Relocation from A to Z – how to make your move a success
Realising a relocation from A to Z can present a renter with quite some major challenges. The secret recipe for this is usually thorough planning of how the move is to take place. This way you can be sure that your moving day will go off in a structured manner. The final preparations should be completed a few days beforehand, so that the move can be carried out swiftly from A to Z. We provide you with valuable tips on how to make your move a complete success.
What do I have to consider when moving?
Almost everyone has moved house at some point and is more or less familiar with the procedures. But what do I have to consider when moving house? The answer to this question can be very extensive. First of all, of course, it depends on how you are moving. Do you use the services of a moving company or do you manage a do-it-yourself relocation. You have certainly already addressed this question. If you have decided to use a removal company, you will often enjoy a number of advantages, such as the provision of a fleet of vehicles or a disassembly and assembly service. Helping hands from your circle of acquaintances are always welcome.
An A to Z move begins with cleaning out. Surely you know how your flat has filled up with a multitude of items over time. Moving house is the best way to get rid of things you don’t like. Go through your clothes and see what you want to keep of them. Do the same with your shoes or other textiles that would add unnecessarily to your move. Especially with relocation companies, the volume of the move is calculated exactly beforehand so that it can be planned how many relocation vehicles will be needed. This means that you will incur higher relocation costs if you are moving a lot of goods. The same applies to heavy books, household items or bulky instruments such as grand pianos. The latter in particular should be registered with your moving company so that suitable tools are available. Once this has been done, you can make an exact list of your relocation goods and take care of the packing materials. Depending on the contract with your moving company, you can also disassemble your furniture beforehand and prepare it for the move. This includes disassembling it or packing it securely. In some cases, the company can do all this for you if you wish.
When packing boxes, remember that you should put your most important documents in a separate bag or box. The mobile phone charger cable, your identification documents or important medication can quickly get lost in the stress of moving. When moving from A to Z, everything should be as organised and structured as possible so that when you move into your new flat, everything is immediately at hand. It also makes sense to label your boxes so that you and the removal helpers know where to put the boxes in the new flat. Feel free to use any storage space you have available. You can use empty suitcases, bags and sacks as well as standard moving boxes. Be aware of the weight of your relocation goods. Book boxes in particular are very bulky and should ideally only be filled halfway. You can then fill the remaining space with textiles such as cushions or blankets.
Take care to accommodate your loved ones during the relocation. If you have pets or small children, you should assign someone to take care of them beforehand. This will take the pressure off you and give you enough leeway to organise your move. Furthermore, it is always a nice gesture if you provide food for the moving helpers.
What else do I need to consider when moving? It’s not just the contents of your flat that are moving, but also everything around it. In the run-up to the move, you have probably already applied for all the changes – set up a mail forwarding service, moved your internet and telephone connection or updated your data to your new address. Shortly before you move, you should take care of your letterbox. Empty it and remove the name plate. Then make a note of your electricity meter reading, check the contents of the fridge and defrost the deep freezer if necessary, if both remain in the old flat. Once the inventory has been placed in the moving van, you can inspect the now empty flat for a perfect A to Z move. Take out the remaining rubbish, check that you have packed everything away and that the lights are off. Your A to Z move is complete when you arrive at your new home and your furniture is where you feel comfortable.
