Top Tips for Post-Removal Property Checklist

Once we’ve moved everything out of your house onto our vehicle, you’ll probably want to walk around and say a hopefully fond farewell. 

However, even at this stage, it’s important to run through a quick checklist as part of your house relocation, Christchurchor elsewhere. This one applies to owner-occupiers rather than tenants. 

1. Have you left everything behind that you should have? Remember, unless your sales contract specifically agreed it, you typically must not take anything with you that could be considered to be a ‘fixture or fitting’.

2. Have you switched off the electrical supply at source? Ditto for water and gas. If you’re asked by the new owners not to do so (e.g. leave the heating on a low level if it’s very cold) then make sure they confirm the request in writing. That’s to protect your liability interests should something go wrong between you leaving and the new owners taking possession (e.g. a leak).

3. Is your property, including the garden, reasonably clean and tidy? It’s rare but this can be an issue sometimes with property handovers, so look at things critically.

When Neighbours and Friends can help with Household Removals

If you’ve entrusted us with your packing as well as the removal, you won’t need to worry about asking friends and family to help provide ‘labour’.

We’ll take care of everything that’s ‘heavy’. In fact, truth to tell, sometimes ‘too many hands’ can become almost more of a problem than a help. So, leave all that to us and relax!

Where neighbours, friends and wider family can be of assistance is in things such as keeping your children and pets out of your hair, making tea and perhaps doing a little cleaning (if we’re not doing it for you). That’ll allow you to concentrate on what’s important, such as liaising with solicitors or property agents etc.

If you’re doing your own packing and possibly even removal, be aware of a potential problem if you’re asking friends, neighbours and even family members to assist.  That’s the perennial issue of what happens if something goes wrong? For example, how will you react if your neighbour has just dropped a box containing some of your precious and fragile antiques? Read more
