8 Must-Do Things Before You Relocate Your Home
Moving your household is stressful and, if you’re not properly prepared, overwhelming. Not sure where to start? Fret not. We are here to help. These are the initial things you need to keep in mind for a successful relocation.
-
1. Fix a Budget
Keep aside the money you need for your pre-move and post-move process. You don’t want to end up spending more moolah than you anticipated.
-
2. Find Your Perfect Packers and Movers
There are many service providers out there. It’s a task to find the right one. Use Pikkol or the free Pikkol App to book packers and movers or hire a truck — conveniently and quickly.
-
3. Sort Your Stuff
Unless you're a minimalist, this one’s tough. Sort belongings, declutter, donate, or sell items you don’t need. This gives you clarity on packing time and inventory size. Don’t forget to secure your valuables before the D-day.
-
4. Branded Furniture
Some imported furniture requires company specialists to disassemble. Schedule them a day in advance. Most movers won’t handle such items.
-
5. Clean Out Your Kitchen
Use up or discard unopened packets and canned food. Defrost your freezer one or two days before the move. A clean kitchen = a smoother shift.
-
6. Essential Services
Notify your bank, post office, cable/internet provider, milkman, and newspaper vendor about the change in address and termination of services.
-
7. Children and Pets
Arrange a babysitter for kids and consider boarding options for pets during the moving day. It’ll reduce chaos and stress for all involved.
-
8. Getting Help
Even if you hire movers, ask your friends to help on moving day. They can assist with last-minute cleaning — and don't forget the champagne toast!
Cheers! Happy Moving.
