Start early. Plan ahead and start organizing your move well in advance. This will give you enough time to pack, sort through your belongings and make necessary arrangements.
Declutter. Moving is a good opportunity to declutter and get rid of things you no longer need or use. Consider selling or donating items to reduce the amount of stuff you need to move. This will reduce the cost of your relocation.
Create a checklist. Write down all the tasks you need to complete before the move and check them off as you go. This will help you keep track of your progress and ensure nothing gets overlooked.
Hire a moving company. A professional moving company, like Curly’s Removals can make the process much easier and less stressful. Read reviews and make sure you know the insurance limitations of the company you use. If you’re comparing quotes make sure you’re comparing apples and apples by proving each company with the same information.
Label your boxes. Clearly label your boxes with the contents and room they belong to. This will make it easier for the movers to place them in the correct room and for you to unpack more efficiently.
Pack a survival kit. Pack a separate box with essential items you will need on the first night in your new home, such as toiletries, medications, bedding, clothing, mobile phone chargers etc.
Update your address. Don’t forget to notify your utility companies, bank, and other relevant organizations of your change of address, and get your local post office to put a re-direction order for any incoming mail.
Stay organized. Moving can be hectic, so try to stay organized and have a system for keeping track of your belongings.
Be ready. On the move day, make sure you are organized with beds dismantled, electronics unplugged, boxes stacked in one area. This makes it easier for the removal team to load your items and reduces any additional costs to your move.
Take time to settle in. Finally, take time to settle into your new home. Unpack slowly and make it your own by personalizing it with décor and furniture.
