Moving to a new house definitely takes a toll on the mind and energy, but you can lessen the stress by planning for it in advance. Consider these seven tips for a more seamless move.
Plan the Move at Least Two Months in Advance
Moving to The Arcady at Boon Keng can be exciting, but don’t forget that there are a lot of elements you have to take care of. That said, a successful move will require at least two months’ worth of planning, so don’t rush and work it out on your own time.
Make a List of To-Dos
Part of planning requires you to make a master ‘to-do list’ where packing and services are involved.
Packing. The more things you need to pack, the more time and effort required. Take note of the furniture, appliances, and other things, and buy the appropriate cover/box as necessary.
Home Services. Schedule a move for essential services such as the AC, your home internet, and any convenience you want in your new place.
Hiring a Moving Service. Book a moving service that will take care of your belongings.
Expect Delays
Have a contingency plan for when things don’t go as expected. You can add a few days or even a week, as well as have an emergency backup plan for a delayed move, for example.
Set the Perfect Moving Day
Take care of everything first, then set a move date that’s right for you. It can be on a weekday or weekend as long as you don’t have anything else to do, e.g., work or a responsibility.
Map the Location on the GPS
Opt for a straight line to the new house or condo with the help of technology. Set the location on your smartphone and simply follow the directions.
