There are many reasons why you may need to move quickly (divorce, job loss or last-minute transfer, serious damage to your home...). Professional movers like Les Gentlemen du Déménagement can help you with this task, which can be tedious and time-consuming at a time when you have neither the energy nor the time to pack your own moving boxes.
Here's some useful information to help you organize your move quickly and efficiently.
Finding a new home is often the first problem that arises. If you are moving for professional reasons, in most cases you can benefit from the "Mobilipass".
What is Mobilipass? The Mobilipass is a system that helps you find accommodation at your new place of residence. When you're transferred several hundred kilometers away from your current home, it's very time-consuming to plan and organize housing visits. It's all the more tricky in a city you don't know, and on the basis of real estate ads that aren't always faithful to reality. Distance means you can't keep going back and forth. That's where relocation companies can help, by providing you with informed, qualified advice in your search for your future home.
Under certain conditions, this service is paid for by the collecting body, so it won't cost you a thing. It's the 1st key step in preparing for your future move quickly and with peace of mind.
Moving is a highly seasonal activity. In fact, many families wait for the summer vacations to move and avoid having to move their children in the middle of the school year. From June to September, it will be more difficult to find a serious mover with availability. If you are flexible about departure and arrival dates, it will be easier to find a slot and organize your move by coordinating it with another in the same region.
Many movers work with mobile containers, which they can store and then share with another mover a few days later. If the mover belongs to a network such as Les Gentlemen du Déménagement, he'll also find it easier to find a solution via a common computer system that enables everyone's routes to be shared to avoid empty returns.
In the low season (October to May), finding a mover at short notice is generally not a problem, except for the last week of December, which is very busy with the festive season and also sees a peak in removals due to the taxe d'habitation.
To save time during your move, entrust the packing of your belongings and the creation of your boxes to movers. Professional movers, such as those in the Gentlemen du Déménagement network, offer their customers several moving packages.
