label your boxes

Picture this it’s moving day the boxes and the furniture are being loaded on to the van for transport to your new home stress level are reducing and it seems the big day is going smoothly. Fast forward a few hours and imagine the feeling in your belly when you look at all the boxes which have been put in various rooms and you don’t know what is in them or even if they are in the correct room. This is a very common situation which clients find themselves in and it can put hours and days on the unpacking of items when it simply could of been avoided by a simple solution called labelling (kitchen, Living room, bedroom you get the idea) a small procedure which can save time and even relationships when you are in the mist of the unpacking of boxes.

Using Wardrobe Boxes For Your Clothes

Wardrobe boxes are a very good idea for hanging yours clothes up while in transit when moving house it saves a lot of time when unpacking just take them straight out of the box and back into your wardrobe without any ironing needed unlike if you use bin liners then most certainly you would need to iron everything

Dont pack the kettle when moving house

The amount of times I hear these words "sorry mate I've packed the kettle or I would of made you a cuppa" Its much nicer when we get stuck in to moving the furniture while breaking into a bit of a sweat and then about half an hour in you hear those magic words "do you want a cuppa lads" then you can sit down for 5 minutes while having a chat with the client.

 

MOVING HOUSE PACKING KITS

If your moving house and you have decided to do the packing yourself and your not sure of how many boxes to buy or how many rolls of tape you will need. Then you could end up wasting money on boxes and tape you may not need. There is a solution you could purchase a moving house packing kit and these can be purchased from most packing companies and normally come in a range of 2 bedroom house packing kit or a 3 bed etc. and if you run out of boxes or tape at least you will have a good idea of how many more you will need.

Moving house

. 

options for moving house DIY or removal company?

1.      Hire a removal company to do all the lifting and packing if you require

2.      Hire a man and van with the option of a man  helping or not helping

3.      Hire a van and do it yourself and pray you helpers turn up

None of  these options are the right or wrong way of moving house so you could base your decision on how much time you have and if you are confidant with lifting heavy items also your budget for the move.

Moving to a new area

Thinking of moving to a new area? here is a basic list of things to consider before the big step

· housing options

· housing prices

· crime rates

· job opportunities

· schools

Also it would be a good idea to visit the chosen area at various times and visit the local shops and restaurants.

Tips for Packing Boxes When Moving House

When your  packing your boxes for moving house just remember that on moving day somebody will have to lift them so don't pack them to heavy and try and buy three different sizes of box  large, medium and small. Only use the large boxes for really light items and always pack the boxes to the top so when they are stacked for storage or in the removal truck they don't collapse crushing the items inside.

The Declutter

When you start packing its wise to maybe do a declutter as well either before you start packing or at least while you are packing so if clothes have not been worn for at least a year they can be taken to a charity shop or on the car boot pile , if there's is an item gathering dust or you find your tripping over every single morning when legging it for the loo then it needs to go, and remember you can make money on your unwanted items to go towards the moving cost.

Start Packing

Start packing for the move even if the date is not set and start with the spare room or a cupboard that isn't used very often this will save precious time later on, also don't forget the loft there may be some empty boxes in there from the last move you can make use of. Once the spare room is packed then that room can be used as storage where all the full boxes can be stored.
