The stress of moving your belongings and furniture in a new abode is huge. The chore of moving furniture and other household items up and down the stairs and through doorways is scary. Relocating is a stressful event but it can be eased by following the right guidelines to safely move houses.

Timelines & Planners

When moving, it is essential to organise and plan everything in advance. All aspects of relocating home should be noted and crossed off when they are completed. Having a planner ensures that you are on schedule and nothing is left undone. Planners are ideal for listing everything that your move requires, including your packing supplies, moving budget, and moving chores like changing your address, obtaining doctor records, and utility disconnect and reconnect. If you are hiring a professional removalist company, it is best to hire them at least three months before your relocation day.

Budget estimation

Planning and organising your removal budget is important to save money as much as possible. You must get rid of things you no longer need, this will help you to reduce moving costs as the volume and weight of your household items and belongings will decrease. Once you have chosen a moving company for your relocation then request them for an in-home moving inspection. This will help you determine an accurate cost estimate.

Choosing a reliable removalist company

As soon as you plan to relocate, you should start your search for a professional, reliable, affordable and experienced moving company, which offers quality removal service and customer care. You must ensure that the chosen company is fully insured, offers door to door billing and has no call out or depot fees. Make sure to find a package that suits your need. For instance, if you are shifting to a small apartment and have fewer belongings then you should hire mini movers. It’s a waste of money to hire big trucks for a small move.

Packing

Many movers also provide packing services so you don’t have to stress much about packing, unpacking, disassembly and reassembly of furniture and belongings. If you are packing your belongings yourself, you will need to handle minutes of packing by your own. Such as, rolls of packing tape, packing paper, packing peanuts, bubble wrap, and cardboard boxes. It is better to hire a packing service to ensure a stress free, easy and timely relocation.

Moving day

You must keep your household items packed and ready to load. Avoid sorting and packing household items when the movers arrive. Everything from your cell phone fully charged to your essential items packed in the car and pets being in a safe and secured place should be taken care of well in advance. Relocation is a stressful task and the better you prepare everything beforehand, the calmer you will remain during the transit.
