Posted on 06/10/2014
There is lots to remember when you move house. A lot of people forget all the tasks that need to be done when you move. Here are some great tips and useful advice you can follow for when you embark on home removals. These will really come in handy when you move and it make it far less stressful. Lists and labelsYou must make a list of everything you intend to place in each box and then of course, they should each be labeled with what is inside each box. They only need to be simple titles. It just makes it easier when you get to the other place.Sort out the petsMost people have pets and they also need to be considered when you are moving house. When it comes to moving day, it is best if they are not in the house at the time so they do not get under your feet and so that they do not get hurt whilst you are moving things back and forth. You could always ask a friend to look after them.Garden toolsOf course, you must not forget your garden equipment when you relocate. Make sure any petrol equipment is drained before it is moved and cleaned too.Beds and furnitureBeds and big furniture will have to be disassembled before it is transported to your new home. You could either do it yourself (provided that you know what you are doing), or you could hire professionals to do it for you. Some removal companies will be able to offer this additional service if you need it.Keep your essentials togetherDon’t pack the things you need and use on a daily basis. Things like your keys, your wallet, your phone, credit cards and important documents are best to be kept together and taken with you. Sort out your utilitiesBefore you move, you should make sure your utility meters have been read and then sort out the payments etc. Kitchen itemsItems like your fridge and freezer should be defrosted a few days before you transport it to the new property. Your washing machine should be too. KidsIf you have children, it is also probably best if they are left at a relative’s whilst you move. They will only get in your way and bored if they are left in the house whilst you are sorting out your house move. It is especially important if you have very young children. You don’t want any accidents. Boxes and bags will be everywhere and this can be a major hazard for young children.End your deliveriesIf you have items that are delivered to your house, don’t forget to cancel them. You might have magazine or newspaper subscriptions, or a milk delivery. Cancel them. Otherwise, you are going to be paying for something you no longer receive.PlantsIf you are a keen gardener and you have had some lovely plants you want to keep – either inside or outside – why not take them with you? Instead of packing them in the removal van, it is a better idea to leave them at a friend’s or family member’s house whilst you are moving so they do not get damaged.LampsIf you are planning on taking your lampshades and ceiling lamps with you, dismantle them before you move and take them with you. So here are some really helpful tips for you to follow when you are about to have a domestic removal. It can be easy and enjoyable!
