4 Tips To Remember While Shifting houses

4 Tips To Remember While Shifting houses

Relocation can be a nightmare when you have to pack & move tons of household & personal items. My brother has relocated thrice and we struggled a lot initially since we weren’t fully prepared for the move. But sanity prevailed and we made a checklist this time to follow and get everything right. I am going to share 4 Tips that will make Shifting house a cakewalk.

Get the House Ready –

One thing you mustn’t forget is getting the house in shape before shifting. If you are moving alone then cleaning the house can be tedious along with unpacking & arranging stuff. Hire a maid with the help of neighbours/ broker/ owner.

Pack the right way –

Wrapping breakable items like dishes, glassware etc in clothing to prevent breakage. Also labeling the boxes always helps, e.g. the contents are from which room etc. It will make shifting and rearranging the entire stuff quick. Mark them on the sides and not top, this way it will be easier to identify boxes even when they are stacked. Also don’t forget to number them so that you don’t forget any of them in the entire packing and shifting madness.

Start moving/ packing weeks in advance. Pack things that you don’t need on an everyday basis ahead of time e.g. sports gears, extra shoes/ towels or documents.

Hire Professionals –

He was shifting to Mumbai and hence we looked for professional Movers and packers in Navi Mumbai. He was shifting alone so it was the wisest decision to take help of professionals, since many of them come with insurance and might compensate if something breaks in transition. However you should pack everything as much cautiously as you could to avoid breakage. Also keep the cost factor in mind before hiring and always book them well in advance to avoid last minute hassles.

Get Rid of The Junk –

If you are moving back to home, make sure to not carry stuff that aren’t required anymore. Contact charity group that can take your pre-loved goods like clothing, crockery, electrical equipment etc. Alternatively you can do a garage sale or check with your friends if any of them is interested in taking the stuff that you wouldn’t like to take back. This is an efficient way of getting rid of junk/ unnecessary items while making some money.
