❓HOUSE MOVING – QUESTIONS & ANSWERS?

If you are looking for house moving services in Almería, instead of using the same standard advertising slogans you see everywhere, we would like to answer some of the important questions that come up for most people planning a move.

How much might a move cost?
What information do you need to get an accurate quote?
Is professional packing worth it?
How can you avoid unexpected costs and unnecessary stress?
What should you prepare before moving day?

Below, we try to answer these and other questions in a simple and practical way, so you know what to expect before your move.

❓ WHAT INFORMATION DO YOU NEED TO PREPARE A QUOTE?

Our answer:

First of all, we need the pickup address and delivery address, together with an approximate idea of how much needs to be moved.

To help us prepare a more accurate quote, please provide:

• 🏠 The number of rooms at the pickup property.
• 📸 Photos or a short video of each room. We can use these to estimate the approximate volume ourselves.
• 📦 Information about any heavy, very large or unusual items.
• 🏢 The floor and whether there is a lift.
• 🚚 Information about parking and access at both pickup and delivery addresses.
• 📅 Your preferred moving date or dates.
• 👨‍🔧 Whether you need a van with driver and transport equipment only, or whether you want us to carry out the work without your assistance.
• ℹ️ Any other information that could affect the time needed for loading, transport or unloading.

You do not need to know how many cubic metres you have.

If you are not sure, simply send us some photos or a short video and we will assess it for you.

The more information we have before the move, the more accurately we can plan the service and prepare the quote.

🛡️ DOES THE MOVING COMPANY PROTECT THE FURNITURE DURING TRANSPORT?

Our answer:

At EasyMovingES, we normally provide basic protection for larger items during transport. We use transport blankets, straps and suitable equipment to help protect the load.

However, it is always worth asking the moving company exactly what furniture protection is included and whether it is included in the quoted price.

Clear agreement about these details before the move helps to avoid misunderstandings, unexpected costs and unnecessary stress on moving day.

❓ HOW MUCH DO HOUSE MOVING SERVICES IN ALMERÍA COST?

There is no single price for a house move, but we know that having an idea of the possible cost is important when planning your budget.

The prices below are standard guide prices for typical-sized homes, based on our Man & Van service or a 2-man moving team.

Please use them as an approximate guide for planning your budget rather than a fixed price. Your actual price may be lower or higher depending on the volume of your belongings, distance, access, floors, parking, heavy or oversized items and the amount of work required.

All guide prices include travel within approximately 50 km from our base in Cantoria.

For 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom moves, the guide prices are based on one van with up to 23 m³ of loading capacity and a maximum payload of 1,100 kg.

If you are not sure which option or size applies to your move, simply send us some photos or a short video and we will help you work it out.

Los precios orientativos indicados anteriormente no incluyen servicios ni requisitos adicionales como embalaje, transporte de objetos por escaleras, reserva de plazas de aparcamiento, equipos de elevación externos u otros arreglos especiales que puedan ser necesarios para su mudanza.

Una información y unas condiciones claras desde el principio ayudan a evitar malentendidos, costes inesperados y estrés innecesario el día de la mudanza.

❓ HOW MUCH DOES PROFESSIONAL PACKING COST AND WHAT DOES IT INCLUDE?

Our answer:

Para ayudarte a planificar tu presupuesto de mudanza, aquí tienes algunos precios aproximados de embalaje. Estos precios son solo orientativos y pueden variar según el tamaño, el tipo y la cantidad de artículos.

Caja de mudanza estándar: aproximadamente 10-15 €/box

Protección especial o cajas de madera a medida: precio a consultar.

Estos precios son solo una guía para la planificación del presupuesto. El coste final del embalaje depende de los artículos a embalar, los materiales necesarios y el trabajo que conlleva.

Si nos envías fotos o un vídeo corto de los artículos, podremos evaluar qué materiales de protección y embalaje se necesitan y proporcionarte un precio más preciso.

Professional packing is more than simply putting your belongings into boxes. Our packing service includes professional packing materials and the complete packing service, carried out using appropriate methods for the type of items being packed.

When you choose our professional packing service, the packing is carried out by our team and becomes part of the service we are responsible for. This is an important difference compared with situations where the customer packs everything themselves.

Where the agreed insurance cover applies, professionally packed items are covered according to the full insurance terms of the service, rather than only the standard transport cover. This means that there is no question of the customer being responsible for whether an item was packed correctly when the packing was carried out by our team.

📦 What can we pack?

We can provide suitable materials and packing for furniture, household items, personal belongings and fragile items.

For TVs, mirrors, pictures and other delicate or unusual items, we have special boxes and protective materials. Where necessary, we can also arrange or manufacture custom wooden crates for additional protection.

🪟 What about glass items?

Glass and particularly fragile items may be subject to specific insurance exclusions or conditions, depending on the insurance policy. This is why we always recommend discussing such items with us before the move and making sure they are packed using the appropriate protection.

Our aim is simple: when you pay for a professional packing service, you should know exactly what is included, who is responsible for the packing and what insurance protection applies.

❓ HOW CAN HOUSE MOVING SERVICES IN ALMERÍA HELP AVOID EXTRA CHARGES AND UNNECESSARY STRESS?

Our answer:

The easiest way is to make sure that all important details are discussed before the move is booked.

Tell the moving company about anything that could affect the work, such as:

• stairs or difficult access,
• no lift or a small lift,
• parking restrictions,
• long distances between the property and the vehicle,
• heavy or oversized items,
• furniture that needs dismantling,
• items that require special protection,
• packing requirements,
• or anything else that may increase the time needed for loading or unloading.

If you are unsure whether something is important, just ask. It is much easier to clarify something before the move than to deal with an unexpected problem on moving day.

Photos and short videos can also be very useful, especially when access or the size of furniture is difficult to describe.

A clear agreement before the move helps both sides understand what is included, what is not included and what the final service is expected to involve.

That makes the moving day much easier and helps avoid misunderstandings, unexpected costs and unnecessary stress.

❓ WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE ARE STAIRS, NO LIFT OR DIFFICULT ACCESS?

Our answer:

Access to the property can make a big difference to the time and work required for a move, so it is important to tell us about it before the move.

Please let us know if:

• 🏢 The property is on an upper floor.
• 🛗 There is no lift or the lift is too small for the furniture.
• 🪜 Furniture needs to be carried up or down stairs.
• 🚶 There is a long distance between the property and where the van can park.
• 🚚 The van cannot park close to the entrance.
• 📦 There are large or heavy items that may require additional handling.
• 🏠 Access is narrow or difficult for larger furniture

If access is difficult, photos or a short video are very helpful. They allow us to understand the situation before the moving day and plan the right equipment and number of people if necessary.

In some situations, an external furniture lift may be the safest and most efficient solution. If one is required, we can discuss this with you and arrange it as an additional service.

The important thing is to tell us about any access difficulties before the move. This allows us to plan the job properly and helps avoid unexpected costs, delays and unnecessary stress on moving day.

❓ WHAT SHOULD I PREPARE BEFORE MOVING DAY?

Our answer:

A little preparation before moving day can make the whole process much easier.

Before we arrive, we recommend:

• 📦 Have your personal belongings packed unless you have booked our packing service.
• 🧹 Make sure access to furniture and boxes is clear.
• 🚪 Remove any obstacles from hallways, entrances and stairways.
• 🅿️ Make sure there is suitable parking or access for the van where possible.
• 🔑 Make sure we can access both the pickup and delivery properties at the agreed time.
• 📋 Let us know in advance about any changes to the items being moved or the access conditions.
• 📸 If anything has changed since the quote was prepared, send us some photos or a short video.

Most importantly, make sure that all the details agreed with the moving company are clear before moving day.

A little preparation and good communication can save time, avoid misunderstandings and make the moving day much less stressful for everyone.
