Moving home can be stressful and complicated, with plenty to consider.
Relocating to a place further away can be particularly challenging, but if you take the time to plan well, moving to another town or country can be smooth sailing.
It is important to start organising the move well in advance. Firstly, make a detailed moving home checklist that tracks all tasks, and hire a house moving company that is experienced in long distance removals.
The next task is to downsize and clear out unwanted items. You don’t want to waste time and money packing and transporting things you no longer use or that are faulty.
After you have donated or sold your unwanted items, start packing your belongings, starting with items you don’t need to use before the move. Pack carefully so that fragile items are protected from damage during a long journey, and deconstruct any large furniture if possible.
Make sure that everything will fit into one van, as making more than one journey or using another van isn’t always practical. An effective way to judge this is to mark out the dimensions of the van using packing tape on the ground. Stack belongings inside the marked area to see if they fit.
For the journey, pack a travel bag with snacks, toys for children if moving with the family, and toiletries. Remember to make sure phones or other electric gadgets are fully charged before you leave.
Lastly, don’t forget to update your billing and delivery address for the online shops you use, so that parcels end up in the right place following the move.
