The
amount of mistakes people make when moving into their new home can to great
extend be eliminated by careful planning and making use of the expert advice of
trained consultants of the moving company selected for the project.
By
far, the biggest mistake most people fall prey to is not planning the event
well in advance and leaving this stress filled exercise for the last minute.
The advantages of long term planning if possible is that the household moving
services can schedule the move and may result in substantial cost advantages
especially when thinking in terms of international moving. The logistics
involved and finding space on freighters could cause relocation services
Canterbury to use alternative and therefore more expensive methods to ensure
the prompt delivery at your destination.
Cleaning
and un-cluttering the home and storage areas of items past their useful life or
items no longer required will cause the household moving services additional
time and space that can be avoided. The use of donating these goods while
clearing the areas is an exercise that will also save time and space when
arriving at the new property.
The
packing exercise should be done not too long in advance of the move neither
should it be done at the last moment. Most household moving services
will suggest that items not used regularly and often should be the first items
packed and the balance depending on the option selected just before the move or
by the packers. The stress of sorting through many boxes before a move
searching for something important is a nightmare.
The
use of colours or numbering system to clearly mark boxes while packing is a
great idea as this will assist the staff of the household moving service to
position the items without having to disturb the owner trying to create order
in the new house. The numbering method also allows some control over the number
of boxes involved during the moving exercise.
Another
mistake people often make is under or over estimating the size of the new
property and could cause relocation
services Canterbury staff facing problems having
to move an object into an area where the amount of access is severally
restricted or the weight of the item prevents its new positioning.
The
planning and even referring to floor plans of the new property to be
incorporated in the planning process could save valuable time for the household
moving services in placing and unpacking the items. The drawings can be used by
the homeowner to position each piece of furniture and colour code the boxes
needed it that room or area.
Problems
will always present themselves but by careful planning we can prevent them from
stress during the move.
