Moving house is an altogether exciting experience. You’re bidding goodbye to one property and moving onwards and upwards to pastures new. But that’s not to say that moving house always simple. Not only can the whole process be intimidating (after all, you’re packing your whole life into boxes and heading to somewhere unfamiliar), but it can prove difficult if you don’t prepare as well as perhaps you should have. That’s where we come in to help. Here’s everything that you need to know to make the moving house process as quick, simple, and enjoyable as possible!
1. Packing
There should be a distinct method involved when it comes to your packing process. First things first, you need to start well in advance. A huge mistake that most people make is to leave everything until the last minute. They worry that they will need certain things, so avoid putting anything into boxes until the actual move is imminent. Avoid this! Yes, you may well need to leave a few bits and bobs out. Essentials such as clothes, toiletries, and medicine. But the majority of things in your home will be fine and dandy if they’re packed up even months in advance. So, get started early on to allow yourself plenty of time. This also means that you can have a little more organisation to things. Use recyclable boxes where possible to minimise your impact on the environment. Keep similar items together. Not only does this save space (as things like books and files can be stacked, or clothes can be neatly folded), but it will prove extremely useful when unpacking. Label every box. This will also help during the unpacking process
2. Moving House
Once everything’s packed up, it’s pretty much set to go. But chances are that you don’t have a removal truck of your own. If you’re moving house, this is clearly an essential. However, many people think that they will be able to handle smaller moves by themselves. After the umpteenth trip back and forth in your usual vehicle, regret will strike, and you’ll understand why we’re saying here and now: save yourself the time and energy. Hire professional removalists. Not only will they be able to get things from A to B in fewer trips, but they will also have specialist knowledge and team strength that will help when it comes to shifting large items such as furniture down flights of stairs and into the back of a van.
3. Unpacking
Once everything’s at your new home, it’s time to start unpacking. Hopefully, this process will be made a whole lot simpler thanks to your thorough and organised packing process! Remember that there’s no need to rush. You can take your time, and everything doesn’t have to be unpacked at once. You may even prefer to decorate before getting the majority of your belongings out of their boxes. This prevents them from being damaged by paint.
These three steps will help to ensure that your process of moving from one property to another is as convenient, organised, and hassle-free as possible.
