When families or individuals have decided to move house, and have found and completed on their perfect new family home, they hope that their impending move is smooth and hassle-free so that they can easily settle in to their new surroundings. Most people want to continue the happy feeling of new beginnings that they felt when signing contracts, and to not feel exhausted and stressed about the process of moving. You can make your relocation much easier by following these five useful tips-
Get all the Help Possible
It might be that difficulties arise during your move because of the small number of people involved in your move. When moving with young children, or when trying to relocate as a single person, it may be that you need to enlist the help of family members and close friends to ensure that you keep to your schedule and have a stress-free relocation.
When moving with children, it is often near-impossible to focus on packing when your child is in constant need of attention, or always wanting to play. If trying to get them to help has failed, then it may be useful to call in the grandparents to entertain the little ones whilst you spend time sorting the house and filling boxes with belongings.
Label that Box
Be proficient with your packing, and no matter how tempting it seems, don’t just fling items into suitcases, boxes, or even try to move fully filled drawers or wardrobes as this will only lead to unpacking nightmares. Instead, stay organized and purchase or hire appropriate sized removal boxes, and have a clear moving plan.
Organization is key to a successful, smooth move as it will mean that you will know exactly where all your belongings are upon arrival at your new property. Labeling boxes and writing concise but detailed lists not only helps you plan your packing before and during, but will mean that unpacking becomes easier as essential items can quickly be found in the clearly labelled boxes.
Use a Professional Cleaner
After emptying the property of your personal possessions, there now comes the time to spring clean the whole house so that the next inhabitants will be able to instantly comfortable upon arrival. Unless you are able to allocate a good couple of days to cleaning the property top to bottom after you’ve removed all your belongings, then you may want to use a professional cleaner to make sure your old home is left in tip top condition.
A professional cleaning company will have the know-how and machines to clean the vacated property easily and thoroughly meaning that you will feel comfortable with the way that the house is left.
Hire a Van
Hiring a van to help with your move is almost an imperative to a successful transition from one property to another. Although smaller items, like clothing, books, and children’s toys may be easily transported by your family car, some larger and heavier items will not be so simply moved and will require a large van.
Along with the benefit of a van being able to successfully move large items such as beds and wardrobes, using a van to help you move will also cut down on the time you spend transferring items from your old home to your new one, as you will able to fit more possessions into the larger vehicle, and will therefore need to take less trips between the properties.
