Start Packing Now

However many weeks or months you have until moving day, it’s worth starting the packing process as soon as possible. You can start small, with the items you’re unlikely to need to use between now and when you arrive at your new abode. Things like photos, art, books, and ornaments are a great place to start, and they’ll probably need extra packing around them to protect them from damage during the move, so it’ll be one less stress to worry about nearer the time. The internet is an excellent resource if you are looking for a local removalist and you’ll be able to find a reputable company if you book them early enough. Therefore, you should sort your removalists out as soon as you have a set date, and you can begin to work out how much they’ll need to take for you. You can also look into storing your boxes and furniture nearer your new home, especially if you’re unsure of a date, or if things change; preparation is key to alleviating stress. Also, if you have a second or third car that you will need relocating, firms similar to CarsArrive Auto Relocation can relocate them to your new home for you. You could even have them relocate your vehicle to a storage unit close to your new home, so you don’t have to worry about it on the day of your move.

What You’ll Need On Arrival

On the days leading up to the move; it’s worth writing out an itinerary so that you can stick to a schedule, and focus on something other than people coming in and out of your property to drop off boxes. It’s also worth putting together a box and a couple of suitcases that contain what you’ll need for the first couple of days in your new place. You’ll probably want a coffee and something to eat pretty soon after the removal company has left, so pack your kitchen essentials into a clearly labelled container. Pack a suitcase as you would for vacation; put your essential toiletries and the clean clothes you’ll want to wear during the unpacking process so that you don’t have to rifle through everything for the days ahead. It’s also worth having clean towels, sheets, and bedding in a bag you can easily grab so that when you’re shattered after the move, washing and sleeping is a breeze. Prepare as much as you can now, and you’ll have a smooth move to look forward to.

    Very good to have is also a family member or good friend, who takes care of food and drink for the day … one less thing to think of.
