Whether it is your forever home, a down-size, an upgrade, or a relocation closer to work or school, moving into a new house can be an incredibly stressful experience, but it doesn’t have to be.
Moving house is a significant moment in someone’s life, and any steps you can take towards mitigating the stress and uncertainty you naturally feel with a big life decision can go a long way towards streamlining the process.
Some tips to cope with house moving stress
There is no one size fits all when it comes to managing the stress of moving house, but we have some helpful tips that could help alleviate the pressure:
- Once you have a definite moving date, create a timeline of events to plan ahead, and write a checklist of important items you need to pack
- Using quality removal services maximises efficiency and ensures you have one less thing to worry about
- Putting together a box of day-to-day essentials and items with quick access saves you having to sift through boxes once you’ve first moved in
- Space out your packing time and de-clutter as you go to see if there are any items you can do without in your new home
Trust the experts
Appreciating the number of things you need to sort out for moving home, as well as how expensive it can end up being, prompts more people to look for money saving opportunities wherever they present themselves.
For instance, you probably know a builder who could have done your survey for you on the cheap, or you could have applied for the mortgage yourself, but you opted for a professional to make sure the job was done correctly, without a hitch.
The same can be said for choosing your estate agent. Rather than going for a faceless online agent that was half the cost of a local one, you went for the one promising the best level of customer service and quality assurance.
With all this in mind, why would you get to the final rung of this house move ladder – and potentially one of the most important, at that – and use an unreliable, unprofessional removals company?
