Four Vital Tips For A Smooth House Move

/in /by

You could be the most cool and collected person out there, but one thing that is bound to tip your stress levels is moving home. There is so much to do and organise and more often than not it seems like there isn’t enough time to do it all.

Fortunately, with years of experience in the removals industry, MooveIt Removals have Four handy tips that will help ease your stress and make your house move as smooth as possible.

Declutter – No matter how big or small your current property is the likelihood is, that over the years various amounts of unnecessary bits and bobs will have accumulated, often taking over specific draws or cupboards when there is actually no use for them and there probably never will be. This is where you have to be brutal and make decisions of what to keep and what to throw away. For some this can be simple but for others letting go of some things is quite difficult to do.

It is always best to start decluttering as soon as possible leaving plenty of time before your house move so you have the time to decide what’s worth keeping, what should go to charity shops, what can be recycled and what needs throwing away. It is best to be as ruthless as possible as you will not only feel the benefits while packing up your home but when it comes to unpacking at the other end you will be glad you have a lot less ‘bits’ to find a new space for. For more helpful tips on how to declutter your home check out one of our previous blog posts – http://www.wemooveit.com/blog/home-declutter-moving-tips

Make A Checklist – Take time to sit and write out a thorough check list of everything you need to get done before moving day arrives. This will not only help you keep on top of what needs doing, you can organise your time to get the tasks ticked off and it ensures you don’t forget anything which also helps take some of the stress out of moving home. Your checklist should include everything to do with the move, dates and times, tasks and people that need informing of your house move such as insurance and utilities.

Get Help – No matter how organised or handy you are it is always easier if you have a little help. Ask friends or family to pitch in where they can help with packing or transporting some stuff from your old house to the new one for you, every little helps! If you have chose to use a removals company like us here at MooveIt Removals you can also enlist the help of our dedicated team, we can help with everything from packing to disassembling and reassembling furniture. Again, getting that extra bit of help can ease the stress of moving home.

Arrange Utilities – Finally, make sure you have all your utilities in order, cancel anything that need cancelling, change your address with relevant companies, if your changing supplier for anything be sure to cancel your old one and get the new ones set up ready for the day you move in. Also don’t forget about any subscriptions you have such as magazines or books, these can easily be forgotten about and kit could be a while before you notice you’ve been left paying for a subscription that you haven’t been receiving as you never changed address. By doing all of this before you move it means that come moving day you wont have to think about any of it and everything will be good to go as soon as your in so all that’s left to do is unpack and get settled.

3 steps to move house without stress

/in /by

Tip 1: Get an early start to planning

There is nothing more stressful than trying to plan a move on moving day. Make your preparations as early as you can. We would recommend you start planning at least 4 weeks before moving day. An early start will give you time to fully consider the move, ensuring you will feel confident on moving day.

Tip 2: Give away unwanted items

Don’t spend time and money moving items unwanted items. Consider donating or giving away any items you don’t want or no longer need. In the weeks before your move declutter your home, it will make the moving process so much easier.

Tip 3: Start Packing as Soon as Possible

Start packing as soon as possible. Gather your packing materials and pack items that are not in for daily use such as books, picture frames, and ornaments. On moving day you will have much less work to do and you will have plenty of time to think about how each item is packed.

5 time saving tips for moving house

/in /by

Moving house and all the work involved in packing can be stressful and time consuming. We can help. With our 5 top tips, you can save time and reduce the stress involved in moving house.
Being well organised is the key to our efficiency. At Wemooveit, we take time to consider our preparations. We are well organised for every house removals project. You can be well organised too.
Tip 1 : Look after the little things.
Use small bags and containers to save all the small bolts, screws and other parts from dismantled furniture. If you can store this container in or attached to the furniture it came from.
Tip 2: Secure your cabinet doors and drawers
Use cellophane wrap (cling film). Wrap it around your furniture a few times. This will keep the doors from flying opening and drawers and interior shelves from falling out. If you wrap the entire piece of furniture, it will be better protected against scuffs and scrapes.
Packing Hack #1 Colour-coding or Post-it note descriptions:
It sounds pretty simple, but colour coding and post-it notes can go a long way in terms of organisation.
Grab some different coloured stickers or even different coloured permanent markers, and then colour-code your cartons by room.
For example, blue for all of your kitchen cartons and red for the bathrooms.
Don’t forget to make yourself a colour-coded sheet for reference.
It will make it easier to pack and to unpack.
If you only have plain coloured post-it notes handy, you can still easily reference what is inside the box by labelling them with rooms of the house.
Tip 3: reinforce your packing boxes
Your items may be heavier than you think and standard packing boxes often inadequate. Using packing tape, reinforce your packing boxes. Remember to fill any gaps in packing boxes with scrunched up paper, this will prevent your items from being damaged as they move around.
Tip 4: take photos before disconnecting electronics
Reconnecting the cables to your tv, tv boxes and audio systems, etc is rarely straight forward. Take photos and use colour coding to enable you to quickly reconnect these items in their new locations
Tip 5: Bonus tip
