This certainly makes moving your entire home difficult, as the problems and logistics involved in moving is enough to think twice about taking advantage of an available luxury townhome.
However, when the perfect townhome for rent becomes available in an affluent and growing neighborhood, you cannot pass the opportunity up. The next issue is simply packing up and moving; however, there are ways that you can make the logistical process as painless as possible. Moving to your new luxury townhome can seem like an ordeal at first, but if you make the right steps and take advantage of our moving tips than you have nothing to fear.
Step 1: Packing
Packing is mostly about protecting your possessions and conserving space. A lot can happen in between your current home and your new luxury townhome. It is up to your packing job to ensure that your possessions are safe and efficiently moved. A good rule of thumb is to pack larger/heavier objects into smaller boxes and pack smaller/delicate objects together into larger boxes (with sufficient padding). The aim here is to provide adequate protection for the items that need it most, while ensuring a relative balance in the weight distribution of your boxes.
Now is a great time to sort aside items that you will not need for the future. Worn furniture pieces or piles of used clothes with simply clutter your new luxury townhome. Host an impromptu garage sale or donate to free some space up and make your move easier.
Step 2: Moving Day
Time for the big day! In your moving truck, stack larger boxes on the back of the truck first, with heavier boxes on the ground. Moving blankets or larger towels (a cheaper alternative) will be useful for keeping the boxes clean in less than favorable weather, or for transporting furniture and appliances that need extra attention to maintain quality. If you have a pet, it would be a good idea to arrange for a day visit at a friend or familys home so that they dont get in the way or become over excited at all the activity and hurt themselves.
If youre working with a few trucks, make sure that each vehicle is following the same directions and has dependable lines of communication with each other. The last thing you want is to have half of your bedroom set end up across town while the movers clock is ticking. Also, have a general idea of what rooms you want to unload everything in to ensure a steady flow of work.
Step 3: If All Else Fails
hire a home mover! Simply hiring a moving crew will take much of the work and hassle out of moving into a townhouse for rent. Fall back to an organizational and supervisory position, and hire a crew to load and unload your moving van. While your crew handles the heavy lifting, you can get a head start on unpacking, decorating your luxury townhome, or even meet the neighbors.
Few people realize that the safety of their possessions is assured by insurance packages that movers are required to offer. Insurance can be granted in price-per-pound or value based increments, and the moving company will be liable for any damages that can occur. Ask to hear about all of a moving companys insurance options before you select your plan.
After a little bit of planning and sweat, you will be moved into your new luxury townhome in no time.
