Top mistakes new home movers make revealed!

When you move into your own place for the first time, you suddenly have a lot to think about and it’s understandable that certain tasks might fall by the wayside, or certain items get forgotten.

In fact, The Sun recently shared research from British Gas which found that 42% of people admitted they weren’t fully prepared for moving out when they first left home. The survey also highlighted some of the top mistakes new home movers make, including forgetting to buy loo roll and bin bags, as well as shrinking clothes in the wash and running out of washing up liquid.

Having helped hundreds of people move home, whether to properties they’ve purchased or from rental to rental homes, we certainly understand that you want to get your new life in your new abode off to a good start.

This is why it’s worth seeking the assistance of a removals company in Westbourne, Bournemouth, Winton, Ferndown, Ringwood, Poole or elsewhere in the South West to help you get settled.

If you’re moving between rental properties (or moving into your first rental property) it can be highly beneficial to have a team of trained professional movers to help you get all your belongings and furniture into your new home without any mishaps.

We use full house protection kits whenever we carry out a move, which means that not only are your pieces of furniture and other belongings well protected, but so too are the walls, floors and doorways of your new home. This means there won’t be any unsightly scuffs or marks that could affect your deposit when you come to move out.

This is even more important when you’re moving out of smaller properties, like flats, where there might be lifts and multiple flights of stairs to navigate as well as the usual obstacles. If you don’t feel you need our full flat removals service, it’s still worth contacting us as we are happy to help you choose the correct packing materials for your move.

Wales Online shared some of the most common mistakes people make when preparing for a move, with not wrapping and packing belongings properly one of the pitfalls to watch out for.
