No Comments »

Definitely one of the most stressful things that you can do is move home, trying to conduct a carefully orchestrated experience which in most cases may and will often go wrong at some point. To be honest getting it right when moving home is a rare occurrence but with our help and advice, you may find solace in learning a few import steps to reducing your worry and stress levels the next time you move home. Ok, so we understand how crazy the whole physical ‘moving house’ thing can be but what about important steps to remember before you move home. Today we look at two of the most commonly found issues that can get overlooked or left until the very last minute when all else is taking place.

1) Get in touch with your gas and electricity providers.

One of the most crucial and important steps to remember is to make the relevant calls to your energy suppler or suppliers. Letting them know well in advance of your move will allow them enough time to arrange and send you an estimated final bill or at the least know where to send you your bill when you move and take a note of the final readings within the property. If your home is run via gas and electricity prepayment meters, allow your credit to run down to a couple of pounds so as not to lose out on credit that you may not gain back. Again, it is a good move to mention to your energy provider that you are moving house and to forward any further correspondence to your new address.

2) Consider a postal redirect request by contacting the post office.

The Post Office offers a service for forwarding or redirecting your mail for you when moving home. Available for a reasonable fee, you can choose from different lengths of time, from a month to 6 months or even a year, the postal redirection service simply allows all your mail to be sent to your new address, keeping your mail safe and secure until you inform all parties of your move and to ensure that any parcels or packages already sent make their way to you.

I know it may seem insignificant and a trifle eccentric to mention the importance of choosing your moving boxes carefully, after all a cardboard box is just a cardboard box and could you justify the purchasing price when you could go to your local supermarket or shop and ask them for any spare cardboard boxes? Well the answer to that is simple and easily put. If you have ever packed before for a move, have you noticed that your clothes have all needed ironing again once reaching your destination, no matter how carefully you tried to pack them? In the same instance, used boxes have a tendency to collapse when stacked upon each other. In our experience, many have reported breakages happening when moving home.
