House moving - companies that 'do it all'?

Are there any companies which handle all of the complexities of a house move? And I do mean EVERYTHING involved in a move - you name it, they'll handle it (and charge to do it of course).

Do such companies exist?

If so, any recommendations please?

Thanks

    You mean physically move for you or find the house, negotiate the deal etc?

    Yes, of course, there are people to do everything for a price.
    Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
  • Not to find the house, but everything that comes after that, ie arranging what needs to be moved, what needs to be thrown out, sourcing and supervising a good removal company, contacting utility suppliers, ensuirng everything is fully working in the new property, etc, etc, etc. IE everything bar the sale of the new property and the purchase of the new one (although if they would do that too then all well and good).

    Basically you're after someone to do all the nitty gritty? All the legal paper work, taxes, mortgage, exchange contract, negotiate funds. Effectively everything involved from the point of having your offer accepted on a property to moving in to your new home with utilities etc connected? Also do you need them to sell your current property too?

    I haven't any experience with such a company but I don't doubt one exists. I guess my post is more to clarify what it is you're after!

    yes - a lot of large employers use these companies to assist in employee moves. Google for HCR; other companies are available. Not sure if many do non corporate work though.

    Yup, that's it. :)
