A pre-move survey is when the moving company assesses your goods before quoting. It is the single most important step in getting an accurate, fixed price - and avoiding the inflated 'final bill' surprises that come from vague phone estimates.
What happens during a survey
- The surveyor notes your furniture, appliances and approximate number of boxes.
- They check floor level, lift access and parking at both ends.
- They identify fragile, heavy or special items needing extra care.
- They discuss packing needs, insurance and your preferred date.
In-person or video
Surveys can be done at home or over a video call. Video surveys are quick and convenient and work well for most moves.
Why it gives a better price
An accurate item count means the right vehicle and crew - so you are neither overcharged nor hit with extra charges later. The result is a fixed, written quotation.
How to prepare
Declutter first, open cupboards and storage so nothing is missed, and mention anything you plan to leave behind or add.
