How to avoid a stressful home move
Moving home and changing addresses can be stressful if you are unprepared.
If you want a no-hassle home move then it’s important to plan ahead of time and hire the right local businesses to help you through the process.
We’ve put together a moving house checklist to help know more about the local businesses you need to connect with when moving.
Moving home- who you need to hire?
1. Hire a local home removalist
This should be one of the things on top of your list. Choose and hire a home removalist company at least four weeks before your move to get ample time to compare candidates and pack your belongings.
Write everything you need to be taken care of. Compare the prices, offers and qualifications. Your friends and family may give you good recommendations on which local businesses to hire.
It would be great if the home removal company can provide you with everything including packing of items and putting anything in storage.
2. Find a great cleaner and pest control company
It is easier to get settled in a house that is clean and spotless.
You may need the help of a cleaner for both the house you’re leaving and moving into. Book your house cleaners at least two to three weeks prior to your move.
On top of keeping both your homes spotless, make sure they are also pest free.
A good pest control company can inspect and make your home pest-free and safe.
3. Contact your business advisors
You need to update your address with all the service providers and businesses you have associations with. Some of these include bank and credit companies, workplace, utility billers, and other organisations you are a member of.
Make a list of all the places that you need to change your address with and notify them ahead of time.
Do not forget to contact your accountant and financial planner so they can arrange for a change of address on your ato, superannuation fund and other important institutions.
