Cheap Removals: Take the Stress Out of Moving

There are many stresses with moving, whether that’s moving house or perhaps moving offices. Not only is it very stressful to move, but it is also very time-consuming and it can be expensive. It really is not advisable to do everything yourself. I was really surprised when we were using a financial advisor, and she had put money aside in our budget for removal costs. This was really impressive as even if you go with a cheap removal service, the costs of moving still add up. Here are my top tips to take the stress out of moving. 

Start packing as early as possible. As soon as you get the first thought about moving is when you should start the massive decluttering of absolutely everything you own. I’m talking from the obvious closet clear out to even that drawer of cables. You have to think that every box of rubbish you don’t actually need to take with you is going to cost you both time and money. Not to mention you’ll have to find space for it in your new space.

Plan ahead for your kids and pets is one way to keep the move as calm as possible. We have a plan in place that the kids and pets would be put into the furthest away room from the front door and all the commotion. We’d then make sure that the first things in the house are pet beds and furniture and stuff to keep the kids quiet and calm, their beds and toys etc. This way the kids and the pets are surrounded by familiar things and hopefully with a little attention will not be too upset by the noise and new space.

We’ve always packed the first few boxes off the removal truck as being things we need for that night, so no matter how late we end up finishing, we have all the essentials we need like a kettle, coffee, tea, PJs for everyone, toilet roll, basic toiletries, phone chargers, medication and anything we’ll need for the next day whilst we unpack the rest. Of course to get things done quicker it’s time to call in those favours, if you’ve been organised enough to mark everything, getting it all moved into the correct rooms which will make it quicker and easier. 

Have you got any tips for a stress-free move?
