3. Communicate with Removals: Provide them with essential details such as:
- Moving distance
- Amount of furniture
- Floor levels of both current and new homes
- Parking arrangements for the removal van
Packing Tips
With a bit of care, your belongings can arrive in great condition:
1. Gather Supplies: Use protective wrap for delicate items. Bubble wrap works well for electronics and fragile objects like crystal.
2. Label Boxes: Clearly mark where each box should be unloaded and list its contents. Stack plates on their sides wrapped in tissue and label as "Fragile."
3. Pack Wisely: Keep box weight under 40 lbs. Place heavy items in smaller boxes and light items in larger ones.
4. Disassemble Large Furniture: For big tables, remove legs, pad, and tie them together. Keep nuts and bolts in a bag taped under the tabletop.
5. Prepare Appliances: Empty, defrost, and drain large appliances like fridges and washing machines.
On Moving Day
1. Record Utility Meter Readings: Document gas, electric, and water readings.
2. Stay with the Moving Van Driver: Oversee the inventory process.
3. Provide Directions: Give the driver instructions to the new home and your contact numbers.
4. Review Documents: Carefully check and sign the bill of lading and inventory. Keep a copy safe until all charges are settled.
5. Final Walk-Through: Ensure all areas, including the cellar, attic, wardrobes, and cupboards, are empty.
6. Secure Your Home: Lock all windows and doors and leave the keys with the estate agent or new owner.
Following these steps can significantly reduce the stress of moving and ensure a seamless transition to your new home.
