Saving great money when moving house

House removal can be an expensive business, and there are plenty of companies who make a great living by relying on the inability of customers to search out the right deal. There are plenty of ways to save money with house removal services, and while not everyone is concerned with reducing costs with something like this, the chances are one of our tips will help you out.

Packing yourself may seem an obvious choice, but more and more removal companies are offering this service. It may seem like an easy route to moving, but you have to decide if it's worth the money, and whether you want the removal firm to unpack as well.

Boxes are another common money saving route with removals.

Renting boxes is an option offered by most removal firms, and as long as you get the full amount back upon return of the boxes, you don't pay a penny for them. Check with the removal firm what condition they need to be in for a full deposit though.

House insurance is something often overlooked with house removal services. Your items are, more than likely covered by the insurance of the removal firm. Their insurance level should be listed on the quote they offer you. If you're looking to complete a house removal yourself, perhaps by hiring a van and getting a few friends, check out your house insurance documentation, as it may include removal cover as well. There are plenty of insurance products around which do cater for house removal cover nowadays.
