Moving Home

Moving Home can be one of the most stressful activities that you experience. To make it a bit easier, plan it well. Take note of the following tips:

• Get Quotes from at least 3 removal companies.
• Don’t make your choice based on price alone – seek references or ask friends that may have used a company in the past.
• Do some de-cluttering and get rid of all of that old stuff that you are never going to use again. Take it to the charity shop.
• Packing your own boxes can save you money (the company will often provide boxes).
• Make sure you inform all utility companies, your bank and credit card firms of your new address. You should maybe let your friends and family know also!
• Have you checked the sizes of the new rooms – will your existing furniture fit? If not, don’t take it.
• Book your phone line and broadband change-over well in advance. Keep vital items to hand when you move. Have a box ready with all of the things you will need for the 1st day or so. Don’t forget the kettle!
• Label boxes clearly and what room they are to go in on arrival at your new home.
• Make sure you don’t forget your belongings in the attic, garage or garden shed.
