Many removals companies will do it in addition to helping you move house. There are some items you can sell, if they are worthy but you will not need them in a new home. The key is to stay with as little unnecessary items as possible, to make the removal easier.

Pack smaller items

Before you hire a removals company, you can make sure to pack the smaller items such as books, photos, paintings and the like. Get some boxes and pack these things yourself, in order not to pay the removals company for packing costs. However, if you have some fragile items that need special care, you can leave packing of these items to the professionals. Make sure to leave unpacked the things you may need, such as personal documents, wallets and the like.
