Preparing a moving inventory for accurate quotes
An inventory helps companies understand the same job and helps you keep track of belongings. Focus on the furniture, box quantities and items that affect handling rather than cataloguing every small object.
Work through every space
Include sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, appliances, heavy items such as a piano or safe, fragile belongings and art. Add a realistic box estimate and contents in a cellar, loft or shed.
Keep the list usable
Group by room and use photographs where they clarify size or access. Give every company the same version. The inventory tool can help you organise the description.
Use it on moving day
Number boxes where useful and check them as they arrive. Update the description if the load changes before moving day so the company can confirm whether the quote still applies.

Must I record every small item?

Are photographs useful?
Yes. They can clarify the load and help the company assess the work.
Why use the same inventory for all offers?
It keeps the quoted job consistent, making comparisons more meaningful.
