The 6 Biggest And Most Common Moving Mistakes

Unfortunately, moving home isn’t an easy process. Not only is it incredibly stressful, but it is also hard to get everything organised and in order. Put those two together and you have one tricky move on your hands. The key is not to make a mistake. That sounds obvious, but you would be amazed at how many movers make life ten times harder than it has to be. To avoid the same mistakes, you need to be aware of the problems.

Here are the biggest and most common mistakes any person moving home can make.

Winging It

Doing it yourself is admirable, even commendable. But, it is flawed because you don’t have the experience. What might seem like a simple move can soon turn into the move from hell. Seriously, everything can go wrong all at once. Never try and move without putting in the necessary legwork beforehand. The only way to negate any potential problems is to be ready.

Not Hiring An Expert

Movers are like the pros of the business. They have the experience and the equipment to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Yes, they might cost a bit of money, but they are well worth the expense. Moving doesn’t come much easier or successful than with the help of a couple of removal specialists.

Not Getting A Quote

Still, you should never hire the first removal company you come across. Just like every service in the world, there are some good and some bad. Before you make a choice, you need to do your research. Firstly, make sure you have a good understanding of their reputation. Do they have the kind of image that instils confidence? Secondly, get a quote. Before you buy a car, you always check the price. Well, hiring a removal service is like renting a car for the day, so make sure you can afford the final price.

Didn’t Buy Insurance

Sorry, but that big, clumsy man dropped some of your valuables. What are you going to do? There isn’t much you can do if you are not insured. Accidents do happen on occasion, and when they do you need some coverage as a backup plan. Otherwise, you could lose a couple of family heirlooms in the process.

Remember The Non-Movables

As a result of spending thousands on valuable items, some moving companies won’t take certain things like jewellery. Consequently, you will have to move them on your own accord. Firstly, make sure you don’t leave them behind! But, more importantly, make sure you export them with care. Just because they are in your possession doesn’t mean they cannot be damaged in transit. Wrap them up tightly and try to keep them in plain view if possible.

You Didn’t Clean The House

There is no excuse, especially if new tenants are moving into the property in the future. If you rent it could cost you a fortune, and if you are selling it could cost you a lot of time and hassle. You have to make sure the house is liveable when you leave

That is your responsibility and no one else’s.
