7 Useful Tips for a Stress Free Move

Moving can be an exciting new step, but it also comes with loads of stress and planning. If it's your first time or if you've moved houses a lot, with the right preparations you can make sure your move goes a lot smoother. Below we share 7 useful tips to make sure you have an easy transfer to the new place.

1. Start Planning on Time

Good planning is key for a successful move. Make an overview of everything that has to be prepared, like ending the lease on the old place or passing on all your address changes and scheduling a moving company. Start this at least 6 weeks in advance.

2. Clean Up and Organize

Moving is the perfect time to organize your stuff. Sell, donate or recycle items which you no longer use. The less stuff you have to move, the easier the move will be.

3. Make Sure Everything is Packed

Pack all your belongings carefully before the moving day. Start with the items you don't use daily and work systematically from room to room. Use sturdy boxes and make sure you properly pack all fragile items. All items which are small enough to fit, can best be packed in moving boxes. Bigger items can be wrapped with seal foil for protection. Do you still have the box of your electronic devices? Use this to move the devices. We also offer packing services for our customers.

4. Pack an 'Emergency Suitcase'

Keep essentials like toiletries, clothing, chargers, and important documents nearby in a separate bag or suitcase. This will ensure you will have everything you need within reach, even if not everything is unpacked yet.

5. Measure the New Place

Check the measurements from all the doors, halls and rooms in your new place to make sure all large furniture fits in the new place. This prevents any unwanted surprises on the moving day. If some items don't fit through the staircase, you might find a solution by using a moving lift or block and tackle.

6. Arrange a Parking Space

Make sure there is enough parking space for a moving van, as close as possible to your front door. This will save time and energy. Check out our article for parking permits for more information about this.

7. Plan a Clean Up Day After the Move

After the move, take a day to relaxingly unpack everything and arrange your new place. If you give items a place, your new place will feel like home in no time.
