Moving house can be stressful, and one of the main stress points concerns how much moving house actually costs. According to a recent Buzzmove study, 3 out of 5 people say that moving home was either more expensive or a lot more expensive than anticipated.

This is not surprising, moving house is expensive, but there are things you can do to keep down the costs of your move. For a start you should always book your move with an insured removal company you can trust to make sure you don’t get cheated on the price or end up with broken things that the removal company are not insured for.  Be careful not to fall for tempting false economies. The study we conducted with 2000 people who recently moved in the UK also reveals that a third (33%) of Brits NEVER check the insurance policy their removal company has. This is a big issue and it’s something that needs to change in order to get movers the best prices on their move.

This is also one of the reasons to why buzzmove was founded, after our CEO Becky Downing had a terrible move a couple of years ago. She didn’t know much about the company she was using, but what she did find out after the move was that they were not insured and consequently didn’t replace the television they dropped on the ground by mistake. This experience led her to wanting to start a company that would prevent these things from happening, and that would put the customer back in control of their move and allowing them price trasperancy by comparing quotes from trusted and insured removal companies only. And this is what started buzzmove.

Another point on why it’s important to book your move with a trusted and insured removal company to ensure you keep the costs down, is also because you are guaranteed that your initial quote is the price you pay in the end. Some removal companies give you an initial quote and then when they come around to see how much you have to move, they increase the price and at this point it’s too much of a hassle to research and find a new company so many stick to the company they have, even though they are not happy with the higher price. Therefore it’s not shocking that 3 out of 5 say that moving house was either more expensive or a lot more expensive than anticipated. However, if you book your removal company through us at buzzmove, we guarantee you that the price we give you is the price you pay in the end, no hidden fees or additional prices.

So take control of your move today, and get the right price for your move with an insured removal company at buzzmove.
