If you are undertaking a long-distance home move, naturally there are more responsibilities to take care of to make it less stressful than with a short-distance move.
If possible, it’s advisable to move during the school summer holidays if you have children. This will minimise disruption by enabling them to settle in their new home before starting a new school at the beginning of the Autumn term. Also, there is a higher chance of nice weather and longer daylight with a summer move.
Pick a removal service with expertise in long-distance moving and a professional team able to cope with and adapt to unexpected events. Merseyside Movers & Storers is a Liverpool removal company experienced in transporting our clients’ belongings anywhere in the UK and beyond.
Whilst the removals service takes care of transporting the bulk of your possessions, be sure to take an essentials box on your journey containing a kettle, tea, coffee, important documents, toys for the children, toiletries and other items you can easily locate when you reach the new home. In case the moving van is delayed, and you arrive first at the new home, you’ll need enough items to help you relax and refresh yourself while you wait.
If travelling by car, it is recommended to take a break of at least 15 minutes every two hours. Try not to drive more than eight hours a day. You may need an advance hotel booking for an overnight stay if your property is not ready.
