Moving house is stressful: statistics show that. In fact, it is in the top three most stressful situations in our lives. We don't want that. To make things a little easier for you in the meantime, we give you 5 super tips.
Moving tip 1: get the basics in order
When you move, you have a never-ending to-do list. You keep writing down and checking off. So let's start at the beginning. The basics: shut off and apply for gas, water and electricity in time for your new home. Changing your insurance policies and address. Of course, don't forget to shut off or transfer your internet, phone and TV to your new home or property.
Moving tip 2: the right people and good equipment
You can invite your entire family as well as our friendly professionals. They will also bring the latest and best materials for you, just think enough and strong moving boxes. That saves a lot of hassle. Other moving materials also take a lot of worries off your hands: from trolleys, rolling carts, straps, tools to moving blankets. Everything you need to move your belongings to your new address without scratches, dents or damage.
Moving tip 3: measuring is knowing
It is important to measure everything in both your new and old home. That way you know exactly how much space is needed and you can also start thinking about your layout. When hiring a moving company, it is important to tell them how much furniture you want to move. Then the moving company can make you a customized quote.
Moving tip 4: pack breakable items properly
Your precious dishes, lamps and other fragile items: pack them well. You can already do this with old newspapers, tea towels or kitchen rolls. Place the heavy items in the box first and write on the box that it is fragile and where it needs to go. Then your friends or movers will immediately know what needs to be done and what they need to consider. That way you avoid hassles and costly mishaps.
Moving tip 5: take pictures of your electronic connections
Are you not an electronics prodigy? Take pictures of your electronic connections in advance. That way you avoid hassle. You'll know exactly which cable goes where and before you know it everything will be running as usual. Small effort, great pleasure.
