Are house moves allowed during the pandemic

This has become – for obvious reasons – the most common question about house moves we currently get: are house moves in Edinburgh allowed during the Covid 19 Pandemic?

The short the answer is yes… for now.

Bear in mind that the regulations on house moves may change during the pandemic.

Also take into consideration that if you are moving to Edinburgh from England, the regulations on house moves are not the same in all devolved administrations – so you will need to make sure it is legal to start your house removal in both England and Scotland.

During your house move Martin Removals will make sure their staff are wearing masks. You should also know that all our staff is tested on a regular basis.

Rest assured that Martin Removals will make your Edinburgh house move as safe as it can be.

We invite everyone to get in touch with our Edinburgh office to discuss their house moves more in detail.

Children and house moves

House moves for those who have children, here are a few ideas to make to make things easier:

  • Inform them about the impending house move as soon as you can
    Allowing them time to plan and reflect will help you cope with moving with kids. Prepare yourself by encouraging them to ask questions regarding the house move, providing as positive an answer as you can. Tell them it’s a great question and you’re going to find out if you don’t already know the answers, then make sure you come back to them.
  • Inform them of the advantages of the relocation, the new opportunities they will have after your house move in a different part of  Edinburgh. Anything exciting your house move will bring? Will they be attending a new school? Are there any new activities that they can participate in?

Include the kids in the planning process: ask them for advice when purchasing new furniture, selecting paint colors and selecting soft furnishings,. Involve them in designing their own bedrooms. Allow them to explore their new Edinburgh neighborhood by researching things like nearby teams and clubs, tourist attractions and leisure centres. Help them browse the internet if they are able to do so. Making house moves more palatable to your kids goes a long way

Get in touch with Martin Removal Services for more good advice on house moves, it will be our pleasure to help.

House moves and completion day

House moves in Edinburgh can be difficult and stressful, but even more so if you are moving into a house that you just bought after selling your own house.

The day of completion marks the transfer of all funds from the buyer to the seller. That is when you can get the keys to your new house and move – if all goes according to plan.

A lender will be involved in this process if you are using a mortgage to buy a house. Additionally, the lender won’t release the funds for the transaction until they have received a Certificate of Title from your layer. This is a document that provides a detailed history of the ownership of the property and once this procedure completes people are able to start organising their house moves.

If your house move is in Edinburgh or its surrounding area, Martin Removal Services can help you making sure your house move is as easy and stress-free as possible. We have been helping people in Edinburgh with their house moves for as long as 40 years. That’s right: 40 years of house moves!

Preparing for your office move

Is your business relocating? What should you do to prepare for your office move? These are important questions and these are – in our experience – the most important things to do when preparing for your office move.

Allow enough time for your IT staff to get ready.
Notify your IT staff of the office move at least three months in advance. They have to handle phone connections, internet plans and many other issues. Inspecting the new office and determining whether any equipment upgrades are necessary may also be necessary.

Get rid of items that are superfluous.
Get rid of anything you won’t be using any more, such as obsolete cell phones, unnecessary furniture and old files. Your office move will be much simpler as a result.

Let your staff know
Inform the staff members in your office about the commercial removal well in advance. Before the office move, they may wish to wrap up some important tasks or just get ready for this change.

Please contact our Edinburgh office to discuss your commercial removal today.
