Purchasing an overseas property is an exciting prospect and something that should be a stress-free experience from start to finish, including shipping your belongings abroad.
Take a look at some pointers you should be aware of when you are preparing belongings for your overseas move! Take a look at the companies we work with here.
1) Plan out which items you wish to take six months in advance and research how much it would cost to replace the items that you have chosen not to take. But do your research, as many household items can be more expensive overseas.
2) If you are sending household and personal effects overseas, this is the time to start organising and clearing out the things you have chosen not to take with you.
3) An important step is selecting an international mover who has independent quality assurances, you can also ask if the company you choose is a member of the FIDI Global alliance, British Association of Removers Overseas Group, and BAR OVERSEAS, which is covered by the I.M.M.I. Advance payment guarantee scheme for your financial protection.
4) The cost for your international removal will depend on the quantity of household and personal items you wish to ship. Most reputable international removal companies will offer a free, no-obligation home survey to offer advice regarding the types of items and associated cost.
5) Plan your travel dates and packing dates with your removal company at least two months in advance.
6) Make sure that all necessary documentation has been completed and returned to your chosen removal company at least one week before moving.
7) The day before the removal, make sure that any travel documents and bags are clearly separated from your shipping items.
8) On removal day, try to relax and let your removal crew take care of your possessions while you look forward to your new life abroad. The hard work is over!
