Property and home specialist Ashleigh Braund says: 'We assist in all types of house moves, from a simple move between apartments within the same postcode to full inter-continental family relocation. Every move is unique, but we can ease the process through our contacts, which include reliable ‘men with vans', international removal and storage companies, and specialists in the transport of antiques, fine arts and musical instruments.
'One member was unable to get her expensive wardrobes up the stairs of her new apartment. We arranged for a specialist removal company to take out the bedroom windows and carefully winch the furniture inside the home. Other members have used us to hire consultants to coordinate the move months in advance. Our contacts will liaise with third parties such as cleaners, packers, handymen and the removal company itself to ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible.'
Insider tips:
- Double-check you've packed everything you want to take; you'd be surprised how often you look at that clock in the house you're vacating and then forget to take it down when you leave.
- Removal company insurance rarely covers small valuables such as jewellery, cash and camera equipment. You may wish to pack and transport such items yourself or store them securely off-property until the move is complete. See our moving house planner for a guide to action time frames.
