Top Ten Tips For Your Next Move

Planning a home or office move can be very stressful as you are moving so the following ten tips are designed to help you plan and execute your move in the least stressful and most comfortable way.

1. Make a Moving Schedule - Once you know when it’s time to make a list of all the things you need to do, up until you arrive in your new place. It is surprising how busy the last days up to moving day will be.

2. Consider whether to move yourself or hire a moving company. This really depends on how busy you are, the stuff you have and where you will be moving to. Do you have someone to help you with a van hire.

3. Get rid of anything you no longer require, there is little point in cluttering up your new environment with junk. Think about having a garage sale or giving unwanted items to relatives and friend. Maybe a trip to the recycling center is in order.

4. Make a good floor plan of where to put things in the new place and pack accordingly. Mark all boxes and packages with their contents and destination so it is easy to place them in the right areas.

5. Use your floor plan to decide where the furniture and fitting will go before you move so you can be sure your furniture will fit in the new place.

6. If you are having movers do the job for you, remember that they will not disconnect anything that is hard wired in, they normally will not touch anything that is flammable, perishables like plants or food items. So you have to make arrangements for those.

7. Running out of soft packaging materials for glasses, crockery and other breakables as well as packing boxes, bags and tape is a normal problem that happens when packing so get plenty in early.

8. Pack a Survival Kit with all your essentials like medication, ID’s, keys and important papers, etc. Include snacks and the making for tea or coffee, toiletries and such then make sure you keep this with you. Think about what time of day you will arrive at the new place, will it be late at night and you will just want to go to sleep do you have a bed and sheets etc ready.

9. Try and give yourself a few days to do the things necessary to make your new place ready to move into before the move day. It is much easier to clean and paint if needed while it’s empty.

10. It makes things flow much easier if you do all the address changing and finalise the service agreements for the gas, power phone, internet and cable long before you move so they finish when you move out and start at the same time in your new place.

By giving yourself time to make a plan of how your move will go and taking care of all the different arrangements that are needed, including making an early booking for your van hire on The Gold Coast your move will go smoothly with as little stress as possible.
