Things to do A Week Before You Move

Ella Andrews, Guest Writer

If you have already decided to move to a new place you should first consider a few things that might help you move out without problems.

· First, try to figure out the details of your removal at least a week before the time comes so you know exactly how many and what kind of materials you should use to pack your belongings, which removal company you should employ and so on. It is very important to know when you are going to sort, pack and prepare your things for the relocation, because it will be up to you to decide how to fit your removal with all the rest going on in your life in this important moment. You don’t want to lose valuable time to think about boxes and bubble wrap when you have to deal with the details of your new job, for example, right? Also it will be up to you to arrange your removal in the most suitable and fast way possible. That is why you should make a moving checklist, look for the proper materials or search for a moving company during that time. You will be surprised how many things you should look after before you can even begin sorting your things. If you begin arranging all the details for your relocation early on, you will be free to look after more important things when the time comes to move out.

· Second, you should try to figure out possible problems you will have beforehand. For example if you have bulky or heavy desks or wardrobes, you should look for furniture removals and where to get a moving truck. Do not postpone it till the last moment. The earlier you book the moving company the better. You will not want to lose your time worrying for your furniture when you could have far more important things to do. It is also not wise totry moving furniture yourself because you might not have the proper transport and you might even damage your car if you are not careful. Some items may actually be heavier than they look and even if you manage to somehow load them in your vehicle, you might have been better off with a simple house removal. Try finding an appropriate moving vehicle instead of risking major incidents.

· The earlier you start searching for the appropriate materials for your removal the less work you will have to do when the time comes. Also look for some friends or family to help you or if you do not have enough assistance, use the services of a removal company. Actually, if you get tired planning and making lists of so many things you have to do or simply you do not have time on your hands using removal services is a better option. Thus, there will be someone to take care of the problems that can arise and you could rest leaving the heavy lifting to a team of professional house movers. But, if you want to do it yourself, than at least a week earlier you should have already been to the stores and found the most appropriate boxes, bubble wrap, and tape you need for packing. Do not be fooled by the look of some articles or advertisements. Make a short list of exactly what and why you need it and follow it carefully. Don’t be disturbed by the marketing strategy of the store and get what you need, not what they are trying to sell you.
In the end, do not get disturbed if your apartment looks like a storage unit with boxes, bubble wrap and tape all over it. This actually means that you are almost ready and there will actually be almost nothing left to do on the removal day than simply – to move out.
