Hire a removals company

One of the first things you need to look into when moving is a removals company you can trust. A removal firm will help with everything from packing up your old home to getting everything safely transported to your new one. They will then help you with unpacking and can offer tips and advice to make the whole process so much smoother.

Have someone look after your children and pets

While you love your children and pets and want them to be involved in every aspect of your life, a moving day is one where you should try to find somewhere else for them to be. Moving can be difficult enough, without having to worry about what they’re doing, if they are safe, or if they are amused. Whether you can get them with a family member, friend or a professional for the day, you will all feel a lot happier knowing they’re occupied somewhere else.

Have a box of essentials ready for when you get into your new place

Get together a box of essentials for things you will need when you move. This should include things like scissors and a tool kit for unpacking boxes and putting bits of furniture together. It should also have things like tea bags, coffee, a kettle, some mugs and some light snacks to keep you going - moving is hard work! This way, you’re not digging through every box trying to find a glass so you can have some water after you’ve been lugging boxes around the place. 

These are just a few things you can do to make a house move less stressful. Whether you’re moving because you’ve expanded your family, because you’ve got a different budget, or to follow a job, the fundamentals are still the same. You want a removal company you know you can trust to help you take your things, to have your children and pets out of the way so it’s one less thing to worry about, and a box of essentials for when you get to your new home.
