Posted on 27/02/2014
Moving house, however long you’ve got always feels like a mission, there is just so much to do and so much to think of it can sometimes feel like it will never be over! However, when you’re actually moving in a short space of time maybe because house contracts got exchanged at an unexpected time, or you have a new job in a new area, the whole process can feel even more stressful and impossible to achieve. It really can be done though and with the correct amount of organisation and planning (and perhaps one or two sleepless nights) you’ll have moved out in no time! Make a Plan and Recruit HelpersThe first thing you need to do without a doubt is to sit down and make a plan about what you need to do to get it all done in time. Include absolutely everything so then you have a realistic time frame and budget in front of you to work from. This will end up saving you lots of stress and time while the move is actually happening. If it’s possible it’s also a really good idea to get as many of your friends and family to help you out as possible as you will need all hands on deck to get it done on time! Hire your Removals ServiceThis is one of the first things that you need to get done before you can get your moving process in full swing. Ask around and do your research online and then ring companies and get quotes in order to ensure that you’re getting the best deal possible. It is also worth asking their experience in doing removals at the last minute to ensure that they’re reliable and efficient enough to take on the job. A good removals service will simply take it all in their stride and reassure you about it. They should be there to take the pressure off you. Get PackingThe packing of all your belongings is probably the thing which is going to take you the longest amount of time and potentially cause the most amount of anxiety. However, it needn’t because with a plan in place and with the right materials to hand you can get it done in good time and efficiently. The things you’re going to need are cardboard boxes, packing peanuts, bubble wrap and labels. These things will ensure that your possessions are packed securely and won’t become damaged in transit. The labels are there so that you can categorise your belongings according to what room they’re in so that when you arrive at your new property, you’re able to unpack them a lot more quickly and easily! This will be a huge time saver when you get to your new house! Find StorageStorage will almost certainly be something that you need when you’re doing a last minute move because chances are you just haven’t decided what you’re going to do with many of your things yet. There are plenty of storage options available so the best thing to do to ensure that you’ll be getting the best move for you will be to ring around the different facilities and get quotes. It will be worth getting a rough estimate of how much space you’ll need so that you don’t end up paying for more space than you’ll actually be using. It’s also worth deciding the kind of location you want your storage in because although central storage tends to be more expensive, it may be worth it if you’re in a rush and want your storage to hand.
