Make a Research Before Moving Abroad

Posted on 18/08/2014

When you’re having to deal with a house move, then you’ll know how difficult things can be. Throw an overseas relocation into the mix and you’ll find that things get even more difficult. It is all part of the process however, and with the right homework, you should be able to find that things become a fair bit easier, especially as you learn things about the processes involved in getting everything abroad, and perhaps try to find a removals company who are geared up towards helping you in such a move. If you do some research before moving abroad, you will likely find that there is a lot that you can work out for yourself, rather than just relying on the company, though it would be madness to try and get away with doing the whole thing yourself, as we’ll explain below.

So, you’re well up for doing a bit of looking around and working out for yourself how to go about the move. There are many things that you will need to get sorted, so we’ll give you some initial pointers to get started, but first of all, you should make sure that you start as early as possible. This is so that you can be completely sure that there is nothing that you will have not covered by the time the move comes around. You may think it a little premature to start planning the move a couple of months before it is set to happen, but early planning can do you no harm, as long as you time everything correctly, and don’t rush into anything.

Initial pointers; you need to find a decent removals company. Search for firms who specialize in shipping things abroad, and you can then have a decent conversation with them about how you want your things to be transported, and the safest, cheapest or fastest ways in which that can be. If I’m honest with you, I have no idea as to whether air, land or sea freight is best for your sofa, and I doubt that it is as simple as just looking it up on google, as varying costs and shipping speeds will come into play, depending on weight restricting and the like, so you need to be very careful. This is a major reason that you should not try to do things on your own, as you may well make a mistake, and not realize until it is too late! If this happens, then you will probably be shelling out a fair bit in order to sort things out, and if you don’t speak the language of the new country, then you may well be in some serious trouble! Who wants all that stress when you may well end up spending just as much as you would to get a company to do it all for you, stress free!

You should research clever packing techniques for the transport that you decide on, to make sure that your belongings are protected at every step of the way. A relocation company should be able to give you some good advice on shipping companies who have careful staff, so that your items will not be tossed about or broken by careless handlers.

There is a lot to think about when it comes down to the specifics of moving abroad, but if you have a good head start on everything, and a decent removals company at your side, who specialize in moving abroad, then you can’t go too far wrong!

Cost isn't an issue for me when it comes to searching for movers, since most of the cheaper ones end up cutting corners somewhere else, but with London Removals, I paid a reasonable rate for quality work.

The movers at MovingCompanyLondon did an amazing job removing my antique piano and display unit from a first floor flat which involved going up a lot of steps. They took away all my worries and I'm extremely grateful.

It's not easy knowing how to go about these kinds of things, as you never really know that much about moving house until you have done it a few times yourself. That's probably why removals teams are so good at what they do, through experience and...
