Moving house can be a daunting task, especially when you’re relocating to a new area. There are a lot of things to remember, pack and change, but also a lot to celebrate!
We’ve created a list of moving house tips to make it as stress-free as possible.
Creating a list of things to do when moving house to keep track of all the important jobs.
This could include:
One of our top tips for moving house is to declutter your belongings. Go through your clothes, shoes, toiletries, and kitchenware, deciding what you truly need. Donate, sell, or recycle unwanted items to lighten your load - not everything needs to accompany you to your new home.
Avoid losing any of your paperwork and documents during your move by keeping them all together in a folder (both physical and digital). This might include your passport, birth/wedding certificates, insurance documents, as well as any utility contracts and moving documents.
Put an action plan together for how to pack your house to move. This can turn a daunting task into a more manageable one. Order your rooms and belongings by priority. What will you need first when you arrive at your new home? Pack an essentials box with everything you’ll need on your first night - tea and coffee, chargers, toiletries, etc.
Label each box with what’s inside and which room it belongs in. This will make unpacking much easier.
When your moving date is approaching, it’s important to think about who you need to inform. This will include your bank, employer and DVLA.
Also, don’t forget to contact your utility providers to let them know when you’re moving out of your current property and to your new address.
