For many people, moving house is a major job undertaken with a degree of expected disorder at the other end. The vision of having to search through endless boxes for a small item such as a can opener is not very appealing, and if you haven’t prepared correctly for the move, is a very real possibility. It is probably best to look at the move as an opportunity rather than a chore and to take this time to sort through your possessions and to offload anything you do not want to bring with you to your new house. Thrifty Van Rental Dublin has the vans you need to make this process as easy as possible.
If you spend time on the internet you will find countless websites offering tips on what to do and laying out a timeline for the move. This article is designed to pull together all the best information on the internet on the topic together in order to help you organise your move and make the process as painless as possible. The following is a timeline leading up to the move:
One Month Before Moving
- Visit the post office to organise mail forwarding
- Organise your van rental with vanrentalireland.com
- Collect all of your important documents and put them into a file.
- Source boxes for the move. Local companies often have suitable boxes that will cost a lot less than purpose built boxes.
- Assign each box a number and draw up a check list of the numbers. This will help you in two ways: you will be able to check boxes out of the house and back into the house and also put descriptions and destination rooms on the checklist.
- Place a number of boxes in each room and label them. You may have a few hours free and want to get started on packing.
- Start thinking ahead.
- Start packing items that you won’t need in the near future
- Inform your house insurance of the pending change of address
One Week Before Moving
- Inform the utility companies of your new address and organise to transfer your service to your new address
- Organise help with the move in terms of friends and family
- Start using up frozen foods and other foods that won’t travel well
- Start packing. Ideally moving day will be just that, not another packing day
Moving Day
- Progress from room to room in a logical fashion
- Load up the van and get it moving between locations as early as possible
- Check boxes out of the house and into the new house. Ideally they can go directly from the van to the correct room for unpacking.
- Check your checklist to make sure everything has arrived
- Finally, double check your old house is empty and ready for the new people to move into.
