What Is Needed In Moving House

By Adriana Noton


There are any things to be organized when you are moving house. You must pack up all of your belongings and organize what is to go where. Then there is the removals and making sure utility companies know you will be moving. The house will need a clean and then there is the swapping of the keys. Finally you get to do the unpacking, which could be accomplished faster with friends.

The first thing you should do is get organized and make a list of what needs to be done. You can tick each item off as you complete it, that way you will not forget anything. This also means that you are able to let everyone who is helping know which jobs you want them to do, and put their name next to the job.

If you do one room at a time, and pack everything in that room before moving onto the next, it will make unpacking much easier. Lots of boxes and tissue paper or bubble wrap for delicate items will be needed, as well as brown tape and marker pens. Write the name of the room the box is destined for clearly on the box, so that the movers know where to put it when they unload.

If you do not want to pack up your own house you could consider a removal company who will do it for you. They will provide the boxes and other packaging materials and offer insurance to cover any damages. If however you have only a few things to move, you may be able to do the removal yourself with a hire van and some friends.

The utilities companies you have been using should be told that you are moving house, so they know where to send your last bill. It is often the case that the documentation for the sale requests that the utilities are not turned off when you leave, and you should be sure to make note of such details.

It is nice to move into a house which is clean, and as you expect the owners of the house you move into to have cleaned, the people buying your house will expect you to have done the same. It is a good way of making sure that everything in your house has been packed as you clean around the property.

Unpack your most needed items first, kitchen for tea and coffee making and the bathroom, then bedrooms and other rooms. If the boxes were marked when you packed up, you should find them in the right place. This means that if it gets too late, you can find the items you will need first thing in the morning, and only unpack the things you need. Remove the packaging from each room as you work and it will seem like a quicker job.

Having a packing party can be a great solution if you have lots of items to pack and not much time to do it in. Your friends and family can help, and shorten the time it takes, and you can provide some food and drink. Then either with the same friends or a different set, have an unpacking and moving in party which will hopefully get you settled faster.

With organization your packing and removals can be done quickly and efficiently, the utilities dealt with and everywhere cleaned. This means you are ready to travel to your new house sooner, to unpack and party.
