Declutter your spaces
Every room in the house will need to be packed up quickly but before you do all the shifting and packing of furniture, you should first consider what it is you want to bring with you – and what you’ll leave behind to throw out.
A good declutter can help you get rid of everything you don’t necessarily want and would only chuck out at the other end. The less you can bring with you, the less clutter you’ll have to deal with in your new place.
Before packing, make sure you’ve gone through each room to declutter the space and that you’re only taking what really brings value to you and your household.
Pack up everything in advance
When it comes to packing, the more you can do in advance, the better. There are going to be things that you’ll want to keep from packing until the last minute but if there are items that are seasonal or that you rarely use or won’t use for a while, then it’s good to pack it up now.
That way, when it comes to moving day or the days before it, you’ll have less to do physically when it comes to packing. That means no need to stay up the night before until the crack of dawn, packing everything up.
Choose the right moving company
It’s important to choose the right moving company for your needs, especially as each company will offer a different service from the next.
Look at what services the company provides and whether you might need a more premium service depending on what furniture you need moving and where. Some companies are deemed a lot more useful than others, so check the reviews online for clarity.
Let everyone know you’re moving
This doesn’t mean letting your whole neighborhood know you’re going, but all of the utilities you use should be made aware that you’re moving.
It might be that you can simply transfer utilities over to the next place or it could be the case that you don’t need them anymore. Let everyone know you’re moving so you’re not paying double at the end of the month.
Put mail on divert to your new place
Hopefully, you’ve made everyone you’re aware of and that’s important, that you’re moving. However, it’s always good to divert your old mail to your new place, just in case you’ve missed out on anyone important.
A smooth moving process takes a considerable amount of planning, so be sure to use these tips to make it go a little more successfully in 2024.
