A Comprehensive Guide to Move Homes, Fast and Easy!
Bringing together the best of house-moving ideas, packing tips, and moving instructions is often considered a sure-shot way of achieving successful relocation projects. This is something that we all kind of believe in and this is that idea at the back of our heads that we keep going back to when we are preparing for a move.
However, practically it is the on-time appointment of the professionals – i.e. the packers and movers on the task that steers the journey throughout but the assortment of things that we plan to close at our end does impact the move’s outcome. And until all of the key aspects are aligned well and scheduled as per a realistic timeline, you cannot expect to witness a successful move. So, without further ado, let’s talk about the tried-and-tested tips that can take our move in the right direction, without compromising the safety of your goods and the sanity.
Let’s begin:
- Think through your move idea: Merely knowing the date of your move and the timings would not help you to facilitate your house-moving journey. You will have to make sure that you know how you want to take things ahead. If you wish to hire professionals, you will have to search for them first and compare the rates available with them before you sign the agreement papers provided by them. So, take your time and reach a sensible, affordable moving option.
- Check the worth of the mover: Not inspecting the background of the moving company would mess around with your mental peace because out of all the moving companies operating around, only 30% are the ones that are genuine and licensed. Relying on a transportation company merely for discounted rates and appealing offers would not make sense if you do not do a detailed assessment of the company and check its registration and other operational details. So, make sure you do that before affirming your decision.
- Do not relocate as a stranger: Although you will feel like a stranger initially when you move into the new city if you acquaint yourself with the basic amenities, features, and particulars of the new place, your move will not appear to be overtly challenging. You will have at least some information about what to expect in the new town, right after you move. We would also advise you to visit the locality at least once before you finally ship your goods there. You can decide a day when you will visit the new town with someone from your family so you can evaluate the surroundings and locate the major landmarks and places around.
- Get back to the preparations: House-moving preparations are going to be overwhelming and time-consuming and if you do not involve the professional packers on the project on time, you may find yourself in a never-ending sea of hassle. So, just time your moving preparations well, and soon after inspecting the new place you are going to shift to, you should pace up your packing preparations, and get that done as per the decided time. Recall again when you deal with complicated items from your house, and see if you need to move them at all. Let go of the unnecessary, surplus belongings before the move to keep your move take place within your budget.
- Escalate your packing activities: If you want to fulfill your packing chores on time, make sure you begin early, assess your stuff carefully, and get the resources in place so you can get started with the preparations without any hassle. You will see the movers accomplishing the rest of the packing quite effortlessly and quickly. So, before they join you, make sure you are done with your section of the packing activities that you have enlisted to attend by yourself. This will comprehensively speed up your packing tasks and bring more efficiency to the project. If you feel you would need some help with the packing of your goods alone, you can ask your friends or someone you know that you think can assist you in this.
- Be clear of your immediate chores: You should be aware of the reasons you chose to relocate and the immediate things you would be focusing on, soon after you reach your new house, in the new city. It could be joining your new workplace making yourself comfortable in the city branch of your existing company; getting your kids enrolled in a new school and college, etc. Unless you are clear about that, you will not know what you should evaluate right after you land in the destination city. You will be required to research the best schooling options or institutions so you can keep this transition equally smooth and happening for your children.
- Look after other key arrangements: Apart from the priority chores, you will have a few alignment tasks that you will need to take care of so that you experience a painless relocation. For instance, getting your essentials kit prepared and organizing your important documents for the move in a folder together which you can carry along for the move. This should be followed up with arranging suitable insurance coverage and organizing other important travel formalities and paperwork on time.
- Leave aside a clear household: When you shift from your current household and evacuate it before your move, you should make sure you are leaving a habitable space that is clean and maintained. Even if you hand over the property to the landlord you bought it from, he will evaluate the condition of the space before agreeing to close the contract. So, take care of that and consider getting it cleaned thoroughly with professional cleaning experts and make sure you have sent it all with the movers and packers.
