Moving House: Don't Tear Your Hair Out!

Moving house is one of the top three stressful things a person will do in their life

. The combination of the buying and selling process, finalising bills, extra expenses, as well as packing up everything into boxes is time consuming and requires a lot of organisation. Being well prepared is the best way to tackle moving house, here are some tips to help reduce the stress and panic that comes with this experience:

-Many hands make light work of course so get friends and family to help you pack everything up.

-Be ruthless and throw out anything that you do not need, it is easy just to throw everything in one box, but it will make things a lot easier when it comes to unpacking in your new house if you have got rid of all that junk that you have been storing up.

-Prepare yourself proper boxes for packing, as well as getting bubble wrap to wrap all your valuables.

-If you don't want to throw things out, make a bit of money at the same time and take all of your old bits and pieces to a car boot sale. You may even be able to pick up some quirky items for your new place!

-Label all your boxes properly; this will also make things easier when you are unpacking in your new house.

-Do your research on removal companies and choose the one which is most suitable for you. Some companies will pack for you, but most removal companies will just load your things, transport them and then unload them in your new place.

-International removal companies are very important to research as there is a lot more to consider in these situations. There are often customs rules and red tape regulations when moving abroad but many removal companies will sort all of this for you, so this is definitely something to look for when choosing the right company. International removal companies should be a part of FIDI, the Federation Internationale des Demenageurs Internationaux. FIDI is the largest global alliance of independent quality international removal companies and has a strict guideline of requirements that must be met in order to join. Therefore for the best quality service your international removal company should be part of this group.

So get you markers ready, scissors, brown masking tape, black rubbish bags, friends, family, children and boxes at the ready to pack everything up and let the removal company do the rest!
