It seems like everybody is moving to Cape Town from everywhere in South Africa. And it’s easy to see why – Cape Town offers a lifestyle everyone is after. It’s no secret that Cape Town operates at a different pace than it’s inland counterparts. People tend to be more relaxed (even when stuck in traffic) and evenings and weekends are for FUN. Think long walks on the beach, hiking trails, wine tastings or climbing Table Mountain. Where else in South Africa do you have so many choices at your disposal?
Moving to a different province is not like moving around the corner and while you might think you could handle moving to Cape Town on your own, you most probably will need help from the professionals. But don’t worry – it won’t cost you an arm and a leg and it will be well worth it!
Deciding to move to Cape Town was easy right? Deciding on a furniture removal company for your move might be a bit more challenging since you’ll be trusting a complete stranger with your personal belongings. So how exactly do you hire a moving company when moving to Cape Town? Here are some questions you need to ask before paying that deposit.
- Do they have experience?
Hiring a contractor of any kind without proven experience is never a good idea. Make sure the company you appoint have ample experience in moving people all over South Africa
- Can they offer you testimonials from happy clients?
Speak to their clients. With experience, hopefully, comes happy clients and you need to get in touch with them before you sign any contract.
- Do they supply packing materials?
While this is not a dealbreaker, having a company pack for you and supplying packing materials is a safer option since they know exactly how to pack your belongings to reduce the risk of breakage. And since they are in the moving business, chances are they’ll get better prices on packing materials than you as the consumer would ever dream to.
- Do they offer storage facilities?
Moving from one province to another comes with a lot of variables and things can change quickly. What do you do if your new home isn’t ready but your moving truck arrived? Make sure your moving company offers storage facilities should plans change.
- What about insurance?
Never ever opt for a contractor who doesn’t offer insurance. Anything can happen and if it does you’ll be left with nothing.
