Finding the right house to move to is exciting, but once you have bought it you need to get organized. There is the packing to be done and organizing the removals. Letting the utility companies know then a final clean of your old house and a first clean of your new house. Say goodbye to your old house as you hand over the keys before moving to your new house to unpack. Call some friends and invite them to help you, in exchange for food and drink.
If you are going to be organized throughout your move a list is a good idea. When a job is done it can be crossed out, letting you move onto the next one. If you have roped in a team of helpers a list of jobs with their names against them can help to keep everyone on track.
Make sure you have sufficient boxes and bags for your packing. Brown tape and marker pens are also a must. Pack each room separately so you can then mark each box with that rooms name on. This lets the movers know which room it is to go in, this will save you moving boxes at a later date. Make sure to wrap delicate items well so that they are not broken in the move.
If you do not want to pack up your own house you could consider a removal company who will do it for you. They will provide the boxes and other packaging materials and offer insurance to cover any damages. If however you have only a few things to move, you may be able to do the removal yourself with a hire van and some friends.
Make sure that you have informed your utility companies of your house move and give them the date you will be leaving. Look at the documents of your house sale, and determine whether there are any specific instructions as to whether the utilities should be left on or turned off.
When leaving a house, unless it is to be demolished, it is good to clean it one last time. This lets you check for any forgotten items that might have been left around. It is also nice for the new tenant or owners to come into a clean house. More than likely though, even if you move into a house that has been thoroughly cleaned you will probably clean it again as you unpack.
Unpack your most needed items first, kitchen for tea and coffee making and the bathroom, then bedrooms and other rooms. If the boxes were marked when you packed up, you should find them in the right place. This means that if it gets too late, you can find the items you will need first thing in the morning, and only unpack the things you need. Remove the packaging from each room as you work and it will seem like a quicker job.
If you have plenty of friends willing to help, why not buy some food and drink and have a packing party and an unpacking party at the other end. This will shorten the time spent packing and give you more time for the unpacking party at the new house.
So having organized and packed, cleaned and dealt with the utilities you can move house. Then you are able to begin reversing the procedure, beginning with the unpacking. Perhaps drinks will encourage friends to help at both houses and soon you will be happily settled into your new home with not a thing missing.
