Are you about to move to a new house? If you are like most people, you could possibly be stressed out and overwhelmed. Especially, if you are moving for the first time. After all, we develop a certain kind of attachment to everything we own. That includes the space where we have spent a lot of time. But carrying every piece of furniture, clothes, and household items are both difficult and expensive. In this blog, we will share a few tips that could make your work easier, along with saving some money.
1. Estimating the cost of moving
It is always good to try an online cost calculator before contacting or requesting quotes for any packing-moving services. By having a rough estimate, you get a standard and reliable value to compare with and you can ultimately choose the best deal to move to a new house. It is important to give yourself some options for sure.
2. Sell the furniture you don’t need
There are many people in this world, who’d happily buy pre-owned furniture and appliances if they are in a good condition. If you feel that moving your old items will actually cost you more than buying new ones, you can simply sell them before you move to a new house.
3. Cancel all your utilities at your old place before leaving
It is better to start canceling all your utility services after you know for sure that you will not stay at your old place anymore. This is to prevent you from paying for one extra month of services at your old place after you shift to your new house.
4. Measure access points at your new place
Now, this is quite important while planning out what furniture to buy or carry from your old place. Sometimes people end up not being able to fit their favorite bed into their new room. This is just an example. Having a good idea about the dimensions of the new house, the types of rooms, etc is beneficial so that you can ultimately plan your new space properly.
5. Reuse cheap or free packing materials
For packing, try to utilize what you already have, as much as possible. It is not necessary to buy bubble wrap or new cardboard boxes for everything. Also, look around and see if you can ask for old cardboard boxes from neighbors or nearby shops. They might be willing to give it out for minimal prices, or even for free.
6. Pack Strategically
There are many interesting videos on YouTube that teaches how to organize your items effectively while packing. This way, you can pack more stuff in a lesser number of boxes and save yourself some money when you decide to move to a new house.
