The Golden Rules For Moving House
One of the most stressful things that you can do is move to a new house. It’s not just the packing, it’s the cleaning, finding a new property, choosing to buy or rent - there are so many decisions to make when it comes to moving to a new home!
The thing is, it doesn't matter how far you are planning to move, you need to follow the golden rules of moving. If you’ve never heard of them - you’re in the right place, because we have them here for you. Let's take a look:
Shop Around
When you are looking for a removal company, you need to shop around. There are so many different companies who offer different services, and the more you shop around, the more you can find the best deal. You may not have considered how much stuff you have to move, so speaking to the experts like On The Go Moving will help you to decide on the best way to move your stuff. Compare prices and read the small print, too. You need to shop around and make sure that you are definitely getting the best price and service.
Pack Early
If you want to minimize moving stress, you need to pack up early and make sure that you have everything ready way before you need it. Give yourself a six month countdown for moving house. You can buy materials, pack boxes and store them where you can get to them easily on moving day. If you don't have time for any of that, hire packers and let them do all the hard work for you.
Have a Survival Box!
Before you get finished with our packing, you need to make sure that you set up a survival box. This should have things that you need to reach for the moment you move, from phone chargers and toiletries to tea and coffee! This will help you to feel prepared in the new house on your first day!
Hire Cleaners
You can do this one yourself, but why put more stress onto your schedule when you don't have to? Hire in the cleaners and ask them to clean the new house before you move in, as well as clean the old house that you are leaving. It’s so much easier to clean a property when it’s empty than when it’s filled with half-packed boxes and furniture. Hire the cleaners early enough so that you know you have enough time for them.
Make A Plan
Your house move should be as nailed down in planning as possible. If you want it to go smoothly, you need to prepare to make your first day in your new home feel comfortable. A move is as difficult as you want it to be and a plan will make sure that it’s not difficult at all! Get the family in on the whole plan, too, so that you can ensure that everyone is working together to make this move a positive one!
Hope this helps!
