A guide to moving home

Some people may like the idea of moving home regularly living in different cities or even different countries. The reality though is that most people don’t like moving unless they have too and the reality of moving home is far from fun. Some people will move home and find it so stressful that they will avoid doing it again for years or decades. You may need to move though, your job could change or move or you could having a family that is growing or who have flown the nest meaning you need a different sized home, it could even be something like you wanting to be closer to friends or to have a bigger garden.

The end product is having your ideal home but is it worth the stress? Well if you plan ahead and bring in professional help it doesn’t have to be too stressful though it may be impossible to remove absolutely all stress from moving.

Decide whether you want to use a removal company or do everything yourself, some people find doing moving themselves stressful some though find other people moving your prized possessions even more stressful. If doing it yourself make sure you rope in friends and family to help you. If using a commercial moving company choose one who you know are good from recommendations and reputation. Talk to friends about who they have used and get honest answers, was anything broken or lost? Were they helpful? Go online for more opinions as well and don’t forget one successful move doesn’t mean that a company is completely trustworthy. Always check insurance for a removal company and look out for any clauses that mean your items might not be covered.

You may want to use a premium service who will come in and pack everything and unpack it at the other end for you saving you a lot of work and getting as close to stress free as is possible.

Self-moving may only be possible if moving locally, for a start your friends and family may not want to go interstate to help you unload. Also if doing it all yourself unless you have a license to drive heavy goods vehicles you will have to use a small van which may mean doing quite a few loads backwards and forwards, easy if it’s a few blocks, possible if its to the next town impractical if its from New York to Los Angeles. Also if moving yourself consider time, its hard and exhausting work allow lots of extra time because it will probably take longer than expected as energy levels drop which is also when stress kicks in more.

Packing can be done over weeks or even months but this does mean living around mess and finding you’ve packed the thing you urgently need and don’t know where it is. Plan here as well, pack things based on whether you will need them even if some things seem to make sense to pack together. Try to have one room which you wont have to use to pile boxes up into so you can still get around, if you don’t have such a room then look at self storage instead. Number your boxes on every side and have a list to go with the numbers so you know what is in each box when you get to the other end and can spot boxes more easily if they are stuck in a big pile.
