How to Move house when you are pregnant?

We as a whole realize that moving to a new house can be a distressing time and it is even more stressful when you are pregnant while you’re endeavoring to pack and move from your old home.

To help limit the strain and worry of moving house we have the following extraordinary safe tips for you to utilize, making the entire procedure much smoother and easier.

1. Plan in advance.

·       * Take away the pressure and stress from moving by planning each part of moving day ahead of time, 
  from boxes and packing to the best route to take.

·       * Write daily list with the goal that you know precisely what to pack and make agendas so you don’t
  skip anything significant and set practical cutoff times.

·      *  Packing ahead of time gives you an opportunity to painstakingly sort and pack gradually, limiting
  the physical strain.

·       * Never lift heavy boxes, consistently have somebody help on the off chance that you wish to move
  boxes.

Top Tips for Post-Removal Property Checklist

Once we’ve moved everything out of your house onto our vehicle, you’ll probably want to walk around and say a hopefully fond farewell. 

However, even at this stage, it’s important to run through a quick checklist as part of your house relocation, Christchurchor elsewhere. This one applies to owner-occupiers rather than tenants. 

1. Have you left everything behind that you should have? Remember, unless your sales contract specifically agreed it, you typically must not take anything with you that could be considered to be a ‘fixture or fitting’.

2. Have you switched off the electrical supply at source? Ditto for water and gas. If you’re asked by the new owners not to do so (e.g. leave the heating on a low level if it’s very cold) then make sure they confirm the request in writing. That’s to protect your liability interests should something go wrong between you leaving and the new owners taking possession (e.g. a leak).

3. Is your property, including the garden, reasonably clean and tidy? It’s rare but this can be an issue sometimes with property handovers, so look at things critically.

Moving Home from Rented Property – Your Obligations

When you move home, if you are renting the property you are vacating then your obligations to third parties are considerably different to those of an owner-occupier.

The specifics of what you will need to do may vary depending upon the country you live in and its individual laws and regulations. Even so, many of the following will typically be required and this may serve as a useful checklist.   

1. You will be obliged to provide your landlord or their agents with a notice covering your intention to terminate your rental agreement and that notice will need to be a minimum period of time before you depart. That notice period will usually be documented in your existing rental documentation.


2. You will need to notify all of the utility providers concerned that you will no longer be responsible for things such as water, gas, electric and telephone charges from the specified date and time and that you will be vacating the property.


3. Your rental contract probably obliges you to leave the property and its surroundings in the same condition you found them. What that means is you will either need to thoroughly clean the property once all of your furniture and possessions are out of it or pay someone to do that for you.  Many professional furniture removals companies will be able to offer such cleaning services.

A Few Words about Postal Shipping

Strictly speaking, this isn’t our domain but it seemed appropriate to say a few words on the subject.

That’s because we sometimes hear of cases where this has ‘gone wrong’ for a client.

What can sometimes happen is that someone has an object that they’ve left with someone else (a family member perhaps) while they move home. Once in place, they ask for the object to be posted to them via recorded and insured postal services.

So far so good but if it arrives damaged, whether due to poor packing or perhaps more commonly poor postal handling, what can you do about it?

In our experience, there is frequent widespread confusion about just what “insured mail” really means.  Typically, the insurance you pay for ONLY covers you against either the total loss of your package in the mail OR it’s total destruction.

The former of these two is easy to prove. If your parcel has been lost or stolen then it’s gone and the insurance should pay up without question. Read more about postal shipping....... http://www.christchurchremovals.co.nz/a-few-words-about-postal-shipping/

Avoiding Fire Risks when Moving Home

Fire is an ever-present danger when lots of household items are densely packed together and contained within a relatively enclosed space, such as a transport vehicle.

At Total Care Removals, we respectfully request that our clients notify us in advance of any materials that might be deemed ‘hazardous’ including inflammable substances. The good news is that many modern materials are very flame-retardant but not all are.

So, if you’re thinking about doing you own packing for a household removal, here are a few things to watch out for.
1. Bar-b-que firelighters or fuel.


2. Highly volatile liquids such as petrol/gasoline – these can often be left unintentionally in
    things such as motorbikes and lawnmowers etc.


3. Gas matches or any other electronic sparking aid designed to get a fire going. Lighters
    (even those in classic lighter collections) are a danger here too.


4. Battery-powered heaters, hair tongs or electrical coils. If they’re accidentally switched on,
    issues might result. Read more  http://www.christchurchremovals.co.nz/avoiding-fire-risks-when-moving-home/

How to Avoid Fixtures and Fittings Disputes when Moving Home

                                                        

One thing that can usually be said about moving day and agreed by everyone is that you probably want to forget it as fast as possible once it’s done.

If you’re to achieve that, what you won’t want to find is that for days, weeks and months afterwards, you’re embroiled in legal disputes and squabbling over what you removed from your old property or what the ex-owners removed from your new home. Don’t underestimate how ‘touchy’ people can get over these things, even when small sums of money are involved.

What follows here is general advice because some of the issues can be legally complex and interpretations will differ from one situation to another and certainly from one country or state to another also. Don’t hesitate to contact a solicitor for precise definitions and a professional furniture removals company should also be able to offer advice.

Vacating a property you own

You’re allowed to take with you all of your personal possessions – but only those that are ‘movable’. Those items that are considered to be part and parcel of the property, being its structure or fixtures and fittings, cannot be removed as they will typically be deemed to have been sold to the new owners.
