Regardless of whether you are planning, an intrastate move or a local move, planning and preparing is key to keeping it stress-free!
When executing a house move, there are things which you must DO to make it seamless, secure and safe. As well as, there are a number of things you should NOT DO to avoid any trouble or inconveniences. Simply put; a house relocation involves far too many critical decisions, but in this post below; you will learn about those key Dos and Don’ts in details.
First The Dos:-
DO- Look to pack early. The last thing you want is to be in a rush when packing, labelling and keeping track of which box contains what! With time at hand; you can systematically pack them and make it ready for transfer.
DO- Look to make ample use of plastic sheets, bubble wraps, butcher paper to cover your upholstery cushions, couches and bedding. This will safeguard it from soiling or scratches.
DO- Use double wall corrugated board cartons that are durable to box your items furnishings and accessories. A common mistake many make is opting for single wall cardboard boxes. But this is not ideal as your items may fall apart during the move. Plus, it also makes it difficult for your chosen removalists to handle your items.
DO- Make sure that you take out comprehensive insurance coverage from your insurance company to protect your items during the move. Alternatively; you can even discuss with your moving company about their coverage options- if anything goes awry during the move.
DO- Declutter your entire place and get rid of items you don’t use. You can either look to sell it off or donate it to those in need.
DO- Label all your storage boxes accurately. This will make it easier to handle them on the move day.
Then The Don’ts:-
DON’T- Look to pack everything inside boxes or plastic zippers. Ensure you have essentials such as your phone charger, emergency kit or cleaning materials, at hand. You never know when a spill can happen. Look to pack them at last.
DON’T- try and use plastic on wooden furniture. This is more so when your new location is at a considerable distance. It can damage, swell and rot the wood.
DON’T- Try and lift heavy boxes. Wait for the professionals to arrive or do it with the help of your mate. Solely doing it can give rise to a rather unappreciative backache.
DON’T- Leave valuables, toys or any sharp objects lying around. This could result in a bad fall and a serious injury.
DON’T – Forget to perform a final walk-through to affirm if everything is loaded on to the truck.
