Hello World! Welcome Friends! If you are currently in the process of moving house it can be a daunting prospect trying to sort everything out. It can be a minefield knowing where to start and which room to pack up first. This guide will help make your move go as smoothly as possible.
Get Rid Of Your Unwanted Items
The first step before you do anything else is to declutter. If you are selling up and moving then you will be listing your home on the market. When the time comes for potential buyers to visit your property they don’t want to be met with a load of stuff filling the space. You need to sort this before opening your home up, there are two reasons for this. The first is because buyers won’t be able to envision their own belongings filling the space if there is too much of your stuff. The second reason is that you need to maximize space and storage available, you can’t do this if your home is filled with clutter.
You might want to think about packing some of your items up before you move to get rid of your unwanted items and the stuff you won’t use in the near future. If you don’t want to store them in the house then you could rent out a self storage unit. In order to find a great self storage place and find out which size locker you will need, a simple internet search of self storage near me will help with this.
Clean Up
The next step is to make sure there are no repairs that need to be carried out. Buyers tend to steer clear of fixer-uppers unless they are in the trade. Families and professionals want to move into homes that don’t need anything major done to them. If you have compiled a list over time then now is the time to get everything fixed and ready for the sale.
Once you have done that, take some time to clean up your property. Nobody wants to have a look around a messy, dirty home. Areas to focus on include places that are commonly missed during the weekly cleans, including baseboards and oven hoods. If you find it easier to get in the professionals to help with this then make sure you shop around for the best cleaning company. They will be used to house cleans and will leave your home looking amazing and spotless.
Find Somewhere to Go
Finally, if you are selling up and moving on then the important question to ask is, where are you moving to? Make sure you have a place to go to before you sell your current home, it can be a bit of backwards and forwards knowing what to do for the best. However, if you have somewhere to move into then this takes a bit of the stress off of you. Shop around areas and what they have to offer to match your needs. If you have children that need nursery or school then find an area with the best ones.
