What Happens On Completion Day When Moving House
Hip hip hurry Its Completion day, the final day in your old home is here. However there are many things to be aware of on completion day. Following our guide will help to minimize your delays and expenses when moving home.
So what exactly is Completion day
Completion day is the point at which your solicitor will transfer all monies to the new home buyers solicitor. Once all monies have been successfully exchanged, you’ll then be handed over the new house keys by your estate agents, until the completion process is complete you will not legally be able to off load any of your items into your new home. Your completion date is the day you can finally move into your new house and start making it your home.

How to avoid complications on the day of completion
Being aware of all the possible factors that could contribute to a delay on completion day will allow you to pre plan and prepare for all possible scenarios. Some of these scenarios are completely out of your control, however there are a few precautions you could take before hand to help to minimize complications on completion day.
- Whenever possible you should try to avoid moving home on a Friday. This is because many Solicitors, Estate Agents and Banks that will play a vital role in the completion process will have earlier closing times on a Friday. Some may even only open for half a day. The last thing you want on the day of your removal is to have all of your belongings packed in the removal van ready to go, only to find that the paperwork isn’t complete or the money has not transferred on time and the Solicitor has gone home for the weekend.
- Being upfront and honest with your removal company is always the best and most cost effective thing to do. If you are expecting delays or if you are unsure of the time your keys may be released, letting the removal company know in advance will allow them to allocate their time more effectively. You wouldn’t want everything you owned packed into the van only to be told by the Estate Agents that your keys to the new house will be delayed in being released. This is not only time consuming for the removal men who will be sitting around waiting, it could also turn out to be very costly for yourself as many removal companies will charge for waiting times and delays.
- Establishing contact with the other people in your moving chain may help towards making the moving process run more smoothly. Keeping each other up to date with any possible or expected delays will allow the other parties to prepare and relay the information to the relevant people including Removal company, Estate Agents and Solicitors.

Moving Home With Children
When moving to a new home with toddlers or teenagers, it is best to be up front with them about the move from day 1. Let them become apart of the move and the moving process. Children can feel lonely when moving to a new location, moving schools, moving far away from friends they have known for many years and the burden of meet new ones. For children moving home and location can be a daunting time. Let them pack and label their own removal boxes and show their own room, toys and belongings to the move consultant when your house removal company is completing your home survey. All these things can help to ensure your pride and joy is happy and comfortable with the move and change.
[divider icon=”” style=”none”]
Plan, Prepare & Organize
There really is so much to consider, plan and organize when moving to your new home it’s easy to forget some of the most important things you must do before you leave to arrive at your new home. A few of these things may include checking the meter reading, setting up broadband phone and tv connection’s, visiting new property, schools and local area, registering with doctors, dentist and other health care organisations. This is just a small section of things that you can do to help to deal and cope with the emotional stress of moving home in the East Midlands and surrounding towns and villages in the UK.
If doing the packing your self, depending on the size of your home we would recommend that you start bit by bit at least 2 months before your house removal. This will ensure every thing is packed, wrapped and boxed up in time for when the movers and removal trucks arrive at your home. Many removal companies in the East Midlands will not take items or furniture unless it is wrapped accordingly.
Alternatively hiring an expert house removals company and home packing team will ensure that the job is complete for you, saving valuable time, money and physical hard work. If you have a load of boxes that require packing its wise to use the professional movers and packers.

Moving Home With Pets
If moving with pets try to have a friend to have them for the day, locking them in the room while the move is under way will only make them more stress and un-relaxed. The last thing you need is the dog barking non stop, or the cat scratching at the door while the move is under way, am sure the movers won’t mind, but with all the noise and commotion in the background, this can make you feel more uneasy and stressed taking the time to ensure the pets are calm and ok.
[divider icon=”” style=”none”]
Keeping A House Removals Checklist
Using a house removals checklist and tips, diary or note-book to make notes and tick tasks off the list as you go on. This will ensure that nothing is missed and make it easier for you to remember the most important tasks to be done. Every home mover should refer to a moving checklist when moving home, especially when moving with children. Using a moving checklist could save you money and time in the long run. A checklist will list all the things in the order of months on the run up to your house removal day.

Label Removal Boxes, Furniture & Rooms
When completing your own home packing, it is wise to label all furniture and boxes. This will save time when offloading into your new home, instead of opening boxes to see what inside and which room they belong to, can you imagine doing that for every box, the movers would be there for some time. There are few ways in which this can be done effectively. Either by colours, shapes or by name. For example: Blue would go in the kitchen, pink in living room etc, square for bedroom, circle for dinner and so on or the standard way, name of room for example kitchen, master bedroom.

Speak To Friends About How You Feel About The Move
If the move is getting you down try speaking to some one close to you about the way you feel about the move and the change in your life. We only move a couple of times in our lives and get use to being and living in the same location and place. Moving home can happen quicker than some people expected, with house prices on the rise and the housing market becoming more stable and more and more people are buying homes, becoming home owners and home movers.
[divider icon=”” style=”none”]
Have A Back Up Plan
When moving home you have to be sure you are always one step ahead, try thinking of things that might go wrong on removals day and come up with alternatives and solutions to the issue. For example if the keys are not ready for your new home, you may need to keep some extra cash at hand to cover forbidden circumstances. What if your chosen movers let you down and don’t turn up, be sure to have a details of a company you can easy reach out to. The worst case scenario for home movers is where the property completion has not been complete and you have to move your items into storage till a later date. These are the realities of moving home, delays can happen from time to time as every move is different. Staying focused and thinking of solutions will help you to be prepared in case any thing goes wrong on your move.

Find The Best Money Saving Tips When Moving Home
Moving home and hiring a professional house removals company, doesn’t have to be an expensive job at all. Our step by step guide on money saving tips when moving home will ensure that you do the right things to cut the cost of moving and your house removals right down.
Moving companies usually charge based on the volume of items, furniture and man power needed to complete your home move. The size and nature of your move will reflect the overall price you will have to pay. Listed below are some simple money saving tips when moving home.
[divider icon=”” style=”none”]
keeping the cost down when moving home :
- Donate old and unwanted items and furniture to your local charities. (This will reduce the volume and weight of items to be moved)
- Pass on unwanted clothing and belongings to friends and family or donate to local charities.
- Have a yard sale to sell all unwanted items, furniture and belongings, which will help to bring in extra money to pay for your move.
- Place furniture with online websites like Gumtree, Facebook or Ebay to get a return on your unwanted furniture and belongings
[divider icon=”” style=”none”]
Sell, give away, recycle or donate to your local charity:
- Books (that you have not read for many years)
- Records and CDs (that are all out of season and can easily be replaced)
- Clothing and shoes (that are old and you will not where again or have not worn for some time)
- Toys (maybe your children are older and still have unused toys stored in the loft etc)
- Garden tools ( if moving from large property to a small property you will not need the ride on lawn mower)
- Fire wood ( which can be bought in your new area)
- Weight lifting machines (these items can weigh a considerable amount which can increase the price of your move)
- Cutlery, pot, pans, kettle and other kitchen utensils
[divider icon=”” style=”none”]
Have a house clearance :
When considering how to save money on the cost of moving home, having a clear out and selling or donating furniture and items that you have not used in a long while is a good way of keep moving costs low. Check through your rooms, garage, attic, basement and collect up all those items, furniture, clothes, old electronics, books only if it is unlikely that you will never use or need them again.
If you have sentimental and valuable items hold on to them. However if you find tons of items you forgot about, give them away or donate them on to your local charities. This will save you time and money when moving home. The less stuff you have to move the cheaper it will cost and the less cluttered your new home will be.
[divider icon=”” style=”none”]
Stay organized and make lists :
Organization is the key for an efficient and successful move. The more efficient you are, the less you will have to pay. When you have organized every aspect of your move and know exactly how much it is all going to cost, only then will you be able to save on your move. Make lists on task that you can complete and try to stick to them.
[divider icon=”” style=”none”]
Hiring a professional house removal company :
It’s ok to consider low cost house removal firms, but make sure you are hiring a reputable moving company, sometimes the cheapest option is not always the best. It is important that house removal companies are licensed and insured and have a good reputation to carry out your move to the highest of standards. That way you will prevent any moving scams or unexpected charges during the moving process.
[divider icon=”” style=”none”]
Negotiate on price :
Most house removal companies will always work to a customers budget and needs, so never give up trying to negotiating with them. Be honest and upfront about exactly what you can afford and have to be moved to the new home. Negotiating should not mean that you have to compromise on the quality of the service you receive.
[divider icon=”” style=”none”]
Other Essential Money Saving Tips
- Many people relocating to a new home for working purposes, may be entitled to claim back some moving expenses if not all of it through their company.
- Be sure to receive at least 3 removal quotes that you can provide to your employer if needed.
- Finding cheap good quality removal boxes can help keep the cost of moving down.
- Ask friends and family to lend a helping hand packing and unpacking at your new home.
- If moving a short distance moving a few essentials in the boot of your car can help to keep moving costs low.
- Move during the beginning of the month and on a Monday or Tuesday which are moving companies least busiest times.
- If possible avoid moving on Friday’s, as this can be a busy day for removal companies.
- Book your move well in advance, many removal companies offer discounts when customers book in advance.
- Be sure that all contracts have been exchange and you have the keys to your new property before the removal men arrive at your new home, this will avoid lengthy waiting times and additional charges.
- Be sure you have insurance in place for your move, this can be provided by your moving company.
- If you are completing your own packing be sure every thing is taken down, boxed and ready for when the removal men arrive. If things are not ready your moving company may not take it and apply additional waiting charges.
