How To Move House In 5 Easy Steps
Moving home can be a stressful experience for any individual or family. However, with the help of our latest blog, we are going to outline the five main steps in order to move house whilst experiencing reduced stress and hassle …
1) Book A Removals Company
Once you know that you are moving, it’s good to start reverse engineering your move. We advise booking a removals company at least 6-8 weeks before your move so that they can undertake a pre-survey move and best calculate the resources and movers needed in order to ensure that your move goes smoothly. Although it may be tempting to get family and friends to help with your move, booking a quality removals company like Letford Removals will allow your move to run like clockwork. We have years of experience when it comes to packing, handling and undertaking all types of removals.
2) Declutter Belongings
After you have booked your removal company, it’s a good ideal to start creating an inventory list and decluttering items that will make things much easier when it comes to moving day. Decluttering is an essential task but should be done in manageable chunks. It’s recommended to make a list of two different categories including what you want to take with you and what you want to leave behind. This will help the removal team and make it very clear what items you want moving to your new property.
3) Consider Storage Solutions
Next, it’s a good idea to consider storage solutions. When decluttering, you may come across a group of items that you may be unsure what to do with. In this case, it’s advisable to use local storage solutions for short-term storage. Storage solutions should also be considered to get one step ahead of the game and start the removal process early. Companies like Letford Removals can provide a pick-up and storage service for you to make it that much easier.
4) Arrange For Packing Of Specialist Items
If you have valuable or sentimental items that need packing specifically in bespoke containers for extra protection, it’s important to make this very clear in communication with your removal company. Here at Letford Removals, we are able to provide bespoke containers for antiques and specialist items including grandfather clocks, framed art, coffee tables, awards and much more.
5) Get Ready For Moving Day
You’ll be glad to know that at this stage, you have organised and arranged everything to be in place for a seamless and hassle-free moving day. Further hints and tips for moving day include setting aside refreshments for moving day and collecting your keys for your new house from your solicitor well before moving day so that you’re fully prepared. Apart from that, sit back, relax and look forward to your move as your professional removals company does all the work for you.
