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
• organise transit and/or storage insurance for your belongings
• organise your travel plans for moving day – if you’re moving some distance, you may need to book a hotel or other accommodation
• if necessary, book time off work
• collect or have your moving materials delivered 
• start notifying businesses and suppliers of your change of address

Two weeks before your move:

• start packing non-essential items and clothing and write the items packed on the outside of the box
• arrange for disconnection and reconnection of electricity, gas, telephone etc services at your new address
• make a list of the items you want the removalist to move and any items you’ll be moving yourself
• 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

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!

Moving house shouldn’t be a nerve-wracking experience. It should be exciting and happy as you are about to move to what’s probably your ideal location and home. So it’s important to get help during this time and not try to take it all on alone.

You will need help packing and moving to make it all easier for yourself so don’t be afraid to get help from the professionals such as home removals companies. There are plenty of them out there all looking for a quick buck, so you need to make sure you do your research to find a removals company that’s affordable, but more importantly reliable and trustworthy. After all, you are entrusting them with your belongings, you need to make sure they are credible people.

The first thing you should find out is whether the company has insurance, so that if their truck is in an accident and all your furniture gets ruined, you know you are covered. Most companies are covered for about £100 000 but be sure to find out in any case.

The next thing you should do is go to their website and look for customer references and testimonials, see what other people have had to say about the company. The best way to be sure they are trustworthy is to talk to people who have already used their services.

You should also find out about how they charge their rates. Do they charge by the hour and if so, when does the time start? From when they leave their premises or from when they get to you. Most companies will start the time from when they arrive at your place, but ask the question in any case as there are some sneaky ones around.

Once you are happy with the choice of removal company you’ve made, keep in regular contact with them and be sure to fill in the paperwork when they ask you to, it makes organising your move that little bit easier for them.

You wouldn’t think that moving house could send you into the arms of a new lover, but real life stories prove it can happen! There was the story in London recently of a home removals man who went to move a woman from her Notting Hill abode only to find it was Elle Macpherson. Needless to say he worked his charm during the move and the pair of them were an item for a little while much to the envy of all his co workers who weren’t assigned to that job.

So keep your eyes peeled ladies, the men who come to pack up your belongings and move your furniture could be the man of your dreams. At least you know they can lift heavy objects and would come in handy around the house. You could even lend him out to your friends for help in the moving department.

Then there’s always the potential of the new neighbours. The boy next door really could be the love of your life! Once you’ve moved into your new neighbourhood, try to get acquainted with your neighbours, not only to scope them out for potential hotties but you never know when you might need their help.

You always want to have them on your side, that way they will be more forgiving if you have a party till four in the morning. Or if you run out of milk one morning and can’t be bothered running down to the shops. In anycase, moving house can often mean finding love!
