Moving into a new home, whether it's freshly renovated or temporary accommodations while your dream renovation is underway, can be an exhilarating experience. Yet, before you celebrate with housewarming parties, there's the big move to tackle. To ensure this process runs smoothly, HomeRenoGuru compiles some proven strategies in our ultimate moving guide.
Hire Professionals, or Lean on Your Fris
When it comes down to shifting your belongings from one home to another, managing it yourself can lead to unexpected challenges and backbreaking efforts. Unless you have a fri with access to a truck or van, consider professional services if feasible within your budget. Alternatively, gather as many fris as possible and reward their effort with pizza, beer or any IOU favours.
Update Contact Information
Before the relocation process kicks off, notify banks, insurance companies, gyms, and other private organizations of your new address detls through online platforms. Convenience is key – no more chasing lost ml from your old dwelling weeks or months later.
For government authorities, utilize the convenient One-Stop Change of Address Reporting Service OSCARS. Simply visit a local police station with required identification to update your records efficiently.
Gather Your Packing Essentials
Stockpile boxes, bags, bubble wrap, Ziploc bags, adhesive tape, and markers. These will streamline your packing process while saving you time later on when unpacking is required.
Labelling your belongings can't be underestimated – mark the room they belong in followed by a brief description of their contents – e.g., 'Living RoomCushions', 'KitchenWine Glasses', 'BathroomWeight Scales Hrdryer'.
Room-by-Room and Cupboard-by-Cupboard Approach
Start with the smallest steps – tackle one cabinet in each room at a time. Systematically break down larger tasks into manageable parts.
Be decisive about your belongings, keeping only essentials for the new house while donating or disposing of unused items like old T-shirts, tracksuits, and knickers that can be repurposed as cleaning rags.
Empty Your Kitchen Before Moving
To minimize fuss in two weeks before moving day, stock up on basic groceries instead of relying on supermarkets. Get creative with your meals to use up pantry staples and refrigerators.
Electrical Snapshots for Future Reference
When packing and connecting electrical appliances at your new home, it's easy to forget which cable goes to what socket or port. Snap photos as a reference guide before disconnecting the cables; they will save you significant stress later on.
Final Clean-Up Tools
Once your house is empty, bask in the spaciousness of the space, then prepare for the final cleaning round. Invest in new cleaning tools and liquids and transfer any unused ite your new home – it's the perfect time to utilize old T-shirts and absorbent materials.
