Moving House: All the Tips and Tricks You Will Need
Moving house is said to be one of the most stressful life events that you can go through. Here, we are going to provide you with some useful info you can carry with you, and put into action every time you move house. It doesn’t have to be stressful if you have the right plan. Be sure to bookmark this page to use as a moving house checklist and share it with friends and family who may be about to embark on their own moving journey!
Don’t miss the opportunity to declutter your life
As humans, it’s only natural that we accumulate and hang on to a whole lot of things that we probably don’t need. Treat your move like an exciting fresh start, and in preparation for moving day, be sure to assess your belongings and ask yourself if they are a necessity in your new chapter.
In addition, don’t make the move harder than it needs to be. Everything you keep is something that is going to cost you money, time, and energy to move. If it’s not worth it, then donate, bin, or sell it and move on.
Have the utilities connected in advance
With this little bit of prep work, you will make your life so much easier. Where possible, contact your electricity, telephone, and internet providers and ensure everything will be switched on from day one. As an extra to this, be sure to disconnect from the old house when you leave to avoid an unwanted bill.
Wrap with care
In order to avoid a heartbreaking sight when you open the boxes on the other end, pack everything with extra padding than you think it needs. Not only is bubble wrap a great ally, but clothing and towels make excellent support for fragile items.
Clearly label the boxes
This one is such a lifesaver. Though you might get a little over the packing by the end of it all, don’t lose the motivation to clearly label the boxes. It can save so much time and frustration when you get into your new home if you can stack all of the boxes for each room where they belong and go through them one at a time.
Pack an emergency box
It’s life, stuff can happen. To avoid any moving mishaps, or simply to be prepared for complete exhaustion on night one in your new place, pack an emergency box and keep it with you. Put your absolute essentials together. Think things like toothbrushes, phone chargers, towels, clothes, coffee - whatever your absolute non-negotiables are. This way, no matter what happens, you have the bare minimum to get by.
