Things to consider when choosing a mover in Singapore:

Set a Schedule

Choose a date and time when you plan to move. One of the things you should first consider is the schedule of your move. Some companies are available 24/7 while others are available during business hours only. There are also companies available on holidays. 

Handling

Make the checklist of the items that you need to move. Identify if you have special handling requirements (e.g. are they fragile, heavy or oversized) and make sure that you hire a moving company to handle such requirements. It is also best to consider if they provide boxes, tapes, protective packaging or wrapping assistance. Getting help from a professional mover in Singapore who’s trained in packaging and handling can help you avoid unfortunate events such as breakage or damage in your belongings.  

Additional Services

Moving may not only require transporting or hauling your things. You may also need additional services such as house cleaning, storage or disposal services. So, this is something that you may need to consider when choosing your movers. Some movers also provide assembly and disassembly as part of their basic moving package, so this is something you may want to confirm too. 

Financing your home needs

If you would like to take up a loan for your home needs, consider a personal loan. renovation loans do not give you the cash upfront. You can find the best personal loan suitable for you on Singsaver.
