How to prepare for a move.

Timeline:

If you are looking to move houses, we highly recommend that you start your preparations early. Ideally, start preparing the move two months in advance.

Define the Budget.

Moving is not cheap. Hence it is quite crucial that you create a budget to help you decide how much of the moving work you will need to outsource, and how much you can do on your own to keep the costs manageable.

Decide what to move.

You also need to decide what you will move with to your new home, and what you will let go of. Some of the practical considerations you need to make include;

• Will your furniture fit in your new place?
• Does your current style fit your future home and location?
• Are you upsizing or downsizing?

You need to understand that the more you move the higher it will cost. So take your time to sort through your stuff to decide what you will move and what you can do without.

Packing

The Traditional Moving Company

If you are looking to move the traditional way, you will need to call several moving companies and schedule an appointment with them.

You will need to repeat this process for several movers to choose the right one.
