What Can Be Involved When Moving Residence

By Adriana Noton


Finding the right house to move to is exciting, but once you have bought it you need to get organized. There is the packing to be done and organizing the removals. Letting the utility companies know then a final clean of your old house and a first clean of your new house. Say goodbye to your old house as you hand over the keys before moving to your new house to unpack. Call some friends and invite them to help you, in exchange for food and drink.

The first thing you should do is get organized and make a list of what needs to be done. You can tick each item off as you complete it, that way you will not forget anything. This also means that you are able to let everyone who is helping know which jobs you want them to do, and put their name next to the job.

Packing requires lots of boxes and tape, marker pens and padding for delicate items. Mark each box as you pack it, with the name of the room you would like it in, so it goes in the right place in the new house. The less directing the movers need the sooner you can begin to unpack.

If you have a small number of belongings you may be able to do the removals yourself, with the help of friends, using a hired van. The larger removal companies offer benefits though, enough people to complete the moving of your furniture and boxes. They can provide boxes and tape enough for the packaging of all your items, as well as people to pack up your home for you if you prefer. With insurance to cover any accidental damage to your belongings.

Make sure that you have informed your utility companies of your house move and give them the date you will be leaving. Look at the documents of your house sale, and determine whether there are any specific instructions as to whether the utilities should be left on or turned off.

Use the last hour in your old house for cleaning, this will allow you to make sure it is ready for the next owners or tenants. You will be able to check to make sure you have remembered everything. Even if the house you move into is spotless you may will still wipe shelves as you place your books. You may also have to clean the floor once everyone has left.

Hopefully, when the removal lorry was unpacked, the boxes and items went into the desired rooms and you can begin to unpack quickly. The kitchen is a good place to start, swiftly followed by the bathroom as they are the two rooms you will need last thing at night and first thing in the morning. Bedrooms are a good follow up room if it is getting late.

Having a packing party can be a great solution if you have lots of items to pack and not much time to do it in. Your friends and family can help, and shorten the time it takes, and you can provide some food and drink. Then either with the same friends or a different set, have an unpacking and moving in party which will hopefully get you settled faster.

With organization your packing and removals can be done quickly and efficiently, the utilities dealt with and everywhere cleaned. This means you are ready to travel to your new house sooner, to unpack and party.
