Tips For a Simple House Move

In fact, the whole situation becomes much more difficult when you have to organise a whole family instead of just yourself. Here at Jacksons Removals, we are well aware how much pressure it can be to have a house move down to a T, especially when it is your first one! Fret not, we’ve decided to lend our knowledge and experience to this blog in order to come up with a few top tips to make the whole thing simpler…

Bags

Many people only know of one method for moving their clothing and it involves trying to force as much as you can into a large suitcase and hoping for the best. We’re here to tell you a new method that was introduced to the internet by a student’s father in early 2017.  Simply hang your clothing on hangers then slide a rubbish bag around 10-20, tying it at the top. Now you can carrying the hangers!

Padding

There are many items in a household that can be broken during a house move. From plates to delicate perfume bottles, the last thing you want to do is spend time organising the items for them to suffer at the hands of careless removers. Luckily, the Jackson’s team handle every box with care! In order to further protect your items, use old newspaper or bubble wrap in order to pad them.

Boxes

The majority of items will be packed into boxes however once it comes to unloading that van the removal company will need to know where each item is going. There are two ways you can do this: get colour coded boxes for each room, or write the name of the room that each box should be placed in on a regular cardboard box. It depends how adventurous you would like to be however the second one is cheaper and more simpler.

Firstly, understanding the language is important if you’re moving abroad, trying to have as many language courses as possible so that you have a grasp on the language is important. It is easier for you when being in the country, so that you can communicate with other locals and make you feel part of the community.

Always keep in touch with your family and friends when you move abroad, especially when moving abroad. You may be enjoying yourself a lot, however as it is such a big change you can drastically feel alone and become lonely- the communication with your friends and family will lift your spirits and making the effort is important.

Making new friends is the most beneficial thing you can do; therefore, it will stop any temporary feelings of isolation as you can explore the new country with them and do activities. If when you get there you are a bit clueless, consider introducing yourself to your neighbours and get any possible information off them.
