Size of a house in squares By
informing the company how many square meters your house is, you help it to understand what volume of objects it will need to carry during the move. For example, a different volume of objects may contain a bin, a triple, or a four-digit house.

Number of items to be transported
The number of items to be moved from one space to another determines the cost of a move both because of the effort required to transport them and because of the space they will occupy in the truck.

The required number of staff
Another important factor in shaping the cost of a relocation is how many labor hands will be needed during the relocation. The price will vary depending on the work that the staff will do, the time that will be employed and of course the number of workers that will be the workshop.

Materials that will be needed
In a move and transfer when reference is made to materials that will be used, these are mainly materials that will be used in the packaging of your items to be moved (cartons, wrapping paper, adhesive tapes, bubble roll, etc.) The above materials You can find them in Leroy Merlin stores at the best prices.

The distance of the transport points
The cost of a move is affected by the mileage between the two places where the transfer takes place. When the distance is short, the transport costs are less, while at long distances there is an extra financial burden due to the kilometers. A transport company can reduce your costs over long distances in case you agree to combine 2-3 removals in the same route. This way you save money and the company saves costs and time.

Need for lifting machine

The need to use a lift in your move can affect its overall cost. Of course it is a profitable decision since the lift preserves that your items will not be damaged during transport and dramatically reduces the total travel time.

Special cases of transport
When among the items that need to be transported you also have items of value such as piano, works of art, antiques, the cost varies as they require special treatment, making it automatically more difficult to transport them. In these cases it would be good to be absolutely sure that the transport company to which you are addressing has specialized and experienced staff and will take care of your belongings as they deserve.
