6-Easy-Ways-to-Make-Moving-Stress-Free

A stress-free move might seem like a fantasy, but it doesn't have to be. With enough organization, you can ensure moving day doesn't have any hidden, scary surprises. Here are six handy tips for a stress-free move.

1: Know All the Fees

Ask anyone who has moved home what moving was like and they will tell you: expensive. While you might have saved up plenty for the deposit, you might also take into account all the other fees involved, like legal fees and removal costs.

By writing down the cost of everything before you move, you make sure that you don't become overwhelmed when a new bill arrives in your hands.

If you're planning on moving to a new home, but you don't have a large savings account, then consider looking at help to buy new builds schemes. A new build with reduced upfront fees could be precisely what you need to remove the stresses from your first move.

2: Pack Early

Moving day is not the day to pack, nor is the day before. While you will need to keep essentials like toiletries and food out until the day of, you should pack up everything else well in advance.

You might be surprised by how long it takes to get all your belongings into boxes, and D-day should be reserved for actually loading boxes into the van rather than throwing last-minute items into bags.

3: Book the Moving Van in Advance

You shouldn't assume that there will be a moving van available on the day of your move – book in advance! This way, you won't have to worry about it on the day.

If you're concerned about leaving your entire belongings in the hands of a stranger, then consider hiring your own van to drive to the new place.

While most people agree that moving is stressful, there are ways to ensure you have a much less stressful move than you thought possible. Here are tips on how to do just that!Click To Tweet

4: Have Emergency Funds

As previously mentioned, moving is expensive. While it's great to have all the fees accounted for, you never know when another one might crop up.

What happens if there is an unexpected leak in your new home? What if a box smashes all your dishes? By having emergency funds, you make sure you can accommodate situations like these.

5: Label All Moving Boxes


Imagine finally getting to your new home, exhausted and ready for bed, only to discover you have no idea which box the duvets are in.

To make sure you're not ripping the tops off the boxes on your first night, make sure you clearly label every single box. It also helps to write the room on the boxes, too, so the movers know where to place everything.

6: Have a First Night Box

As eager as you'll be to have everything unpacked straight away, you'll be way too worn out on moving day.

For this reason, you should set aside a box for the first night. This should include essentials like toothpaste, a couple of plates, and your PJs.

You can focus on tackling unpacking the next day when your energy is restored!

    Hello! We are just moving now and it seems to me that it is simply impossible without stress) I just hate moving, so I started googling everything in a row, all the move. Thanks for the advice, I would never have thought of putting together a box of stuff for the first night. I always then look for all the things I need in all the boxes in a row) Although it is stress-free and difficult to move somewhere, I think your article will help me to avoid it at least a little! Thanks for the useful information!
