A verbal "we'll be careful" isn't documentation

Hawthorn's grand period homes often contain furniture with real value — inherited pieces, genuine antiques, items that would be difficult or impossible to replace. If something were ever disputed after a move, a verbal assurance of care doesn't help you; a photographic record of an item's condition before it's loaded does. It's a simple step, and a company confident in their handling shouldn't hesitate to offer it.

What proper documentation looks like

  • Photographs of valuable or fragile items before loading, if you'd like them taken
  • A clear record of any pre-existing marks or damage
  • Genuine transit insurance with coverage details you can actually understand
  • A crew that discusses handling specifics for particular pieces, not a generic approach

Worth asking before you book

If you have particular items you're concerned about — an antique dresser, a piece of art, family furniture — ask directly whether the company will document condition beforehand and talk through how they'll handle it specifically. A confident, detailed answer is a good sign.
