficult to compare quotes between moving companies to get a like-for-like comparison. It’s important to make sure moving companies are quoting for the same volume of goods, are carrying the move out over an equal number of days and also the same days.

We always suggest checking whether there are additional costs for dismantling or assembling furniture and whether there will be any charges for parking at your house. At A1 Removals York we ensure there are ‘no hidden extras’ with our quotes and our prices are totally transparent for our clients.

The quality of service provided by moving companies varies greatly and choosing the cheapest option with removals is never recommended. Consideration should be given to the overall quality of the relocation service because although choosing the cheapest option could save you money in the short term, there could be some nasty surprises during the move or when the final invoice arrives.

The price of a house removal will depend on a variety of factors. The greater the number of bedrooms in your house the more your house move is likely to cost.

The distance between the old properly and the new one will also be a factor as will the inclusion of any additional services.

When you book your move you will have the option to select additional extras of which insurance is one. We always recommend that our clients take the optional insurance for added peace of mind.

Whilst our team will take maximum care of your belongings while in transit, accidents can happen so having your move fully insured will guarantee that any issues can be resolved quickly and efficiently.
