What is a Home Survey?

A home survey is a service that is increasingly popular amongst individuals and families when they are looking to relocate. This survey is intended to provide an assessment of the contents that will need to be moved to a new property, along with any related advice that is specific to the particular needs of the moving family.

A typical home survey will involve a visit to the property in question, often as part of an initial consultation. Here, the removals company will be able to see the premises and assess its layout, along with any additional furniture or other items that may be of interest to them. This is a crucial stage of the process, as it allows the removals service to safely and efficiently plan their approach to the move and ensure that all items of interest are accounted for.

Once the initial visit has been made, the company will then return to take a more detailed survey of the property. This typically entails taking an inventory of the items to be moved and noting their shape, size, and weight. This allows the company to provide the most accurate quotes and advice, as they are aware of the exact items that need to be moved.

Crucially, the survey also helps to ensure the safety of both the customer and the items being relocated. The removals company can note any potential hazards or obstacles, such as awkward staircases or heavy items, and make plans to deal with them in the best possible manner.
