Some pets can be annoying and add extra stress to their owners when moving home.

Arrange for the children to be taken out for the day by a close family member. This will offer you peace of mind knowing the kids are in safe hands and well looked after, especially while the move is under way. Arranging for a  childminder will give you the quality time you need to focus on your move and delegate to the movers as to where you would like your furniture to be placed within the new home. Bear in mind some children can become emotional when they first realize they are moving home and leaving close friends or family behind.

If moving within a chain of more than 2 people it is always a good idea to contact each person in the chain so you can build a picture of the moving process. Many estate agents and solicitors will not tell you exactly what is happening, instead you are left waiting in the cold with your movers wondering why you can not move in. Staying one step ahead ensures we get the best results when moving home. Estate agents busiest days are Friday’s as this is the day that they push the completion through. Yes the day you are actually moving. Wouldn’t it make sence to ensure that all important documents, paper work and monies are transferred the day before people are moving home. This is why 1000s of home movers are left with extra charges on moving day. That the moving company takes for the time and for how long the movers are left waiting to off load furniture into the new home.

The last thing you want to do when moving home is clutter the new home with loads of furniture you will not use. We would recommend that you decide which items you would like to take with you to the new home, all the furniture you plan to place into storage and all the items you want to give to charity. This is the best option when moving home with a lot of furniture. Don’t fill the garage in the new home with old furniture, instead store it into storage and free up some of the space within the new home. This will make it feel more spacious and less cluttered.

When moving home you will want to arrange for a parking space close to the home for the removal vehicles to be parked. If you live in a private road, a permit area or an area that has red or yellow lines in front of your house, your moving company may request that you arrange a parking permit for the removal vehicles attending your home.
