The Ultimate Moving Checklist
Moving to a new house is exciting but it can get overwhelming if you don’t plan appropriately and on time. You might be a procrastinator who gets away with doing things last minute but this is not one of them that you will get away with. One thing people ignore doing when they are moving is planning weeks ahead before the moving date inches closer. They want to look for transport and pack and do last minute packing before the moving date. Don’t be one of those people. Planning ahead and creating a moving checklist will make your move stress-free.
We have come up with the ultimate moving checklist to help you know the important things you should do before you move, on an actual day and right after you’re in your new house.
8 -12 Weeks Before Moving
Saving
Moving is an expensive affair. You just don’t wake up decide to move. You have to budget for different aspects such as finding transport money and paying your movers. You also need to budget for rent and deposit for your new house. Some landlords will ask for 2-month’s rent deposit and you have to save some money. Unless you have it sitting somewhere. Moving to a new home means you might have to buy new curtains and restock on empty shelves. Creating a budget will help you spend less money in the long run than you would without one.
Declutter
Hoarding things you don’t need makes your house look busy and clumsy. Whether you have a big or small house, tour every room and decide what you need to keep, sell or give away. Moving costs depend on the number of things you will transport to your new house. Therefore, the less you have to move, the cheaper it is for you. Decluttering your home also makes it easier for you to pack when moving and unpack once you get to your new place.
Look For Transport
As soon as you decide to move, you should start looking for different transportation options. If it’s long distance moving, you might have to look for moving companies that offer this service. If you don’t have many things, you can use a truck or a car when moving. You obviously want your belongings to get to the new house in the safest way possible with minimal damage. Avoid settling on cheap movers just because the price sounds good.
Create an Interior Decor Plan
There is a certain feeling of excitement which comes when moving to a new house. You’ll have all these amazing ideas in your head on how to decorate it to your dream home. Create a wishlist on the changes you want to make. Avoid buying things before you move out. It means you will transport more.
Research the New Neighbourhood
You should research the new place you are moving to. If you have a family, look for things you can do once you move there. The amenities of a place make the place. Look for restaurants, schools, grocery stores and access to shops.
