Moving House or relocating

June 23, 2010

The average person moves house several times in their lifetime (I have moved 14 times!). Moving for a job, more storage space, or a change of scenery, it's one of the most stressful, and rewarding times for the majority of people. From moving a few doors down, to across a continent, moving house is one of the most important things, and sometimes the hardest to organize.

From collecting supplies – buying boxes and tape, to packing your house up, cleaning, and moving to your new home, it’s an adventure for all involved. Small and home offices are also usually quite interesting to move – a new area for local clients and a nightmare for people that run services online, so it’s important to plan accordingly and ensure that you’ve made plans to cover yourself during the move. Your small office may be the last thing you actually pack fully, but you can start by cleaning through your paperwork and ensuring everything you’ve got has storage – if you run a craft business or have a hobby that takes up space, its always good practice, as soon as you’ve heard you’ll be moving, to start clearing and boxing up your non-essential supplies.

It takes careful planning to move house, but you can do so via the web at http://movingplan.com or http://helpiammoving.com – two great sites that help you plan your move and give you an idea where to start. Most importantly, you need to start planning as soon as you know you’re moving – so that you’re as organized as possible.

Whether you’re selling your house or moving due to a new baby, need for more, or less storage space, because you’re renting and need to move on, or are going to let your own house and move into another one – moving can be stressful….but it can also be a lot of fun. You may also be in need of low-cost van hire or self-storage.
