Moving house is very stressful, and can lead to many a night of lost sleep. You have to worry about packing everything up in time for the removal men coming. You have to worry about keeping the kids occupied and not letting them get bored and restless, and even emotional. You even have to worry about unpacking everything in time to go back to work the next morning.
Start early:
My biggest tip would be to start your packing early. After all, it’s better to be finished early than it is to start late and be rushing around when the removal men come. Start at the top of the house and work your way down when each room is finished. If you take it step by step, then the packing won’t seem like too much, and you’ll be sure that everything is done. Label the boxes for each room so you know where they’re going in the new house, and you’ll make unpacking all that much easier. Make sure everything is wrapped properly, the last thing you want is to arrive at your new house and have broken goods to unpack. Wrap everything in bubble wrap and/or paper. Make sure each box is lined with plenty of newspaper to protect from unexpected shakes and bumps.
Book the right men for the job:
Booking the right men to move your most treasured possessions can be a difficult task. You’re trusting these strangers with your valuable objects. You’re trusting them to move your memories from one house to another. Cheap furniture removalists is a great company who can help to make your move all that much easier. Remember, you should always look around for the best removal company for you. Book at least 2 weeks in advance so everything is prepared. And make sure you read through the fine print of the removal insurance for your own peace of mind.
Think ahead:
Pack first night essentials in a separate box and carry it with you. Also, make sure everyone has an overnight bag with enough toiletries to last everyone the first day or two. Things such as a kettle, tea and coffee should be packed somewhere that is easy to reach. If possible, finish any laundry before you pack everything up, the last thing you want is to be packing and moving damp clothes. Not only are wet clothes heavier, but they will also cause the boxes to get soggy and more fragile to transport. Use this as an opportunity to sort through your possessions. What do you need and what can you live without? My top tip would be to leave everything packed for a few days. Whatever you don’t pull out of its box isn’t necessarily needed in your life, and if it were you would have pulled it out by now right?
If you follow these tips then moving house will surely be a hell of a lot easier. I wish you a happy move and a happy new life in your new home. And when decorating your new home, why not add some style and splendor? Make your new home a fabulous expression of yourself!

I like that you suggested booking a moving company 2 weeks earlier to make sure that you’ll have peace of mind that everything is prepared. My husband and I are planning to move to a different state next month. We want to live near the family of our son because we want to bond with our grandchildren. We need to make sure that our collections of vases and other valuables are going to be moved safely, so we’ll do all your tips.
This is some really good information about furniture removal. It does seem like a good idea to book professionals. That does seem like it would help make the process go a lot faster.
I’ve moved many more times than I’ve liked and tips like these have helped me get through each one. I always try and downsize during a move. It leads to less packing and less junk once I get to the new place. Great post!
Awesome tips Crystal! We also recommend using labels and color coding on boxes to help you stay organized when moving.
Thanks for sharing this so interesting tips for find moving house easier! When you are planning to move, hiring the right moving company is a big part of the process. You share the useful tips. Thanks for such post and please keep it up.
Moving services also provides a cleanup of your home for it to be ready for selling or other stuff.
Great tips! There are always times when you recall that you forgot to pack something, that’s why it’s a must, I think, to be ready a few days in advance
We procrastinated the packing process until the last week, I think that was the biggest mistake because at the end we had to rush the process and couldn’t label things properly.

Moving services that helps on transitions is really nice. It will help you do things more while not spending so much on getting ready to move.
french translation is kind of hard at first but if you get used to it, then it is easy;;
Hire a good company if you are moving to provide a quality service and care for your stuff.
That’s interesting tip to start at the top of your house. I guess there’s a certain benefit of getting the things that need to move vertically done first. I have to move for work, so I’ll have to use that tip.
To add to picking the right removals company – if you’re also after house clearance (for instance, if your garage is a mess and you just want to clear it), make sure they’re registered with the correct authorities. For instance, over here in the UK you’ll want to make sure that they’re registered with the Environment Agency. If they’re not, they could fly-tip your rubbish and if the rubbish can be connected to you in some way (i.e. from and old letter or something), then you’ll have to foot the bill to clean it up. We used a great company called woolton house clearance, highly recommended 🙂
Thank you for the post!

Hey Wendy,
Great Post Buddy!
Yup, moving can be so stressful, especially if it’s long distance! My husband got relocated for work as I am 8 months pregnant but we did all the investigation we could to make it as stress-free as possible.
I am not above paying a service to help transport my stuff. My two cents would be, get rid of as much as you can before you pack, and pack a travel bag with essentials to keep with you!
Thanks
Kate

Hello Wendy..! I already finished reading your article and I definitely agree to you. Relocating is difficult so, you should plan earlier than you think. In our first moving and hopefully this house is permanent, we did just one mistake, we forgot labeling the boxes and it so difficult to guessing of where for the kitchen, for sofa and even for the rooms. But overall we finished.
Moreover, this information is advantage for the firs-timer in relocating.
