What you can do to reduce the stress of moving home in a pandemic

As if moving home wasn’t stressful enough, we now have a global pandemic to contend with that has made many areas of life feel more challenging or stressful than before. That’s also the case with moving home – which is why our team at Removals Unlimited is on hand to help.

Research conducted by Just Move In, a home setup and utility management firm, and reported by Letting Agent Today, revealed that 52% of people believe moving house is one of the most stressful life events, with 28% saying that moving home is more stressful than childbirth.

When asked about the specific elements of moving home that they found stressful, almost half (49%) of respondents to the survey said that packing was the activity that made their stress levels increase the most.

If that’s how you feel about your forthcoming move, it is certainly worth contacting the friendly and reliable team at Removals Unlimited about our full packing service. We can take a lot of the weight off your shoulders by packing your belongings professionally and securely for the journey to your new home, whether you’re travelling from Westbourne to Christchurch, or moving your whole life from London to Bournemouth.

Of course, there is now the added stress of the pandemic and doing what you can to prevent the spread of the virus, but we’ve got that covered for you too.

Another way to reduce the stress of moving home is to get assistance with dismantling and reassembling furniture. Our team are thoroughly trained in dismantling and reassembling all manner of furniture items, even without instructions, so let us take some of the stress off your shoulders on moving day. After all, there’s nothing better than sinking into your own bed that first night in your new home, rather than making do with a mattress on the floor!

Making sure you arrange your removal services for your house move as soon as possible is another way to reduce stress. Research from Aviva recently revealed that two million people in the UK bought a home unexpectedly in 2020. If you’re among them, that may have given you less time to plan.

Among the main reasons for doing so were the need to move to a property with more space, to take advantage of the stamp duty holiday, because of a relationship breaking up, or due to deciding to move in with a partner.

It has certainly been a busy year for home moves.
