Everybody moves home at some point, and everyone understands the tensions and strains that are inherent with the logistical nightmare that is changing home. Here are some guidelines that can help.

Planning – Totally obvious but plan as far in advance as you are able to. Planning too much is much less of a problem than planning too little!

Dates – Try to sort out dates to begin with. This will dictate most of the preparation– whether to store your belongings, whether to get accommodation before moving in or whether you can move straight in.

Packing – Try packing little by little rather than in one mad dash– it can make the whole thing seem less demanding if you chip away until most of the works been done.

Storing – Try to avoid high priced storage options if you can. If something goes wrong and you need to store things for much longer than planned it can be expensive. Never Store complete rubbish! Some organizations can help you throw away or even recycle anything that you don’t need or use. Any old furnishings or bulky items that may not have a home in your new place can be blissfully “cleared” and never trouble you ever again!

Exchanging contracts – Be sure not to underestimate the delays and delay techniques you might come across. It’s only done and dusted when the fat lady sings!Moving in – Once again, you may have the keys to your new home, but there is still much to do! The pleasure may push you through the final phase without too much anxiety, but don’t forget there are still phone lines, Broadband, names on Bills to change and much, much more!
