Tested Methods for Removal Stress Reductions
Posted by Jerrard Romanoff in Guides, on November 22, 2017It is said that moving can be a real nightmare and it is very true. The thing is that when you are leaving your current place of residence you have to deal not only with the logistics of the process, but also with much psychological pressure as well. But there are ways to make things better, trust us. Here are several things that you need to do.
Set a moving date early and work toward it
This is a rule that can be applied to many spheres in life, but basically, if you want to reduce the stress in moving, you need to plan ahead. Specialists suggest that you have to know with considerable certainty when exactly you will be moving at least two or three months before so that you can make all the necessary preparations. Create a schedule and an exhaustive checklist that contains all major and minor tasks that you have to take care of, and then prioritise them. For example:
- A month before your move you need to have locked down your moving company. The sooner you do that the better.
- You need to have all the paperwork – contracts, insurance, utilities – for the new place sorted out at least two weeks before you move in
- Packing needs to be completed two days before the move
- A day before you move out, an end of tenancy cleaning needs to be conducted on your current premises
There are a lot more items that go on your moving checklist. So, it is probably the most important task to complete when you start preparing for your upcoming relocation.
Finding the right movers
Hiring a professional moving company in London might not sound like such a hard to accomplish task. After all, the capital is serviced by countless of contractors in the field. But the wide availability of services is namely the thing that makes it overwhelming. How can you know who the right people are? Simple – you do your research. Read online reviews, request quotes from as many firms operating in your area as possible, and then talk to them personally to get a feel of what they are all about. Then and only then you will be able to lock down the perfect people for the job.
Take care of your family
If you have kids, you need to know that the relocation that you have planned is likely to put much more pressure on them than it does on you. A house removal is the perfect time to get your family together and show yourself and the world that you can all work as one. This does not mean only delegating tasks to one another and helping the person next to you pack their things, but also moral support. Communication is crucial for good family relations and in this stressful time you need to talk even more than usual. If anyone has a problem, make sure that you know about it and find the solution together.
