Hello World! Welcome Friends! Moving house can be frustrating. It’s a rollercoaster of highs, lows, and long queues. First, you get the excitement of finding the dream home. Then comes the tense moments of denied offers and opposition. And then, just when you’re riding on a wave of house-fuelled adrenaline, you have to play the waiting game.
Even the fastest house move is going to take around ten weeks. There’s a lot of paperwork and legal jumble to work through. What’s more, you need to appreciate the current owner’s time. They, too, need to find a house. Before you know, that initial adrenaline will have fizzled into an empty frustration. All you can think about is what you’ll do in your new home. But, you can’t do any of yet!
Or, can you? Of course, you can’t get in there and start painting while the old owners are still occupying the place. But, you can at least take steps towards preparing. Admittedly, you may want to wait until you have moving dates. But, when you know your timeline, you could take these three moves to get your new life ready.
Change your mailing address
You’ll have plenty to be getting on with on moving day. You’ll need to phone electricity providers, unpack, and finally start on decoration. The last thing you need is having to change your mailing address on top of that. But, you’ll need to do this for your driving license, any subscriptions, and even your bank account. And, there’s nothing to stop you from doing this ahead of time. Changing addresses a week before your move is a fantastic way to prepare. If you warn the current owners, they’ll likely be more than happy to set any mail aside.
Prepare your internet
You can’t sort the majority of your bills until you’ve moved. After all, someone else is already registered on that account. But, internet companies like Suddenlink can meet you at your new home and get you set up straight away. All you need to do is let them know when and where you’re moving. You can click here for more information if that appeals. Even companies who don’t offer moving services like these allow you to select an installation date. And, by picking your moving day, you can ensure you’re set up and ready to go from the off.
Pre-order your furniture
Often, moving home and buying furniture go hand in hand. After all, who doesn’t like to deck their new home out in shiny new pieces? In fact, if this is your first home, there’s a good chance you haven’t got much going in. Obviously, you don’t want to order furniture to arrive before you do. But, there’s nothing to stop you ordering this before your move, and scheduling it for a day or so after. That way, you save yourself a job and ensure your home is full as soon as it can be. Then, you’ll be able to kick back and settle into your new space.

Toodles,
Building the right home for you needs the right people to do so. Always go for excellent record contractors when hiring.
Another great tip is to hire reliable movers! Do your research and find a company that will provide a crew to move you fast and safely. The worst thing you can do on moving day is have the moving company show up late, not show up at all, or treat your belongings poorly.
Great advice! Thanks.
