Plan Ahead Your Vacations

Moving at the weekend will cost you much more than during the week. Therefore, if you have vacation days left, you should book a few and start planning your moving date. Once you know when the new property will be available, you can start negotiating with your buyers and ordering boxes for the house move. The good news is that you don’t have to do all your packing in one day: spend a few nights getting the things you will not need until you move packed away.

Let People Know

You should also let people know about your move on time. If you have insurance on the house, let the company know that you are moving, and get some quotes in for the new property. Likewise, once you moved, having your car insurance registered at the old address will not help you make a claim. Let all your financial service providers and suppliers know about your move on time, or use an online service to do this for you. Order your mail redirection service, so you are not missing out on important documents.

Start Decluttering Early

The sooner you start getting rid of items you don’t want to take with you to the new place the more space you will have to stack your boxes. You can order waste removal services or bins at allpointswasteservice.com and get your unused items taken away and safely disposed of. The less clutter you have in the house the better you can organize the items you want to take.

Stay Safe

It is important that you make sure your insurance is valid while you are at the new house, and as soon as you have moved into the old one. If the home is likely to be empty for a couple of days, it is best to let your insurance company know. Alternatively, you could ask your neighbors to check on the house or park their car in your drive while you are away.

Hire Your Van for the Day

While you might want to get a removal company for taking the heaviest items away, you can also hire a van that you can use before the moving date to remove the things you will no longer need. You don’t have to move house in one day; take your time and stay organized.

To stay on top of your house moving tasks, get organizing early and decluttering your home. Stay safe by letting your insurance companies know about your move and your old house being left empty if it will be for longer than a week.
