Moving home can often be stressful, so we've put together a quick guide that covers some of the things you need to tick off during the process.
Depending on when you’re planning to move, you may struggle to book in a date. Most people aim to move at the weekends or over the holidays to give themselves extra time.
Picking a removals team might seem simple compared to all the other choices you’ve had to make, but it’s important to pick professionals. To avoid damage to items or the property, or paying more than you expected, it’s important to do some research.
There can be a lot to remember on the run up to your move. To avoid stress, make a list of everything you have to do and consider your timelines.
You may have only just had your offer accepted and be months away from completion, but that doesn’t mean you should wait until the week before your move to start the preparation.
Clearing your home of any old, unwanted or unnecessary items before the big move can save you time, stress and money.
By donating or throwing away things you don’t need, you’re cutting down on the amount of stuff you actually need to move. The less stuff you have, the smaller the van and the fewer hours your removals team is needed for.
Packing may take longer than you think so it’s best to get ahead of the game on this. When you’ve cleared away everything you no longer need, the best place to start is in the rooms you use the least.
A top tip is to label each box with the room you intend it to go in and bullet point a few of the items in there so you know what it includes.
Don’t forget to put the kettle, biscuits and tea stuff somewhere easily accessible so you and the movers can have a brew on arrival.
There are plenty of things to consider when you get a mortgage. One is life insurance.
