The key to a less stressful house move is planning well ahead of moving day. There are several things you can do a month or two before the move.
The first thing to do is to notify utilities and services that you need to cancel or transfer them to the new address. This includes water, gas, electricity, broadband, home insurance, gym memberships and more. It’s a suitable time to research utility deals for the new home as it can be cheaper to use a new provider rather than transfer an existing account.
Let everyone know your new address and when you will move there. As well as friends and family, inform healthcare providers, credit card companies, the bank., subscription services and any other organisation you use.
Cull your belongings as there is no sense in moving items to your new home that you never use. Get rid of bulky items like garden furniture, chairs, sofas and beds that are worn or damaged. Replace them with new ones when you move to your new home, if you can afford it.
You may even decide to pack any items you don’t need to use before the move early. To do this, you’ll need to get packing supplies such as boxes, packing tape, markers and bubble wrap.
It’s a good idea to find a reliable moving company in advance of the move. For Merseyside, Southport, Allerton and St Helens removals, contact us at Merseyside Movers & Storers to arrange a day for our team to move your possessions to your new place.
