The Ultimate Moving Home Checklist
Monday, May 22, 2017
We all know that moving home can come with its fair share of
headaches. We’ve all been through it before and we know what a mountainous
challenge it can feel like if not planned out properly. Once we’ve done it a
couple of times we start to notice however that a smooth move is a well
organised move, so with that in mind here are our top tips for creating the
ultimate moving home checklist.
Organise Insurance
Organising insurance is really important to make sure that you
are covered for every potential eventuality. Contents and household insurance is one of the most important
insurance policies that we can invest in and that is never more true than when
we are moving house. So if you don’t already have this insurance make sure you
get it in time for your big move so your belongings are covered.
Always Call In The Pros
Learning from our past mistakes we all know that there really is
no point in trying to do it all ourselves. Trying to take on every detail of our
move only results in high levels of stress and the odd popped back disk so
calling in the professional removalists
is essential to make sure it all goes without a hitch.
Finalise Utilities
You need to be contacting all your electricity, water and gas suppliers to let them know that you
are moving. Make sure you are on top of final meter readings and that your
suppliers are provided with your new address so that the transition from home to
home is as smooth as possible.
Redirect Post
It’s incredibly frustrating to have to deal with missing post so
make sure you have all of this organised in good time before you move to ensure
you don’t lose any important mail.
Prepare An Inventory
Creating an inventory of everything you own means that you can
keep on top of your belongings in the move. You want to be working your way
through your home and making lists of all your belongings, to make sure that
everything is accounted for.
Organised Packing
Once your inventory is in place you can then start planning your
packing schedule. Making sure you are organising your packing in a highly methodical and structured way. You want to
start packing the smaller items of your home, that are not in everyday use, well
in advance of the movie weekend. You want to try and leave as little as possible
to be packed on the actual day itself whilst also making sure that you retain
access to all your essential items. So think strategically and start putting
away all the items that you will not need, with well labelled boxes. All the
material for packing up the larger and more essential items such as beds and
sofas should be all ready and good to go for the day of the move itself. So
preparation and organisation is key.
