Moving house is more than just a change of address. It’s an opportunity to reinvent your space, turning it into a reflection of your style and achievements. However, the road to this new stage can be challenging. Complex logistics and raw emotions can make the experience stressful. But with the right approach, it is possible to make the move a smooth process.
Here are some guidelines for planning, organizing and executing your move like a pro:
How to evaluate a moving company before hiring them?
Before hiring a moving company, it’s crucial to assess its reputation. A good reputation saves time and money. Ask essential questions to get valuable information about the company and prepare for moving day. Also check reputable review sites and ask for letters of recommendation.
How far in advance should I hire a removal team?
If possible, start researching removal companies eight weeks before the planned date. Booking a month in advance is ideal, bearing in mind that the cost can vary depending on demand. It’s usually more expensive at the end of the month and during the summer.
Best practices for packing your home?
Use effective packing techniques to ensure that your belongings reach their final destination undamaged. There are plenty of specific “Packing 101” tips to make this process more efficient.
Resources for moving/packing materials?
Opt for 100% recyclable packing materials for a greener move. Look for boxes certified by the Sustainable Supply Standard of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) and use biodegradable materials such as polyurethane eco-bubble. Other materials can take hundreds of years to decompose. In addition, you can save money by asking moving companies for used boxes made from recyclable materials. There are also movers who will reimburse you for the used boxes at the end of your move.
Professional packing vs. personal packing?
While it’s always an advantage to have the help of professionals to pack and unpack, there are valuable or dangerous items that should be treated with special care. Keep items such as money, important documents, flammable substances and medicines under your direct supervision. The more help during the moving process, the less stress!
Pros of having professionals do the packing:
- They know how to wrap and protect.
- They are much quicker to pack.
- They know how to pack boxes professionally so that they don’t get crushed when stacked.
- They know what materials to use to pack just about anything.
- They can build customized boxes for your works of art.
- They are experienced.
Staying Organized with Labels and Visual Records
Label the contents of each box and indicate the destination room. Take photos of the inside and outside of the boxes to make it easier to locate the items. Have a plan for the first night in the new home, ensuring that it becomes welcoming immediately.
The Calendar to Moving Day
Follow a specialized moving calendar with detailed planning to stay organized and informed about the steps to follow.
A smooth move can be an exciting experience, and with the right guidance, it becomes a rewarding accomplishment. By applying these strategies and tips, you’ll be on your way to a new, hassle-free chapter in your life.
