Moving is exciting. You could be moving into your first home, upgrading a family home, or simply moving from one state to another. Whatever the reason for the move it’s exciting to try a new house and explore the local area. But, it is also nerve-wracking as there are so many things that need to be sorted out.
The good news is that it doesn’t have to be. You simply need to apply a few simple tips to make your move easy and painless.
Pre-Pack
Once you have a moving date start packing. It doesn’t matter how far away the date is, there are plenty of things in your home that are rarely if ever, used. Pack them up straight away, it will reduce the need to rush when moving day arrives.
Get Storage
If you have packed things up then speak to the best Sydney removalists about storage solutions. You may not have considered this before but using storage is a great way to eliminate the stress of removal day.
Look at it this way. The majority of moving stress comes from needing to empty your house by a given time. But, if you can move all, or most of your items out before moving day and into storage, there is no need to be stressed on moving day.
You simply load the last of your items and leave the property. There is no rush to empty your storage unit, it can be moved gradually to your new place or, if you’re moving away from the area, load your van up at your own pace and then head off.
Start Early
As well as pre-packing, you should make sure you are well-rested and ready to start as early as possible on the day of moving. This will give you time to finish loading your van and deal with any unexpected issues.
In most cases, there won’t be any and you can be heading for breakfast by mid-morning with all your packing done, waiting for the final confirmation and key exchange. There is no better way to feel in control of the process.
Use Standard Boxes
You can get boxes from your local store and other warehouses. However, while they are free they are also an array of different sizes. That’s going to make it difficult to stack them in your van. Instead, spend the money and buy removal boxes. They are all the same size, making stacking much easier. They are also stronger, safeguarding your valuables.
When you’re finished you can sell the boxes to someone else.
Label Everything
There is no better way of finding what you need than by labelling everything. That means every box should have a code and a comprehensive list of what is in the box. It slows the packing down but removes all the stress when you move into your new place.
As you label, make sure all items are cleaned, and then they will be ready to use as soon as you unpack.
