Moving is hard in general, but when you don’t have much time for moving, then it can be disastrous. Life comes at you very fast and so shifting your house from one place to another.  So, there are many things that are required to be done before moving to a new place, including spending time with your old friends, throwing a dinner party, packing up essential things, finding out the best long distance movers for shifting, getting quotations, dumping all junks or selling them off as required and many more.

We will help you decide precisely what you should be doing before, after and during your shifting. So, start your planning ahead for every aspect of your move. So, begin new packing and follow our last minute things to do before moving.

1.         Create a shifting file or folder which will have all the list of documents, good and luggage that you are shifting. It will also have the record related to the expenses of the moving like how much the company is charging, how much 10 to 15 boxes will cost, etc. These details will help you to remember all the details.

2.         Schedule the movers; get quotation from a couple of movers and shortlist the affordable one. Also, check the insurance and license of the movers so that you can keep track of them. It is required to find out if the movers are genuine or not and the best way to assure the same is looking out for movers who are locals, especially when you are moving long distance. You can check for Best Long Distance Movers list to shortlist one among the many.

3.         Search for a new home beforehand, which is affordable and at a place where you would love to stay. You can connect with realtors to find out the best house for you. They have different options available under your budget, and you can select one from the many. This will help you with your last minute moving.

4.         Sell or donate items before moving out. You may not need everything to get shifted to your new place. There are lot junks available at everyone’s home which is required to be dumped. We all tend to buy things which we do not use and keep it. So after years of not using it and carrying the same to the new house to dump again will only increase the rising cost. Therefore, sell off or donate things which are no longer in use and can b helpful for someone else.

5.         Pack all your goods at least start packing eight weeks before moving so that you do not miss out on anything while moving. Gather all your packing supplies like tapes, boxes, bubble wraps, plastics etc. First, pack all the things that you won’t need immediately after moving and then come to things that you would require immediately after moving.

6.         Connect with all your friends and neighbours and colleagues before moving. File a DVLA change of address before things get too late. You can also throw a small dinner party and do a get together so that you can finish everything on a good note. Moving on to a place where you won’t get your old friends along with you but this get together can help you stay in touch with them as always.

These were some of the last minute tips that you can follow while you are in a hurry to move or you have received a promotion or joining an office in a couple of weeks.
