An age-old question, should you build a house or buy a house? There are many advantages and disadvantages to both, so it will ultimately come down to what your particular situation is. Building your dream home is something everyone wants to do, but sometimes it’s just out of the question. This can be down to a number of factors, but it’s generally financial issues that are the main concern.

To build a new home there’s the cost of buying the land, employing builders and architects as well as the cost of furnishings and paint etc, then of course the whole moving process with a removals, packing and storage company. However you will be getting your dream home with everything in the home designed by you. That’s something that’s priceless. Although a house in the making can also take a long time to complete. If you want or need to be in a new place quickly there’s no doubt buying is the way to go.

Buying is also great if you have something in mind already with a figure in mind and don’t want to bother with all the drama of starting from scratch. It’s easy to blow to budget when you’re building, not so much when you buy. The downside of buying is that you probably won’t get exactly what you want, but you’ll come pretty close. You can always do some renovations at a later stage if you find yourself wishing you had a particular feature.

Also, with builing there’s not a lot a land left to build on in town, sure there’s a lot out in the country but what if you want to live in a particular suburb in London? You won’t find any land in London to build on for an affordable price that’s for sure !

Where you live is a very important factor in one’s life, it can even define who are as a person, what you like and dislike is easily reflected in your choice of suburb. So what happens when you’ve found the perfect house in the perfect suburb and you even scored big time with lovely neighbours, only to find out it’s all about to come crashing down around you?

Seeing a for sale sign in the yard of your neighbours house can be very dissapointing if you have really gotten to know and like the current tennants. Having great neighbours can make or break your lifestyle. If they have similar interests to you, kids around the same age and you get along with them it makes for a perfect scenario.

You might go to the park with them, have them over for dinner parties and might even share babysitting duties. The last thing you want to see is that removals truck pulling up outside their house to take them away and replace them with strangers who are probably fuddy duddy old people who are in bed by 6pm and call the police if one of the children accidently throws a football into their back yard.

If you do find yourself in this situation with new ridiculous neighbours, try your best to solve your problems without shouting or resorting to calling the authorities. If you are having a party, invite them, so they might not come but the thought was there. Try your best to get along with them and be as nice as you can, that way they will have less reason to be difficult with you. If it ever gets completely out of control you can always move!

Big Removals is London’s leading removals and storage company. If your new neighbours have driven you round the bend, call us and we’ll take care of all your moving requirements, call 0845 555 0660 or email sales@bigremovals.com

When you move house it can be a very stressful time for the whole family. Children in particular often find the move stressful as the thought of leaving familiar surroundings can be unsettling. However, there are many things you can do to ease the pain for your little ones, try turning the move into an adventure and make the home removals process an exciting one for them. By doing this, you will probably find the whole process easier for you as well.

Before the nig move, it’s vital to get your kids familiarised with the new house and area prior to the move, you can do this by driving by your new home as often as you can and showing the kids their new home and how lovely it will be when you all live there together. 

Talk about the move and what will happen on moving day so they are ready for it. Treat the move as a fun adventure and let your children pack a small box of things that are important to them, especially for the first night in the new home. You should also look to give your children a sense of closure as it will help them feel secure about the move. A nice way to achieve this is to throw a moving party for them and allow them to invite their little mates. 

When moving day finally arrives you should have someone mind the kids while you take care of the move. That way they are out of the way and will not be saddened by seeing all their belongings being placed into a truck and their home empty.

When you arrive at the new home, set up the kids rooms as quickly as possible so they can go straight into them and familiarise themselves with their new home. Once you are all set up have a special family dinner in the house to celebrate.

Moving house is a pretty big task, there’s a lot more to think about than simply transporting your belongings. Here is a checklist to follow for your move from one month prior.

Four weeks before your move:

• set a firm date for your move
• organise a home removals service, do your research and ask friends and family for recommendations
• arrange storage if you need it

• arrange redirection of mail

One week before the move:

• finish packing and ensure all boxes are correctly labelled with contents and rooms
• if packing all your stuff has left you with piles of rubbish, take it to the tip

On moving day:

• pack a survival kit for the first hours in your new home – include tea or coffee, kettle, mugs and teaspoons, water bottles, snacks etc
• make sure the house is clean
• strip the beds and keep the linen in a separate box that travels with you so you can use them on the first night
• disconnect remaining appliances
• do one final check of your house as the removalists are loading your boxes
• stay home until the last item is packed and make an inspection of the van to check all your goods are loaded
• close and lock all the doors and windows
• make sure you have the keys to your new home with you
• carry valuables, personal items and important papers with you so they don’t get lost

At your new home:

• check all items during unloading and unpacking – look for any damaged or missing items
• check the electricity/gas/phone has been switched on – if not, contact the suppliers
• start with essentials such as making the beds and cleaning the kitchen for use
• start familiarising yourself with the local area, shops, buses, cafes etc

It’s not the most pleasant thing in the world when you are told the office is moving to a new location. You’ve probably just got used to the commute in to your current office, have probably familarised yourself with the local coffee shops and bus routes only to be told you’ll have to do it all again at your new office in a matter of weeks.

You need to make sure you are told when to pack up your desk and how to pack up your desk, do they want you to use boxes or bags or something else? Find this out and go from there. The best way to move is to follow all the instructions you are given from the person who is supervising the office removals process. They may actually tell you to pack up your desk then take the next day off as they probably don’t want you in the new office while the computer and phone line guys are there installing everything, you’ll only get it the way. Too many cooks spoil the broth so to speak.

So the number one tip to a happy office move is to listen and obey all instructions! The next best tip is to pack your things in an organised manner so when you arrive at your new office it’s easy to find the things you need quickly and easily. The last thing you want is to be searching through boxes for that report that was due two days ago.

Another great ip for a happy office move is to not make waves about your new position in the office. If you used to have a window view and now you sit facing a big fat wall suck it up and deal with it. There may be some benefits to sitting there, such as not looking out the window all day, meaning you’ll get much more work done, you never know, you may end up getting yourself a promotion which in turn would lead to your own office! Don’t dwell on the immeadiate negatives.

Moving house is hard enough work without having to worry about how on earth you are going to pay for it all. Never fear, BigRemovals.com has come up with a few ways you can still manage to move house quickly and easily without breaking the bank.

One of the biggest costs associated with home removals is the cost of the removals company you choose to hire. The first step to choosing a good home removals company is doing your research. Go online and look for local companies in your area.

See if they any customer testimonials on their website, it’s a good sign if they do, it means they have done well in the past and their customers are proud to praise them in a public forum.

Once you’ve selected a few companies call them all and talk costs, insurance and availability. Don’t just go for the cheapest, go for the one that you think will provide the best overall service.

After you’ve sorted out which company you’ll use, you can look to packaging to save costs. Cut back on your clutter, move only the essentials. That way you’ll save money on packing items and on the move as you won’t need as much time so you won’t have to pay the removalists as much, this rings particularly true when you select a company who charge by the hour.

You can also save money by packing the items yourself instead of hiring a company to do it for you. All these little things can help you save in the long run, leaving you with more money to spend on your new house!
