It’s the end of the year and your lease is up, you’ve bought a new place or you are getting ready to move to a different city for that dream job you just landed. Now, you just need to get through the dreaded move. Packing up, moving house, unpacking…it’s a hack.
Take the stress out of moving with these tips by Teljoy to help you get the move done and dusted quickly so that you have more time to enjoy the holidays.
Create a folder
Get a dedicated folder for all the moving documents – and use it. From moving documents such as contracts or receipts to important personal information like passports, ID’s, licences and financial documents related to your new home such as the lease or bond documents. Keep all of this important paperwork together in one place to ensure you don’t lose anything you might need later on.
Moving checklist
Regardless whether this is your first or your 10th move, using a moving checklist is a must to ensure you don’t forget anything important or lose track of what’s happening. Break the move into smaller sections by creating weekly projects. Set certain tasks on your checklist for each week to make the job more manageable.
Renovate and shop first
Have a good look at your new place and plan to do any major renovations, such as putting in a new floor or painting the interior, before you move in. It is much easier to renovate before your furniture is in. This is also a great time to chuck out old, broken furniture and replace it with something new that will fit perfectly into the new space.
