Top tips to make a move easier

It is well-known that moving home is one of the most stressful life events we can go through, especially when you are selling and purchasing the properties in question. As an article for iNews noted recently, there are many elements of the property purchasing process that can go wrong and have a significant effect not only on your ability to move but also on your physical and mental health.

The news provider noted that between one-quarter and one-third of property purchases in the UK fall through late in the process for a variety of reasons. This only serves to make moving even more stressful, so what steps can you take to make your move easier?

GoErie recently offered some tips and, here at Removals Unlimited, we think it’s a great idea to follow the simple advice of planning as much of your move as you can as far in advance as possible.

At the top of the list is to book a removals company as far in advance as you can. In fact, the publication recommends getting in touch with a removals firm as soon as you have your moving date to book their services.

You can always get in touch with companies in advance to seek quotes, so that once you have a firm date you are ready to book your preferred removals team. We offer a free, no-obligation quote for our moving services, and we are always happy to discuss your move, so there is no need to hold off on contacting us until you’re almost ready for the big day itself.

Another top tip is to make a floor plan of your new home and plot out where you want all of your furniture to go in each room. This will not only mean you are able to visualise life in your new abode more easily, but will also make moving day easier. If you share your floor plan with your removals team, they can ensure your furniture is positioned according to your wishes from day one – no need to shuffle heavy items of furniture around over the coming days and weeks as you settle in!

If you’re dreading the thought of packing for your move in Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole or beyond, consider using our full packing service. We will come to your house a day ahead of your move to ensure that all your possessions are safely and securely packed using appropriate materials, thereby making your moving day run even more smoothly.

Depending on the nature of your move and how many items you have to pack, we can arrange to come to your home a few days before your move too, so you can rest assured that everything will be ready to go on the big day.

It can certainly help if you declutter your property before you move, however, as this will mean there are less boxes to transport and that you’re not paying more than you need to for removal services.
