When moving to a new home, you could be in a dilemma of whether to conduct a self-move or engage the services of a residential removalist. Below is an excerpt comparing these removals options. Hopefully, it ensures that you make an informed decision as you move your home. 

DIY Home Removals

DIY home removals are ideal for people that would want absolute control when moving their homes. For example, it could be that you want your things packed in a certain way. This approach is also ideal for people that are not in a rush to move. However, it has numerous shortcomings. For instance, since you are inexperienced in packing fragile items, they could break during loading or transport. Without removals equipment such as furniture dollies and trollies, you could injure your back and other body parts. 

The best way to go about a DIY removal is hiring specialised removals equipment from a removalist. For instance, you could rent sofa covers, removal blankets, plastic boxes, reinforced wardrobes and lifting straps. You could also hire a removals van that is modified to reduce breaks as you move. It is a sure way to protect your items as you move.
