Having to pack all your things up is one of the most tiring things you can do and is definitely enough to whip the smile off anyone’s face. The process of finding a new home can quite exhilarating seeing various properties knowing you could see next the property of your dreams. Once you do find your property the fun is short lived when you realise the hassle that is moving home!          

Moving home is of things in life I really do hate. Although this time it was the opposite because I knew I didn’t have to find a home removals or office removals company or track my friend down who owns a van all because I bought a house next door! Now I know when you first hear this it does sound quite a strange idea however think how easy it will be to actually move? I know we will still have to pack our things however I won’t have the stress of hiring a removals company all we need to do is walk our things through the gardens.

Unfortunately not everyone will be able to find their ideal property next door so do your research when looking for moving companies, especially London removals. User recommendations are great ways to find great removal companies however this not always feasible so use your instinct. It’s a competitive industry so ring as many companies as you can to find the not necessarily the cheapest but the best value for money service. Don’t make the mistake and leave hiring your removal company to the last minute, plan it at least two or three weeks before. Do get at least three quotes from companies before deciding and try to select a removal company that is a member of the respected British Association of Removers (BAR).

If you are thinking about selling a home, you must have a Conveyancing Solicitor or Licensed Conveyancer to represent you – but only if you reside in England or Wales.

These are our 10 best tips to be certain you get the ideal Conveyancing Solicitor or Licensed Conveyancer

• Make certain they are qualified and of course licensed by the appropriate body. In the UK this is the Solicitors Regulation Authority for Solicitors and the Council for Licensed Conveyancers for Conveyancing Lawyers or Conveyancers. See also if the work is actually carried out by licensed conveyancers – or if it’s actually passed out to unlicensed staff or even an off-shore conveyancing factory.
• A local solicitor will typically be more expensive so we would not suggest that you use them – so use a England-wide supplier but do make sure they have a good track record in your area. For example, if you are looking for Property Conveyancing Solicitor in Birmingham then make sure that they have a good record of success in the area.
• Check that they offer a Free or at least discounted Home Information Pack. This can save you £100s on your total bill for moving home.
• Avoid brokers and web only providers. There are dozens of one man bands out there who have set up web based brokers for conveyancers. They will be charging enormous referral fees – in the range £175 to £550 – to the Conveyancers which you will ultimately pay for – either directly, in your pocket – or they will be outsourcing the work to a low cost foreign Conveyancing factory with all of the communications and data security issues that that may eventually result in.
• Make certain that they provide conveyancing quotes online. Any trustworthy Conveyancing Solicitor or Property Conveyancing Lawyer will give online quotes easily and quickly. This will mean that they have standard pricing and are not going to do the old school trick of charging you as long as it takes them!
• Make sure they don’t subcontract overseas. There are a couple of large providers who outsource all of the detailed conveyancing work overseas. This means that you can rarely contact a real conveyancer who is supposed to be handling your house sale matter. It also means that your private data is possibly being shared across international boundaries.
• Carefully read their terms and conditions for extras and disbursements. All conveyancers will reserve the option of charging for disbursements or extras that they have to pay out. Read the terms and conditions carefully and make sure that you understand these clauses in their entirity.
• Be certain that they have real UK based offices. This will help in finding out the web only brokers who will always add on a big finders fee. Also Be certain that they have proper UK based offices that you can actually visit just in case – ideally several around the country.
• Ensure that you can contact your conveyancer direct. This is very important indeed because Conveyancing is never starightforward and you will need to be able to talk one-to-one with your assigned Conveyancer. Often at any hour of the day or night. See also that you can get a name and a direct number so that when the exchange is imminent you can get in contact with them quickly and not via some call-centre or online case tracking platform that is really designed to keep you apart from the Lawyer!
• Don’t be seduced by self-styled Online case tracking. Often it’s a gimic but really it is designed by stack em high cheap outsourcers so that you can’t call the unqualified staff actually dealing with your files and personal data.

If you follow these best 10 tips we’re certain that you will select the right Conveyancing Solicitor or Licensed Conveyancer for your house sale. Read more about Conveyancing.

Moving tips

So how to you move your house? Labeling, lifting, rolling can drain all your energy away and tempers.

Here are a couple of advice you should take note:

1. Make a list: Don’t do everything at once, plan ahead. Look for your comfy chair, take a piece of paper and write down what you need to do. Number the tasks in the order of importance. When your list is done, create some duplicates and hang it at a place where you can see it.

2. Leave the clutter out: It often happens that when you are packing, you come across all sorts of things and collections and memories which are no longer required but have an emotional value. Take note, do not be embroiled into such things. Hold on to your emotions and only pack what is wanted.

3. Classify all items: All items should be classified in terms of their rooms. If the item is found in the kitchen, pack them in the kitchen box. Always clean your items before they enter the box

4. Be calm: Take note you are only human and mistakes happen. We may forget to bring a couple of items. Whatever happens, be cool.
