Making sure you’re prepared for your moving date is crucial to making the process as smooth as possible - and you’ll be surprised how much furniture and belongings you have to sort through. The key to getting things ready in an organised and stress-free way is to prepare ahead of time. To help you do just that, this blog will provide a few basic steps that you can follow in the months and weeks leading up to your move.
Find the right company
The first step you need to take is to find a professional removal company to execute the move. A quick search will help you find a local removal company who can help with packing, transporting and overall organisation of your move. Having an extra few pairs of hands will make a huge difference in how the day pans out, and families with small children and pets will appreciate the help as they have much more to think about.
Declutter
The biggest task of a move is organising your belongings. Years of gathering items means you’ll probably have a lot more than you realise, which is why you should start early. Organise your items in each room into sections such as keep, recycle or donate - try not to bring unwanted items to your new home so you can start afresh. Unwanted items such as clothing and some furniture can be donated to charity shops and organisations, or why not ask friends and family if they can make use of anything you no longer need?
As you start packing it’s a good idea to start with the items that you won’t need to reach for such as books or seasonal clothing. A great way of keeping things in order is to pack your boxes by room, so keep all of your kitchen items together and so on - and don’t forget to label your boxes with their room location, number each box as part of an inventory or colour code as you go. There’s nothing worse than fumbling around in boxes just to find one item, so make sure you come up with a system that makes things easy to find. You could also create a survival bag filled with the items you’ll need to hand such as toiletries, cleaning products, a change of clothes and chargers.
