Moving Home Is Stressful, So You Need A Removal Company With Experience

If you are moving overseas from Lancashire, you will need to find a removals company with the necessary resources to move your complete home and belongings to wherever you are going. It can be an exciting thing to look forward to, yet there are always doubts and worries that can set in. In fact, it is said that moving home can be the most stressful thing you will ever do, and that’s just moving within the UK. When you are moving abroad you are uprooting the home of a lifetime, so the last thing you need to add to the worry is whether all your belongings will arrive in the right place at the right time and all in one piece.   

 

Let’s say you are moving to the Algarve. You will need a company that specialises in Algarve removals to Portugal if that is the part of the country to which you are going, and which is, indeed, a very popular destination. You don’t want to entrust all your worldly goods to a start-up, no matter how friendly the people might be.

Then there may be the question of storage in Lancashire. If you have sold your home and had to move out, but your new home in the Algarve is not yet ready, you need a company that can not only move your goods but store them for a few weeks until your new home is ready. It really is well worthwhile spending a little time on research rather than relying on the first company that appears on Google.

Find An Experienced Company For Removals To Spain

If you are looking for house removals to Spain, or for that matter even very small removals to Spain, you need to find a company that has years of experience of moving goods and belongings there. There are plenty of companies that do undertake Spanish removals, but not so many that have been doing it for years. After all, you want your goods to arrive at their destination in one piece, so you are far better off with a company that has a track record rather than one which only started up six months ago.

How do you know? Well, you can look at their website for a start, which should tell you a thing or two. If they have been undertaking Spain removals for years, they will doubtless mention that on their site. If the site doesn’t say anything about it, that may mean that they are newcomers in the removal business.

Can you check how long they have been in business? Well, if it is a limited company you can. You can log on to Companies House (Google it), enter the name of the company, and get quite an amount of detail about it for free. This will include the names of the directors, how long they have been directors, and other information as well, including their registered office – which may, or may not be, the same as the trading address.

Of course, you can also go on to Google and enter the name of the company followed by the word “reviews” in order to find out what other people think of them.

Moving Overseas Can Be Scary

Moving overseas can be a scary business. You may be moving to somewhere like Spain or Portugal because you want to: you have been there many times on holiday and now you have retired and want to live in the sun. Or you may be moving to Trinidad because you have to, because your company is sending you there on an extended contract.

Obviously, the latter case is more scary, especially if you have never been to Trinidad. Yes, your company may have a home ready for you, but you have to move all your belongings and you worry about whether they will arrive there undamaged after such a long trip.

This is why you need one of the specialist international shipping companies like Movers International. In fact, our name is a bit of a giveaway, isn’t it?

That’s because it is what we do. We move people internationally and we have over 30 years of experience of doing it, so there is hardly a country in the world to which we have not been. Some countries we go to every week, such as the aforementioned Spain and Portugal, and also France and Germany. Others we may go to only two or three times a year but having been in the business of removals for over 30 years, and being members of the British Association of Removers, we have all the right contacts and the knowledge of foreign customs that are needed wherever you are heading.

One of the most important things, of course, is safely and securely packing all of your belongings ready for your move. Here you will find that our friendly and efficient team knows exactly how to pack everything so that it won’t get damaged en route. We only ever use the best packaging materials. Yes, they cost a little bit more than the cheaper stuff – not a lot, just a little – but we believe that you will think it is worth it to ensure safe delivery of your possessions. After all, you may have pieces of furniture that have been handed down in your family for years, and they are irreplaceable. It’s one thing going out and buying a new TV with the insurance money, but you can’t buy an antique mahogany table to replace one that has been damaged.

So when you are moving internationally, use a company that knows how to move internationally – Movers International.
