RELOCATING WISELY - KEY CHANGES TO PREPARE FOR A NEW HOME MOVE
Introduction
Preparation
- Create a moving plan. Before you start packing or cleaning, create a timeline of when and how you'll move. This way, you won't waste time and energy rushing around instead of concentrating on the actual move.
- Get an estimate for your move. Please find out how much it gonna cost to have a professional pack and clean your house, and compare prices before deciding which route to take.
- Keep your belongings safe. Make sure all of your belongings are boxed and wrapped securely to avoid any damage in transit.
- Consult with a relocation agent. A professional can help you with everything from packing to settling in after the move.
Cleaning
- Before bringing any furniture or electronics over, clean all surfaces with a mild soap and water solution. Don't use chemicals; they'll just make things harder to clean later.
- Wipe down all surfaces with a damp cloth. If the surface is particularly dirty or greasy, use a harsher cleaner like 409 or an ammonia-based cleaner. Be sure always to wear gloves and eye protection when using these cleaners.
- Once everything is clean, vacuum and mop floors if necessary. Make certain to clean up any spills instantly!
- If any areas require more thorough cleaning (like cabinets), take pictures before cleaning so you can compare them to see if you need to do more work.
Decorating
- Choose colors that represent your personality and style.
- Think about the style of decorating that you like and try to incorporate some of that into your new home.
- Consider using throw pillows, curtains, and artwork to bring a little bit of colour and life into your home.
- Choose furniture that is comfortable and fits the style of your home.
- Think about what you need in order to live comfortably in your new home and buy or borrow whatever you need to make it happen.
Organizing
- Get rid of any excess furniture or clutter. This will make your new home feel more spacious and allow you to move more easily.
- Create a checklist of all the items you'll need for your new home, including furniture, appliances, and decor. This will help you avoid running into trouble later on.
- Arrange your belongings in designated areas, so they're easy to find. This includes putting everything in its own container or closet, packing boxes carefully, and labelling every item with its new address.
- Create copies of necessary documents, such as your driver's license and insurance policies, so you don't have to lug them around. You can also put these copies in a safe place outside of your home.
- Get organized before you move to avoid any problems during the transition process. This includes setting up a calendar with all the upcoming deadlines and planning what tasks need to be done before each step of the move.
Making New Friends
Finding packers and movers
- Make a list of your belongings and their approximate weight. This will help you determine what kind of packing and moving services you'll need.
- Consider your budget. You don't want to overspend on services just because you're afraid of making a mistake or because you're feeling rushed. Remember that the more expensive the packer and movers, the better they'll be at protecting your belongings while moving them.
- Ask around. Friends, family, and colleagues may know of someone who help with your move- can don't be afraid to ask! Chances are, someone you know is already planning or has already completed a move themselves.
- Be prepared to answer questions about your move quickly and completely. Packer and movers will ask about everything from where your belongings will be stored during the move to what kind of trucking service you'll need.
