How to organise a house move

I always tell our clients, “no matter how awful it seems, you will be settled in the new house in a few weeks, and all the stress will be a distant memory”.

The truth is that it is the run-up to the move that is stressful, not the actual removal day.  The key, like everything else in life, is to surround yourself with good people.  Make sure you have the best solicitors doing the conveyancing so there are no snags on the day with money going through and collecting the keys to your new property.

Ask and delegate.  Your removal company can organise the parking suspensions for you so let them.  You can have a packing service the day before your move – so treat yourself.  You can book a cleaning company to clean both the old and new house – you will have more than enough to do without trying to do a full spring clean.

There are a number of websites now that offer a change of address service, such as Iammoving.com – use it, it’s free!

Have a good clear out and ask your removal company to drop these items off at the charity shop.

Book an online grocery delivery service to your new home for the first evening in your house.

Above all choose a reputable, preferably recommended, removal company and make sure you have a contract and fully agreed what is required on your move.  Choose a company that offers a flexible service as moving is never straight forward and your requirements may change many times between the initial booking and the actual removal day.

Perhaps not the most organised move!

A stress-free moving experience

Another happy moving customer…..

Hi Andrea

I just wanted to thank you and all your team for being so absolutely brilliant on Monday and in the build-up to my move. I was braced for the whole moving experience to be stressful and unpleasant, but Matthew, Robert and Levente made it incredibly easy.  Special thanks for managing to get the piano down the stairs with a huge amount of difficulty and effort but without a single complaint.

I’ll certainly be recommending you to everyone I possibly can!

Thanks again
Best wishes
Alison
