Relocation of your valuable belongings like antiques and other precious items requires a lot of planning. Making a proper decision for its transportation is important to ensure its safety. Whether it’s your family heirlooms, antiques, fine art and collectables, you need to pay attention from its packaging to careful moving. Slight negligence can damage your valuable items. Fortunately, with several removal companies in Hertfordshire, you can book a service to facilitate moving such items.
Things You Should Remember When Moving Antiques and Collectibles
Hire a Professional Removal Company
You may think hiring professionals for this job is expensive, but it’s worth it. With extensive experience performing this job, they ensure proper packaging of your items and take extra precautions while handling precious stuff. This keeps your items safe and secure while transporting. We at Parish Removals also provide containerised storage facilities to load your goods which are sealed till they reach their destination safely.
Make a List of Your Valuable Items
Start by sorting out your stuff and make a list of all your precious belongings, antiques and others you will want to move with you. This list will make the job easier for you to keep track of your items during moving. You must sort your items on which items you want to take to your new house personally and which things you prefer to send through the van. Here are certain items that we suggest you must better off taking yourself:
- Money
- Jewellery
- Essential documents like medical history records, bank books and documents, land titles, tax forms, stock certificates, and other paperwork. You can also take pictures of all the items for documentation.
Get Your Antiques and Collectibles Appraised
Ensuring that your items are appraised would also be beneficial for you. Having a documented value of your items not just gets you a documented verification regarding your items’ condition but also gives you an accurate valuation of your items which you may use for insurance. If you are doubtful about where to get your items appraised, you can search for an antique furniture store, professional antique assessors, auction houses, and your insurance company as well.
Protect Your Items By Insurance
It is best to make sure that your goods are covered by insurance. You can also get removals insurance for the big move apart from the usual antiques and collectable insurance. For the unversed, a removals insurance policy focuses entirely on protecting your items during each step of the moving process, including packing, transportation and storage. We also recommend not assuming what your insurance plan covers. Ask the insurance provider about the things it covers and clear your doubts about your protection plan.
