Tips For A Happy House Move To Ruislip

Posted on 26/08/2014

When we talk of moving, the word happy doesn’t really come to mind much. However, having a happy house move to London and the area of Ruislip is not something so hard to imagine and accomplish. In fact, relocations are equally exciting and intimidating. If you want to feel really happy about the house move and focus on the benefits, it’s all about your attitude and how you see the notion of moving. It’s true that the process of moving is incredibly stressful and tiresome, but all the work is worth it. Moving to London could easily turn out to be one of the best decisions of your life. It’s a chance to start fresh, have a better life, more job opportunities and better education for your children. All of these are only few of the benefits. Moving to London is indeed a happy experience, so make sure you see it as one.

Of course there are some basic rules which you should follow to ensure a successful and easy house move. One of the rules of having an easy house move is to simplify it as much as possible. Make sure you take all of the boxes and the furniture as close to the front door as possible. Once the moving truck is parked outside your home, the distance between the door and the truck has to be as short as possible. This way carrying and loading will be faster and easier and you won’t be charged an extra fee for inconvenience. If you have items in the attic or basement, carry them outside so the movers don’t have to do that themselves. Starting the packing and clearance process earlier will ensure fairly distributed tasks for each day. If you stack boxes one over the other, be careful not to put too many. Make sure your children stay away from the moving action, especially if they are too young to help. It’s best if somebody can look after them while you are too busy packing and preparing to leave the house.

One of the ways to ensure a happy move and a great new home is by getting rid of the clutter. Don’t add more trips to your destination just because you haven’t thrown away the old furniture and electronics that have been piling up in your garage or basement for years. It’s too expensive to move house and pack these days so spare yourself this expense. When packing make sure that you keep the boxes smaller and more compatible – smaller boxes are sturdier and can carry heavier items with ease. It’s also easier to transport more with your own vehicle. Get plenty of bubble wrap for the glassware and dishes. Bubble wrap is the perfect packing material for all things fragile and valuable. Don’t forget to wrap well all mattresses and use packing tape to secure the edges too.

When it comes to moving house, one of the things that are worth spending a bit more on is the removals company you hire. A reputable mover is someone you can trust and rely on and this will ensure a successful move. Whether you will have an easy and happy move to London depends on how well you prepare for it and research all the moving details in advance.
