5 essential new years’ resolutions for home movers

Truthfully? There’s never an ‘ideal’ time to move home. August? Too hot. March? Too cold. December? Too close to the festive season.

Up there with Christmas, heading the ‘most dreaded times of year to move to a new house’ list, is the New Year. Everyone’s full, tired, back to work and a little bit fed up already. The unfortunate thing is, you can very rarely plan the timing your house move as there are so many different parties involved.

If you’re faced with moving home this New Year, things don’t have to be stressful. Here are some helpful tips to help you keep things as stress-free as possible.

1.Get your diary out

Moving home is usually a busy time. Moving home in January can be even busier with all the post-Christmas madness. Invest in a new diary or help the environment and go digital!

There will be lots of different things/people you’re coordinating. Who’s coming to collect the table you’re selling? When are the removals company arriving? What day is your meeting with the solicitor? Things will get muddled fast and using a diary will help you keep on top of things.

2.Don’t leave it too late to pack

We know the last thing you want to do after a busy Christmas is start boxing the house up, but things will get stressful (fast) if you don’t keep on top of how much time you have before you move. The sooner you start packing the non-essentials, the more you’ll thank yourself in the long-run.

3.Find your local foodbank

When you’re packing to move, a lot of food/clothing can get thrown in the bin. Foodbanks all across Gloucestershire are crying out for donations, especially at this time of year. Rather than go to waste, familiarise yourself with local food banks/charities and make it your mission to help as many families as you can with your unwanted items.

4.Try not to call on your friends

Most people have been in the situation where they’re considering roping their friends into helping them out with their house move. However, things will get done so much faster, easier and more efficient if you use a professional house removals team.

One of the many reasons people love Clear & Clean House Clearance is because we’ve stopped them having to both their friends for help. Everyone can go about their New Year in their own way.
