When the big moving day comes around, it pays to be prepared - and not just because the cost of hiring out a removal van escalates as the hours roll by. If you don't have everything packed and ready to go, moving house could become a bigger pain than ever as you rush to get everything done on time.
To save on stress, it's a great idea to cover as many areas of preparation as you can well in advance. For example, several months before the big day it's worth trying to start getting boxes together so you'll have plenty of them ready when the time to start packing rolls around.
There are also related tasks that must be done, such as alerting the necessary services - like your doctor, bank and credit card company, as well as your mobile phone company - of your change of address so your bills and statements won't be sent to your old house. You'll have to cancel your phone, television and internet services and consider your household utility bills and council tax payments and how to organise them before you go.
All of these can be done quite easily, thankfully, and it's more getting prepared for moving day itself that can cut down on stresses and the inevitable things that go wrong.
If you can, it's worth packing up everything you don't need for day to day living well in advance and placing it in storage so it's out of the way while you finish getting ready. Most people are very aware of how full a house can get of unnecessary extras and these can get in the way when you're trying to move the essentials to your new house. As much as your piano would look gorgeous in your new home, bear in mind that there are other items that are a bit more important and would benefit from having the piano out of the way for a while until everything else is settled.
Sort your items into boxes that have clear labels depicting what's inside. Keep things like kitchen items together, then have boxes of things like books and DVD's - more that can be packed away in storage solutions - ready to just be moved without having to stress about what item's where.
Your moving day could be far more successful with just a bit of forward planning, so start looking into what you can do before the big day and you could discover your anxieties disappearing.
