Moving house is often a huge undertaking for many people and can often be the cause of stress. But while moving can take up a lot of time and cause an upheaval in our lives, there are certainly ways of simplifying the process to save time and money while keeping your stress levels in check.
Below are some easy ways to simplify your house move for an easier and more enjoyable experience.
Start planning
Do you know when you are moving? How are you going to move your things? How much is this move going to cost? Having a plan in mind before you do anything house move related can make all the difference when it comes to how smoothly the whole process will pan out.
Start by listing down all of the things you need to consider when it comes to moving house and then go from there. You’ll find that having a list to work to will ensure you don’t forget anything important along the way. This list can also give you a framework of time within which to carry out each task and in which order as well as how much budget you allocate towards each task.
Cull unwanted items
Moving all of your belongings from one place to another will take up a lot of time and energy. One way you can reduce the time and effort that you spend packing your belongings and then relocating them over to your new address is by culling or getting rid of items you no longer need or want before you begin the packing process.
Having fewer possessions to begin with will definitely streamline your move so it’s best to kickstart the whole moving process by first donating, giving away or selling your unwanted things.
Grab packing supplies
Head on down to your local office supply or hardware store and grab some packing supplies. Having all of these items on hand and ready when you need them while you’re packing is an easy way to ensure you stay on track and won’t have to interrupt yourself to buy any supplies you are missing.
Below is a list of packing supplies to consider purchasing:
- Moving boxes
- Strong packing tape
- Textas for labelling boxes
- Mattress & couch protectors
- Bubble wrap
- Scissors
- Packing knife/box cutters
Pack ahead of moving day
Give yourself plenty of time to pack your belongings so that by the time moving day comes around, you won’t be stuck with the stress of last minute packing before the removalist arrives. Besides, completing this task ahead of moving day means you’ll be likely to save yourself time and money because the removalists won’t have to jump in and help out with packing in the event you’ve run out of time.
Organise a babysitter
Moving house is a time consuming process as it is, let alone if you have kids or pets to look after while you pack and organise your move. If you’re really pushed for time and could do with less distractions, it might be worth organising family members or friends to look after your pets or children to give you the uninterrupted time and space to get the necessary things done ahead of your move.
Hire professionals to help
Who says you have to do it all by yourself? Having help on hand when you need it can make all the difference when it comes to working to a house move deadline. Furniture removalist companies offer some helpful and cost-effective services including furniture pre-packing, furniture removal and furniture storage services for those of us who need extra help with moving our belongings.
Also when hiring a professional, be sure to do your research first and compare services.
