“Right from when I first contacted them they were
professional, competent & friendly. Any time I contacted
them their responses were quick & efficient. When they
came to install my new front door they were on time,
friendly, did a great job and tidied up after themselves.
I noticed there was a very small issue just after they’d
left but they came back the very next morning and put it
right within a minute. Very pleased with the job & service.
Would definitely use them again.”
- K Swinburn
“We are more than happy to continue to work with
Conwy Valley because the support was honest,
authentic and the price was so fair, and to top if off
the quality of the work was absolutely superb.”
- I Urbat
“Provided sound, practical and budget-friendly advice
on the best ways to double glaze. The fitters were polite,
knowledgeable & experienced. The windows & doors are
of excellent quality, and heating bills have reduced since
fitting. Sound-proofing is top notch. Finally, this was an
on-going project over 18 months; we used Conwy Valley
Windows for all the work as we were confident and
happy they would provide the best service.

Be in control on moving day
Here’s a few quick tips to help keep you in control on
your moving day…
BE PREPARED:
1. Communicate
Keep in touch with your Conveyancing Solicitor
and Estate Agent, ensure they are all prepared for
completion day, and remember they are working for
you. Inform your Conveyancing Solicitor of anything
that could be an issue, no matter how small, they can
judge if they need to do anything to ensure a smooth
transaction.
2. Avoid same day exchange and completion
If you’re in a chain of people moving this is not
recommended as it would only take one person to have
an issue with the exchange for all your plans to be void.
If you are using Help to Buy Equity Loan the Homes and
Communities Agency (HCA) could take up to 1 week to
release the funds between exchange and completion,
whilst this may or may not apply to you, it may be
relevant to some parties in the chain. Allowing a week
between exchange and completion will also give you
time to make final arrangements now a definite date is
known such as setting up a Royal Mail postal redirect
service, which takes up to 5 working days, informing
your removals company, booking time off work etc.
3. Ensure all the required funds are ready
You should ensure your Conveyancing Solicitor has
all the funds needed from you to close on completion
day. Try to include in your budget an amount for other
costs like changing locks, domestic connections, other
miscellaneous fees and service charges etc.
4. Book a professional mover early
A professional removals service is recommended by
the majority of house movers. They will ensure all your
things are out of your home on time before the next
property owners obtain possession and ensure they get
your belongings to your next home safely. They can be
booked in advance and a date confirmed once it is
agreed with your solicitor. Professional removal
companies deal with the property business on
a daily basis, they can give you advice and
they will be able to help guide you through
some of the moving hurdles. Remember to
reserve a parking space if necessary.
5. Pack up your belongings way
in advance of move day
A removals company can help with packing and
can pack up your entire house in a day or two or to
reduce costs you can decide to pack belongings into
boxes yourself. Do start this at least a week before your
move. Pack your breakables carefully with bubble
wrap, or old t-shirts and curtains etc. to avoid
breakages. Label all the boxes with the room
they will be going to in your new house to help
your removals company. Decide what you want
to take with you, what you can recycle or find a
new home for; envisage your new home to see
where your furniture is going to be placed to
save you moving anything that you do not have
room for.
18 www.fletcherpoole.com

MOVING DAY
1. Child and pet care
Children will want to be involved in the move, but it
can be a distraction for you and unsafe environment
for them. Pets also will be distressed and confused, so
asking someone to help look after them on the day will
allow you to concentrate on your move. If the children
are old enough to help, find age appropriate tasks for
them so they can feel part of the move. They could
help make beverages if old enough, or help with
the final clean up and say goodbye to their old
house.
2. Meter readings
Before you leave, get a final meter reading
of all your metered services and call the
relevant suppliers to inform them of the
numbers so you can settle up the final
balance and close the account ready for
moving. If you don’t do this you could end
up in disputes with the new owners and it’s
just added stress when you could
be relaxing in your new home.
3. Pack an overnight bag as if
you’re
going away for the weekend
This will help you on your first
night and day once you arrive in
your new home to help you find
clothes and toiletries that are
otherwise packed away.
4. Essentials box packed and
transported with you
“Pack your breakables
carefully with bubble wrap,
or old t-shirts and curtains, to
avoid breakages”
Essentials box to include; kettle, cups, tea and coffee,
milk, sugar, loo roll, snacks, phone charger, small radio,
tape, pens, scissors. These will be still needed in your
old house and the first thing you will want to find in your
new house! Remember your removal team will need
refreshments too!
5. Final checks and clean
Make sure you are fully prepared for the day ahead.
Go through each room of your home and ensure that
you have not forgotten anything. Do leave your old
home in a clean and tidy condition for the new owners;
if you have time before the move a spring clean is
recommended and do remember if leaving white goods
in the kitchen to give them in good condition and
consider a professional oven clean. It is a good idea not
to pack the vacuum cleaner and give the house a good
clean once it is empty.
YOUR NEW HOME,
WHERE TO BEGIN...
1. Make up your new beds in the new house first
When you’re tired later and you can’t face anymore
unpacking, you can hop straight into a comfy bed and
get a good night’s sleep. This way you will feel revived
and ready to crack on again in the morning! Putting up
curtains in the bedrooms are also a great start.
2. Your first meal
Who knows how many helpers you will have and you
are bound to have worked up an appetite. To be very
organised, a grocery delivery would be one less job, but
you need to ensure that you have your kitchen sorted
out by the time it is delivered. Locate a local takeaway
delivery company so when you get hungry in the middle
of building the beds and wardrobes you can have a
welcome break without taking too much time off!
3. Home insurance
This may be the last thing on your mind, but do ensure
your policy has started and everything is covered for
your new home. It would be awful if you your foot goes
through the ceiling whilst unpacking and your home
insurance policy has not been updated so you’re not
covered.
4. Meter readings
As when you left your previous home, take meter
readings of all your metered services, record the
numbers and call the relevant suppliers to ensure your
services don’t get cut off, there are no outstanding
balances on these services from the previous owners
