You will also no doubt be appalled to realize how many belongings you have gathered through the years once you start thinking of packing everything. Making use of a removals and storage company will safe you a lot of hassle in this regard.
Firstly most of these companies will offer a packing service. You can make an arrangement with them to come in and pack your stuff a day or two before the actual move. They will bring their own packing material and their staff should normally be well-trained for the job to ensure nothing gets broken or damaged.
This will allow you to concentrate your efforts on the long list of things that has to be done before you can move. There are no doubts accounts that have to be paid, water and electricity services that should be canceled, library books to be returned and arrangements to be made for the children to transfer to a new school. Packing should not have to worry you at such a time.
Make sure the company that you choose provide insurance on your furniture. Although it's unlikely that an accident will happen, it's not impossible. You don't want to end up having to replace half of your furniture because you tried to save money by not taking out an insurance policy.
Should you be going to a new city to look for work there, the best idea is probably to store your furniture locally until you find a job. Many removals company also own storage facilities. This will save you from having to deal with two separate companies. Check their facilities beforehand to make sure it's secure and clean and free from rodents.
If you have pets, ask the removals company whether they have arrangements with an animal travel service.

A professional animal transport company will make sure your pets get to their new house safely and without being put through unnecessary stress.
A word of warning: Don't just choose the first company you see advertising in the local classifieds if you know nothing about them. You can well end up with a guy with an open old truck belching smoke and workers whom he picked up from the street this morning. They won't have a clue how to handle your belongings. Rather choose someone that comes highly recommended.
