Moving House Successfully

Planning ahead is the best thing you can do for a successful house move. Moving house is one of the most stressful times in anyone's life and can put a strain on relationships, not to mention on your back! Making the transition as smooth as possible involves a good amount of forward planning and always having a back-up plan. Here are some tips for making the move as painless as possible.

Firstly, book a reliable removal service. Moving furniture yourself is an admirable task to undertake but can also add immense amounts of pressure to the job ahead which you could probably do without. Try to find a removals company who come on the recommendation of friends or at least one who is a member of the British Association of Removers. Remember to book them at least two weeks in advance as they may be busy and try to give them an idea of how much stuff you are looking to shift.

You might also want to make a "moving checklist". Write down everything you can possibly think of that needs to be done in the lead up to your move. This will minimise the chances of forgetting something vital and also means you can add things as you go along. Prioritising things to do is also a very good idea.

Make sure to notify providers of your move as well. Letting various companies that you use know that you are moving ahead of time will ensure the process of changing home runs smoothly. Consider services and utilities providers such as your gas, water and electricity suppliers, and also TV, cable and internet services. A note to your doctor, optician and dentist can also be helpful, whilst keeping your car documents updated is a legal responsibility.

Finally, if you start packing non-essential items well before the day of your move you will cut down the risk of a last minute frenzied panic. Think carefully about which items you pack together, and remember to pack an 'essentials' box last, full of the things you will need on your first night in your new house such as a kettle, teas and coffees, plates and kitchen utensils. Practical advice such as not overloading large boxes and using sturdy packaging should also be heeded to avoid potential disaster.

Moving into a new home is time for a fresh start, so be ruthless with those items you no longer need or use and donate them to a charity where they will be put to much better use.
