How to avoid stress when moving home


At some point in all of our lives we move house, some more than others. Have you ever finally moved all your boxes and goods into your new home, sat down after a long day of packing, cleaning and driving and said, “That’s the last time I’m doing that.” And then a few years later you’re doing it all over again.

There is an easy way to avoid the stress and hassle of moving and that is to hire a removal company, you will find that they have a lot more experience when it comes to planning and packing and as most removal companies have large vehicles, they can usually move all your goods in one go. This is essential if you are moving abroad or moving to another town or city.

In this house removal blog you will find some simply tips on how to avoid getting stressed and how to make the day of the move as enjoyable as possible.

When it comes to choosing your removal company, you want to make sure that they are experience and that they are insured, accidents happen and sometime they can’t be helped so making sure your property is insurance is always going to take some of the stress off.

A good removal company will offer a packing service, where they can arrange to come to your property and pack and load your items for you. Typically most experienced removal men are good at Tetris so letting them pack is a good idea, this leaves you time to concentrate on other important things such as utilities, meter readings, changing address on important documents etc.

De-clutter and Clean


There is no better time to go through a clear out of anything that you want to throw away, there is no point taking any of your old clutter to your nice new home. Work through one room at a time going through all cupboards, cabinets and drawers and don’t forget to check the garage and the loft.

Once everything is packed and out of the way, now is your chance to give the whole house a good clean. You should leave the house the same way you would expect to find your new home.

To me, to you


When it comes to moving home, 2 men and van is the best solution, they can carry any large items together such as sofa’s and white goods, also this reduces the changes of any fragile items that are tricky to handle (e.g. TV’s and mirrors) being damaged. A good removals team won’t stop for a tea/coffee if they are charging by the hour but it is always nice to offer them a cold beverage to keep them going.

Save time and money


If you want to make the whole house removal process as cheap and quick as possible then it’s advisable that you make sure you pack your own items the day before, making sure to clearly label all the boxes (there is nothing worse than hunting through 20 boxes for a bottle opener) and make sure they are easily accessible, such as placing them in the front room. Arrange a time for the removal team to meet you at your home and if you are being charged by the hour then you may even want to assist with carrying boxes to the removal vehicle.
