introduction 

Dear valued customer,

Can I move house during the Coronavirus pandemic?

Yes. The government has made it clear that people who wish to move home can continue to do so in all tiers, including during the national restrictions starting on the 5th of January 2021. This needs to be done safely and the process may be different to usual.

Bournes Moves is a British Association of Removers (BAR) registered member. This means services have been pre-vetted and inspected to reduce the risk of anything going wrong during your house move.

Building your dream house but have nowhere to store all your stuff during the process?

Using a removal company for storage during renovations or a house build is a great way to keep everything safe.

There are two main areas you'll be concerned about when viewing a house. 

1. Do you like it?
2. Is it a good house?

The first has the potential to make a great impact on the way you live your life, the second could be the difference between getting a great property for your money and being bitten by unexpected costs after you move in. Whilst many of these things would be picked up during a home buyers survey spotting them early may save you time and money.
