14 steps to planning a flawless move!

With the move decided at the end of next month, you have found that you have a lot of work to do before the team of professional packers and movers arrives. You've even taken a little break from work to attend to all the listed jobs you've marked on your to-do list, and you're just waiting for the right moment to start working on your attack!

1. Allocate Sufficient Time to Each Room - In our household, allocate sufficient time to each room so that all items in the room are effectively assessed and properly inventoried. You never know how long this job will take. So start early and carefully check all the items in the rooms before packing.

2. Make detailed packing notes - When checking your belongings for a move, be sure to make a note of your belongings, especially valuables, break gels or other special items that you will need packing help with. You can list the product name and add the package support you want.

3. Clean all the storage areas in your home - There is not just one, but several areas in your house where most of your belongings are, such as your closet, cabinets, closets, attic, garage, storage furniture, etc. And it takes time to evacuate all those rooms. So do this task whenever you find time.

4. Get Rid of All Unnecessary Items – As you evaluate your household items and prepare them for packing, you find many things that you do not need. All of these items are suitable for donation, sale or disposal. So sort out all the unwanted items and get them as soon as possible.

5. Pack Rarely Used Items First – If you're ready to pack before the experts take over, start packing rarely used Items first because you won't need them until you move. Also, doing some packing yourself gives you peace of mind.

6. Pay attention to sensitive items - Special items from the kitchen or other rooms of your home should be secured as needed. Whether it is decorative items, luxury kitchens, any accessories or gifts, when handling them, be sure to use high-quality packaging and add protective padding to keep them intact.

7. Let the moving experts do their job – After you've done your share of packing, remind the movers to come pack. In any case, they will handle your household chores according to a set schedule, but you can let them know when you have finished your packing work on time.

8. Remove all packed boxes - during the packing process, it is important to check the condition of the room. Your home would already be a mess of open boxes, packing papers and stuff lying here and there. But it is your responsibility to make arrangements so that the Packers and Movers can complete their work easily. 

9. Plan your car move - If you have two-wheelers or four-wheelers, you will need to speak with the movers to arrange the necessary transport. Discuss the same with them at the end of the move and ask the movers to show or tell you how to handle the vehicle if possible.

10. Watch your moving finances - Budgeting, keeping track of your finances and having enough funds are some of the things you should be careful about when you move. Changes can bring unexpected situations and the lack of a good financial plan in the project can cause big problems. So, analyze all the moving expenses and decide on a budget.

11. Consider a New Floor Plan - Have you considered the layout of your new home before deciding to move storage? If not, you may need to remove your valuables after the move due to space issues. So be careful and only move things that you can adapt in your new home. This way you save more moving costs.

12. Have everyone pack their essentials - Packing one large overnight bag is fine, but your family members can pack their gear before the move. That way you don't have to sort through one bag that also contains things from other members. Everyone has an overnight bag with necessary things like clothes, hygiene items, medicine etc.

13. Evaluate All Storage Needs - Once you have chosen storage services of your mover, you also need to take care of them and make sure that the things in your storage are well stored. Know the prices of your movers and negotiate a reasonable price because warehouse services have a price. Next, familiarize yourself with the mover's storage instructions and do not store items that cannot be transported on your property.

14. Try all the ways to simplify the transfer - the movements are challenging anyway. The entire period from booking the contract to closing, when you make the final payment to the movers at your destination, is full of challenges and anxiety. While the professional movers and packers hired by you would make moving quite easy and organized, following the above mentioned tips would make it even easier! It's time to salute a memorable move with the aforementioned "14 Steps to a Flawless Move."
