Advice On Hiring Mobile Home Movers In Kansas

By Katrina Wheeler


Several mobile home movers in Kansas area have the staff with the experience, skills and the right equipment to move your mobile house from one location to another. If you take care to hire the right service provider it will help to ensure that you are not faced with additional costs. Additional costs can often arise from using an inexperienced transport firm or because individuals try to do the move on their own.

One of the first things you will need to check before you put plans in place to move your house to another site is any mortgage or loan conditions. Your lender may have stipulated as a condition of your loan or mortgage restrictions which would prevent you transporting your home to another location. You should also talk to your insurance provider, as it is likely you will require additional insurance during the move.

It is likely that you will be required to provide notice to the park owner that you intend to move. Standard contracts usually require thirty days notice of your intention to quit. If you are unsure of the conditions speak to the park manager for clarification. You will need a permit to move a mobile house, which will only be issued if your property taxes are paid up to date.

Good practice is to obtain at least three quotes from moving companies. Confirm that the transport company has the appropriate license and adequate insurance cover in case of accidental damage to your property. Always ensure that you receive a written statement of the terms and condition of service from your chosen service provider.

Ask your service provider for their check-list of things you need to do in preparation for the move. Tasks you will likely find on the to do list will include cancellation of all your services and utilities such as water, phone and power supplies. A reminder to take final meter readings for all your utilities should be taken when the supplies are disconnected and sent to the service supplier so they can issue their final bill.

To prepare your van for the move it is advisable to take out as much furniture and other movable items from the van for safety reasons. Pack and remove cutlery, glasses, dishes and anything else which is breakable. Transporting all your fragile and movable items separately prevents damage and is a safety issue which the transporter should always insist on.

All internal and external doors and drawers need to be locked or taped to stop them from swinging open during the move. Any items attached to the outside of the structure which can be removed should be taken off before transport. Security lights, decorative items and anything else attached to the exterior of your house that is likely to fall off during transport should be removed.

Leave the final preparation of the van for transportation to the mobile home movers in Kansas. They have the experience, the skills and the tools to safely remove the skirt and securely connect your home to their transporter. Make sure your mover carries out a final check to ensure your house is ready to go.
