Moving home in the UK
Whatever the reason for your move, moving day itself can be the end of a long – sometimes difficult – process. Fund transfers can be delayed especially when there’s a property ‘chain’ to contend with and, with most moves taking place on a Friday it can put a lot of strain on everyone involved, from you the person moving to the solicitors. It’s at this point that you’ll be glad you chose a mover that is a Member of the British Association of Removers, with a moving crew who understand your predicament, and do everything they can to safely get your belongings into your new home.

Why choose a BAR Member for your move
When you’re moving home it’s good to know that BAR Member’s are thoroughly inspected and bound to adhere to the Association’s stringent Code of Practice, so all our Members can be relied upon to provide a high level of service to the customer. You will also be protected by the BAR’s Advanced Payment Guarantee, so can rest assured that any advanced payment you’ve made will be protected by the BAR in the rare event that your mover experiences financial difficulties and is unable to carry out your move. For further peace of mind should a dispute arise with the mover there is a defined procedure in place to rectify the situation, through the BAR’s FREE and independent Dispute Resolution Service.
Maintaining high standards
As a BAR Member, your chosen mover will already have achieved an impressive level of working practice, but as dedicated and ambitious professionals many of our Members work for other prestigious industry recognised quality service standards which demonstrate that their company is working to the highest possible standard in both working practices and customer care. Amongst others, these may include the following:
-
BS EN 12522 – The Domestic Removals Standard
