Things to Consider When You’re Moving Home

There are many things to consider when you’re moving. After you’ve finally closed on your new home, you will need to pack up and move in. Despite all the chaos that comes with buying the house, the steps to moving in don’t have to be a headache. Luckily, with a little guidance and planning, you will find the whole process smooth sailing. If you’ve never bought a home before and it’s your first time moving out of your family home, this checklist of things to consider will help you. Plus, even if you’ve moved to different homes previously, you should still pay attention to the key aspects of moving home and what you need to consider during this next stage of your life.

 

Let’s take a quick look at the steps you need to take and how you can ensure your home move is successful. Beware though, you may have a few bumps in the road during the moving process, but these are all learning curves, and you can quickly recover from these bumps by carrying on and working through any difficulties.

Book time off work

We all get a limited amount of holidays, but when you’re moving home, you have to make the exception and take some time off work. Book time off either side of your moving day, depending on the amount of stuff you’ve got, and how long you think it will take to build/sort everything, this could range from one to four days either side. Remember, you don’t need to take all the time off to sort everything straight away, as long as you’ve got the basics done you will be happy going into work. Plus, if you’ve got people helping you out, this process will be a lot quicker.

Sort out insurance for the day you move in

Prior to your moving day (we recommend a few weeks), ensure you have sorted out your insurance policy to cover your new home from the day you move in. If you’re someone who considers themselves to be extra vigilant, you can set it from the day you exchange contracts. This will ensure your new home is covered if anything goes wrong during the moving process, or even before you move in.

Label every box

Among the things to consider when you’re moving is how to keep your belonging sorted. Clearly label every box you’re going to be using and moving about. You will be so grateful for labels when you arrive with everything and place things in different rooms of your new home. Ensuring you know what is in every box without even opening it will mean you can place everything in the correct room before sorting it out.

Tips for landlords

If you’re a landlord or investor who is having someone move into your rented property, ensure everything on your end is sorted before they come to collect their keys. Insurance will need to be sorted as well as ensuring the development is fully furnished (if this is what you have promised the tenant).

This is especially important for investors who are hands-on investing and need to sort everything out with their tenants. If you’re someone who doesn’t have time to help your tenants moving and have a full-time job, you may benefit from investing using a hands-off strategy like the ones offered by RWinvest. They are a property investment company who give people the opportunity to make the most of their property venture!

Say goodbye to your old house

As the time comes to close the door of your old home and get off to your new home, you will want to say goodbye to the life and house you’re leaving behind. For many people, this is an emotional journey, so don’t spend too much time saying your goodbyes and getting upset. Instead, look ahead to the future of living in your new home!
