Whether you are moving into a new home or organising your company’s relocation to a new office, moving can be incredibly stressful. To prevent stress and ensure your move is as efficient and effortless as possible, it is important to be prepared. Here are five things you should do prior to your moving day…
1. Hire a removal company households and businesses can rely on.
Whether you require home or office removals, hiring a reliable and reputable moving company can make the entire process so much easier and stress-free. Experienced office and house removals experts can take away the physical strain that comes with moving and allow you to focus on organising the move much more easily.
2. Double check your dates and documents
Will you be moving straight from one location to another? If so, then moving is fairly straightforward and you can begin unpacking in your building straight away. If your new location is not ready by moving day, however, ensure you have made arrangements such as hiring a temporary workspace or plan to stay overnight with a friend or family member.
3. Pack in terms of priority
Think about what is essential to you or your company and what will be needed as soon as you enter your new building. These essentials should be packed last so they will be the first boxes unpacked at the the new location.
4. Create lists and labels
Clearly label each box you have packed and if possible, make a list of the items inside it. Then group the boxes together in terms of where they will be placed and their priority in unpacking, this will ensure unpacking the boxes can be done as quickly and efficiently as possible.
5. Prep your kitchen
Defrost the freezer and empty your fridge and cupboards, any food you don’t wish to be moved can be donated to a food bank. Remember to rank items like a kettle as essential, as they can ensure you can stay hydrated and relaxed during your moving breaks.
