HOMEMOVERS - MOVING HOME INVENTORY

An online home inventory is an ideal way to make moving home easier – helping you to get the right amount of insurance and making it easier to know where to find things once you get to your new home.

Moving home can be a stressful time. There is so much to think about – not least the task of moving all your possessions from one property to another. However you do this – whether you appoint a professional removal company or do it yourself – there is the potential of damage to property. There are two things you can do to help minimise the impact of this:

1. Alert your home insurance provider in advance of your move to make sure you will be insured in the new property as soon as you arrive.
   
   Make sure your home insurance actually covers you for the removal of your possession during a house move as some insurance companies have an exclusion clause or they may cover you on condition that you use a professional firm.
   
   Many removal firms will offer you insurance, but the cost is worked into the fee so it is worth checking if your own policy covers you instead. 
   
   
2. Document what is being moved and the condition it is in.

This is where an online home removal inventory comes in. You can clearly note the value and condition of all your possessions, confirming with a photo if required, so if any damage does occur you can easily prove how they were when they left your home.

You can even use the description field to note where you pack the item (i.e. in box number 5) to help you find items once you have moved. A headache less to deal with.
