The Smart Move
So you’ve just pulled the trigger on the perfect property in the ideal location; now, all there is left to do is move in.
You’ve got a rough idea of where you would like things to go from your viewings and the property photos on the Summer Sky website. This is a significant first step in moving as you can then begin labeling boxes for items in each room to be placed in.
But you don’t have any spare boxes?
Boxes can be acquired for free by nicely asking local stores and businesses for any they want to discard.
Packing your belongings in boxes is a great opportunity to filter which items you wish to keep and which you want to release. Packaging an ‘essentials’ bag to take with you during the moving process is also an assurance measure. Online marketplaces such as Facebook, Shpock, Depop and Vinted are fantastic options to quickly sell unwanted goods before moving.
You’re putting your house in the back of a van… Make sure it’s the right one.
Whether borrowing a van from a family friend or hiring a removal company to do the leg work, ensure your possessions arrive safely.
Before you move, you should have informed all authorities, services and utilities that you will be moving. This can range from your online shopping delivery addresses to your electricity and gas suppliers. Don’t forget to tell friends and family; they may even lend a hand.
Moving house can be a very emotional time following weeks, months, and maybe even years of meticulous planning. Progress at your own pace, and remember to lift with your legs, not your back. It is advised to unpack your bed first and treat yourself to your new local takeaway. After all, you’ve earnt it!
