Going Continental: Making the Move to Europe

Moving house - Life is suddenly worryingly abundant in lists

, tasks, chores, deadlines, options, post-it notes, scribbled addresses, bills and contracts! It's enough to put anyone off the whole thing really

Moving from the UK to Europe can be a mixed bag of anticipation and anxiety. However here are a few pointers to consider when organising the most prominent practical task the move!

Notifications

Make a list (yes, another list) that includes utilities, banks, former employer (for tax purposes), doctor, dentist, medical specialists, local council and post office. Notifying the pertinent people and organisations is imperative in terms of simple, organised life administration. This is also a great time to set an insurance policy in place for the great move.

Moving Day

Be there. With the best will in the world, the foreman of removal company is not moving his own possessions he doesn't know what's fragile, what to pack first, what to put on top of what etc. Giving polite direction to removal staff is the best way to ensure possessions are safe and appropriately cared for. Obtaining a copy of the inventory sheet is crucial (be sure to double check notes concerning existing damage)

In terms of invoicing, most removal companies provide individual fuel cards or fleet cards to their employees. Fuel cards mean that all fuel costs pertaining to the epic drive are transparent. A quick check to see how a chosen removal company finalises their invoice is great for peace of mind.

Keep valuables with safe during the move-in process, as much for peace of mind as anything.

Arrival

Keeping the necessary tools for moving in and a box of essentials (toilet paper etc) in the car is advisable, as the removals van may not arrive at the exact same time as its client.
