9 Essential Things to do Before Moving in 2021

February 15, 2021 by Annie

 

 

Moving into a new house seems like an epic adventure. However, the day demands daring exploits, meticulous planning, finding the right movers, selecting the best arbitration program, and other endless chores that demand to be completed before the big moving day.

By doing everything right from the start, you are guaranteed to have a safe and stress-free moving experience. If you overlook a few essential moving tasks, you increase your chances of facing a nightmare, making your moving scenario from bad to worse.

You might wonder how you can ensure to do all the necessary things for the perfect move and avoid missing anything important. Well, lucky for you, we have you all covered. Below is a list of the essential things that you ought to complete in due time to ensure a smooth moving process.

 

Find The Perfect Home

An essential thing before moving is to find the perfect new home. Keep in mind the most important features you want your new home to have while searching for an appropriate property. You might also want to consider an ideal location, such as living standards, monthly rent, mortgage, etc. Moving into temporary housing can also be a good idea for exploring a new area.

 

Sort Out Your Belongings

Analyze and assess your belongings to determine which ones you will use in your new location and which ones won’t be worth taking with you. Make a list and see which household items, furniture, etc., would fit into your new home. The bottom line is to take only those items with you that you need and value.

 

Create a Moving Inventory

After you have sorted out your belongings, proceed towards making a moving inventory. Your moving inventory should include a detailed list of items moving with you, such as their distinctive features, current condition, estimated value, appraisal statements, etc.

Your moving inventory will assist you in estimating the expenses of your move depending on the weight of your shipment, along with keeping a better track record of your possessions. It will also help you determine your moving needs, such as specialty movers and extra services.

 

Discard/ Give Away Unnecessary Items

One of the smartest things anyone should do before moving is to get rid of unnecessary items, such as outdated games, books, clothes, shoes, etc. These are items that won’t fit in your new home, and by getting rid of them, you will save loads of time and effort.

 

Make a Moving Calendar

It is crucial to set up a time frame for each of the things listed in your to-do list. By breaking the bog moving tasks into mini objectives, you can prioritize them according to their importance and difficulty. As you assign deadlines to each of the tasks, you can ensure that you stick to doing them, no matter what.

 

Set up a Budget

Setting up a moving budget will have a clear idea of how much money is needed for relocating. You will also determine whether you have sufficient savings to cover all expenses related to the moving endeavors. While setting up a budget, you need to include the moving company’s costs, insurance costs, moving truck rental, post-relocation expenses, etc. Make sure that you have at least double the estimated amount before you start moving.

 

Choose a Moving Date

While choosing the best moving date, consider all circumstances, such as starting a new job and previous commitments, to decide the most appropriate date. Remember that peak season moving will cost you loads more than moving during the less busy season. Make sure to have a plan B ready for all times to use in case something goes wrong.

 

Hire The Best Movers

Unless you want to take self-move risks, it is recommended to ask for recommendations while hiring the best movers. Always go for reliable and well-experienced moving partners. Research the websites and online profiles of the potential movers and compare the rates, terms and conditions, and services before settling for one of them.

 

Bid Farewell to Your Old Home

We know that this isn’t an essential part of the moving process. However, saying goodbye to your old home is vital to making a positive start at the new location. You can opt for throwing a farewell party for your friends and family. Or, you can do something that you always enjoyed at your old location before leaving.

Hi! I'm Annie and I have 3 kids (all in their teens - yikes!). My mommy blog isn't all about lunches and DIY - it's also about humour. Like how my kids make fun of my texts as if I don't know how to use emojis (I DO!). Now that I have a bit more time - since my kids don't want to hang out with me (teenagers), I have taken up blogging.
