Moving to a new house can be a very exciting time. You’ll get to make a new place your own. You can host a house warming party and as they say, a change is as good as a rest. It can be refreshing moving into a new house. 

But there is a great deal of stress that goes along with moving homes. There is a lot that will need to be sorted ahead of the move, and packing up all of the items that you own in the world can be both physically and mentally draining. 

There may be times that you and your partner or family may bicker due to the stress that you are all under, and it can be hard to manage your feelings when it comes to the stress of moving. 

The best way to avoid stress is to plan your move well. Here are a few top tips for dealing with your home move in the least stressful way possible. 

Hire Someone To Help

Moving house is a lot of work. Everything that you own will need to get boxed up and moved to a completely different address. This takes a lot of effort and you may be worried about damaging things in transit. 

Hiring a company like On The Go Moving will mean that you won’t have to do all of the heavy lifting. You will get a professional crew of movers who are experienced and quick and safely moving your furniture and possession without a hiccup. 

Start Early 

If you want a stress free move, the earlier that you can start to pack the better. This will allow you to get a good head start on the long slow process that is required ahead of your move. 

Start by boxing up items that you won’t be needing anytime soon. The more you can do without until you move, the better.  Be sure that you don’t pack anything that you will need until after you have moved.

Pack Carefully

There are two things that may really cause you to stress once you arrive in your new home. Firstly, not knowing where anything is when you start unpacking. And secondly, when you start unpacking and you find something that has broken along the way. 

There is a way to minimize the risk of both of these stressful outcomes and that is to pack carefully and be organized as you do so. 

Packing similar items together and marking up your box with what is inside will help you. Label the box with the room that you want it to be put into when you move so that boxes will go straight to the correct place. 

Don’t overload boxes, particularly if you are filling them with heavier items such as books. You would not want them splitting as you carry them. 

Delicate items should be wrapped up and the box should be labeled informing the movers to handle the box with care.
