How to help your removal

 

Plan your move in advance, so that you can organize all the details carefully, choosing the days this will be carried out and taking care of all the details. This will ensure that the removal goes smoothly, and is not a source of anxiety

 

 

- Recommendations

Request an estimate for various different companies, so that you have several options to compare. This will help you choose which option is most in line with your needs

Don't put too much faith in excessively low estimates, as a reduction in price usually goes hand in hand with a reduction in the quality of service.

Get rid of all the belongings you no longer need. Make the most of the fact you are moving home and use this as an excuse to clear out your home. Don’t take objects you no longer need or which you have no use for to your new home

Make a list of the property to be handled by the removal company, to ensure that everything arrives at your new home

Try to be there where the removal company unloads your belongings at your new home so you can ensure that they do this correctly

Never leave valuable objects, such as jewels, legal documents, insurance policies, etc. with the removal company

Ensure that specialized professionals transport your piano, paintings, sculptures, etc.


- F.A.Q.

¿Qué factores determinan el precio final de una mudanza?

El precio final que usted tendrá que pagar por su mudanza estará basado en el tipo de servicio que usted haya contratado. Las empresas de mudanzas ofrecen servicios muy variados, que van desde la mudanza más simple hasta una gran complejidad de servicios, y ello hace que el presupuesto final pueda verse modificado.

Sin embargo, existen algunos factores que le pueden ayudar a        formalizar su presupuesto: tamaño del piso, accesibilidad al mismo, facilidad de desmontaje de los muebles, distancia entre los dos puntos de la mudanza,…

 

What factors determine the final cost of a move?

The final cost you will have to pay for a removal will depend on the type of service you have contracted from the company. Removal companies offer many different services, ranking from the simplest removal to very complex services, and this affects the final estimate.

Nevertheless, there are some factors that may help you formalize an estimate: the size of your apartment, its accessibility, how easily your furniture can be dismantled, the distance between your old and new home, etc.

What removal companies can be trusted?

Unfortunately, there are a great many unqualified people working in the removals sector, and a considerable number of companies that do not comply with current legislation. Although these companies may offer the lowest estimates, they cannot offer you the minimum guarantees required from a company operating within the law

When you contact a removals company, insist on receiving a proper, official contract to ensure the company is included in the Registry of Companies.

And, lastly, only trust those companies that are members of a professional association within the sector. Each geographic area has a specific association, for example the Organización Castellana de Empresas de Mudanzas (Spanish Organization for Removal Companies) in Madrid.

Are any authorizations necessary to carry out a removal?

Legislation varies from town to town, so it is a good idea obtain information regarding the town in which the removal will take place. Said information can be obtained at the local police station.In addition, if the removals company is to use a furniture lifting crane, thus blocking a public road, make sure it has proper authorization

Do you carry out removals all over Spain?

Practically. Castellana has regular routes between Spain’s main provincial capitals, as well as offices in the majority of the areas within the country.Likewise, it can reach almost any spot in the country, and will provide you with a customized estimate for any location that lies outside its normal areas of operation

Does an estimate place me under any obligation?

No. An estimate from Castellana leaves you under absolutely no obligation. Estimates are given for the purposes of information, and only when you decide to contract the services of Castellana will this become binding.Don’t hesitate to contact Castellana to request an estimate for your removal, without placing you under any obligation at a later date

How should an estimate be drawn up?

Every estimate you are given should be in the form of a  written, binding contract, so that you can ensure it is complied with and complain if the final cost is higher than the estimate given for no justifiable reason. What’s more, the estimate should be based on reference rates to avoid being given an unfair, random estimate. This will allow you to compare the different estimates you have been given.
