Make your home move easier!
Are you planning on moving homes in the Northern Beaches of Sydney? Moving homes require a lot of work. It is a daunting and tedious task but most locals are still unprepared for it.
So what do home movers often get wrong?
We list down the top mistakes committed and how you can avoid them with your house move.
-
Packing boxes inefficiently
Many people take packing boxes for granted. One of the biggest mistakes they do is packing boxes inefficiently.
- Do not cram your packing on the moving day itself. Group your belongings.
- Do not just randomly shove everything that could fit in the box. It may seem mundane and little but the impact of neatly-packed boxes versus a jumble is big.
Here are some ways to arrange your boxes properly?
- Label boxes and identify fragile items
- Categorise the boxes and put similar items in one box. You can also group belongings on which room they belong to
- Roll, pack things neatly. This will help you maximise space. Pack things you do not use every day first.
If you don’t have the time for all this, you can engage with a local Northern beaches removalist specialist weeks before you move to help with the packing.
-
Being disorganised
This relates to packing and scheduling all the things you need to get done.
Call up your accountant, mortgage broker, insurance broker and other service providers to help notify institutions on your change of address.
Consider setting up a mail redirection service with your Northern Beaches post office.
Plan all of this at least 4 weeks before your move date.

Not checking the new house before you move
Do not assume the house you are moving into is in pristine condition even when you may have done a site visit and review.
Certain emergency repairs and maintenance works may be needed before you move in.
A building and pest inspection report should reveal any major issues. Use this report to make a list of priority improvements needed.
You may need the help of local Northern Beaches tradies like builders, pest control specialists, electricians and plumbers amongst others to help address issues before or shortly after you move in.
