Why you should consider a local removals service when moving short distances
Moving homes can be a stressful and difficult experience, although it may seem less so if you are not moving a long distance. Even for a local move, however, a removals service may be a better option to help things go smoothly. Here are some advantages.
Less stress
A local removals service offers the same advantages as a long-distance move — there will still be the same amount of packing and unpacking to be done, and your possessions will still need transporting somehow. A local removals service will have the professional know-how to keep your valuable items safe — and will have the necessary insurance in case anything does go wrong. They can also arrange for storage of items if you can't move in immediately, and the cleaning of your old home. All these issues are just as important in a local move as with a longer move.
A greener solution
Although you may be tempted to move your possessions yourself over the short distance, you should think carefully about how many journeys this is likely to take. Your car, or maybe even your van, will probably not have enough room to hold all your belongings (and some larger items of furniture may not go in at all). This means you will probably be making many trips to get moved and burning a lot of fuel — a waste of your money as well as a bigger burden on the environment. A local removals service will be able to transport everything in fewer journeys — possibly even a single trip. This will lessen your carbon footprint as well as save you money.
More time
Similarly, your numerous trips between the two addresses will be quite time-consuming. There are a lot of things that need doing when you move, and the more of them you can give to other people, the more time you will have to devote to your family and to enjoy settling in the new house. That short hop between the two locations will soon seem a lot longer as the clock ticks down to the deadline, and you are loading the car for the umpteenth time. A removals service will turn your move into a leisurely and enjoyable experience.
Even for short distances, a local removals company can take the pressure off yourself, and the environment, making the move more pleasant for you and your family.
