Real tips for moving house

Been there, done that! The Hubs and I had a nightmare over a period of six months moving from a 3,000 square feet house into a 1,800 square feet apartment; just because we thought we’d save some money. *shaking head* Here’s what you need to do if you are planning to move house soon or ever.

Take it from me:

  1. The 3P’s – Plan, plan, plan
  2. Tell everyone you’re moving! You never know where you can get some extra help.
  3. Mark your calendar – draw in timelines for the move date, when you’re cleaning the new place, when you’re packing ABCDE, when you’re doing the labelling etc because if you don’t, you will forget. You WILL forget.
  4. Sort out your space requirements – does the new space fit everything you’re bringing over? Take your measuring tape out and start measuring. Do not take anything for granted.
  5. Research removal companies. The famous named ones are not necessarily the best ones. Talk to all of them and have a list of questions prepared for them to answer.
  6. Get a removal quote from at least three companies, even if you already know who you like and who you’re going with. Because you just never know.
  7. Separate your stuff by rooms and label each and every box. Have this planned list in copies to be handed over to the removal guys.
  8. Watch the removal guys do the packing. Especially when it comes to your very precious breakables and especially if you cannot risk to see the vase your great-great-great grandmother owned break.
  9. Ensure all furniture is up in the new place before opening up the boxes of smaller stuff. It is much easier when it comes to unpacking as stuff can be placed immediately where they belong.
  10. Book a massage for the day after your move.

Actually, if you’ve hired some professional movers, the task is pretty much stress free. It is only suckers like us who decided to beat ourselves up, because we’re sadists. *smirk*
