This is why we’ve put together some top tips that should help to make moving house as stress free as possible. Keep on reading to find out more and get inspired in no time.
Have all the legalities and legal bits sorted as soon as possible
From speaking with conveyancing solicitors to getting your home insurance sorted, there are a myriad of legalities that come with moving house. The last thing you want is to have everything piling up and be waiting around on officials to get things done. To avoid this from happening, get all the legalities sorted out sooner rather than later. The sooner you can get all these bits done and organized, the better it is all around. You will know it’s all in order, won’t be waiting around and can get on with the rest of the move.
Plan how you’re going to sort the space before you move
Prior to moving, it’s a good idea to have an idea of how you’re going to sort the space. Think about whether you need rooms in different areas – such as for the kids to play or office space – and how you’re going to do this. There are many apps on the market that can help you plan ahead of time, such as floorplans or even 3D reconstructions of what your space will look like once you’ve added your furniture. Remember to hold off and try not to buy too much new furniture before you move in case it doesn’t fit in the space, but having an idea of what you want can really help speed the process along.
Get as much help on the day as you can
Moving house is no easy feat, so the more hands you can have on deck, the better. By having more people to help, you can have some people moving boxes, some building furniture, and others cleaning your new place. This can really speed your day up and mean you have a more relaxing space in no time. Try to get someone to watch any children or pets you have, too, as this can ensure they’re out of harm’s way, and you can just focus on the job at hand.
These are just a few tips that should help make moving house a bit more stress-free. While moving is never going to be an absolute breeze for most of us, there are things you can do (such as the above) that can help to make it that bit easier.
