Moving house can be an extremely costly and stressful experience. It often means you invest a considerable amount of time, energy and money, so when you’re looking for removalist you need an experienced and professional team to ensure a smooth transition.

Here are some handy hints and tips which will help to make your move relatively stress-free.

Quotes

There’s no shortage of choice for removalists and since many have similar services available, getting a variety of quotes is the first step in choosing which company suits your particular needs. A broad cross sample of quotes will help you determine which company will be right for you with regard to both service and cost. A thorough selection process will mean you are ensuring the best price possible for your move. Since cheap movers can become costly if you don’t factor in the ‘hidden costs’, always ask for fully itemised quotes so you know exactly what you are paying for. No Worries Removals will move you quickly and efficiently with no damage, delays or hidden costs which will ultimately save you money.

Cover

With some simple steps, you can ease your mind when choosing which removalists to use.

  • Ask for personal referrals from family and friends
  • References provided by shortlisted removalists
  • Take out Insurance cover
  • Assess level of experience in the removalists team
  • Other services available, such as furniture handling, packing and storage
  • Claims policy covering damage to belongings occurred in transit

Compile a thorough checklist

Comprehensive planning and prioritising will save you time and effort throughout the moving process. When you’ve determined a move date, work backwards and construct a clear plan, remember to include your change of address procedures. Don’t forget the bills! Take time out to sort out the boring things, like settling utility bills and organising or confirming your services in the new property. Cancel insurances or edit policies to reflect your new address.

  • Begin packing early and keep focussed on the job at hand.
  • Take out insurance to cover your home contents while in transit.
  • Have an advance plan for placement of your furniture in your new home.
  • Use this opportunity to simplify your life. Get rid of (sell, donate or recycle) things that you don’t need. Even if the new place is no smaller, decluttering your life of physical items can have profound effects on your mental and emotional energy, not to mention meaning you have less stuff to move.
  • Keep a notebook recording all items in each box, including those inevitable ‘everything’ boxes.
  • Pack heavy items in small boxes and light items in large boxes, mark each box with designated room and contents.
  • Wrap all breakables individually.
  • Fill each box completely to avoid crushing when stacked.
  • Dismantle large furniture, taping on any nuts/bolts in a plastic bag.
  • Tape gardening tools together for ease of handling and empty all flammable liquids from tools
  • Don’t pack valuables, passports or jewellery. Keep these with you until you reach your new home.
  • It’s a great idea to pack a ‘moving‐in’ box containing tea, coffee, teaspoons, t‐towel, mugs, sugar, kettle for use on the day.
  • If you have pets, leave them with a friend on moving day. Moving can be a stressful time for pets and you don’t want them to go missing during your house move.

Moving house and settling into a new home can be an quite stressful and is a monumental task to undertake if you are not sufficiently prepared, both physically and mentally but if you’re organised and remain positive, moving can be an exciting adventure in this new chapter of your life.
