Book Your Removalists Ahead Of Time
Moving interstate can often be long and complicated processes, so in order to avoid as much stress as possible, be sure to research and book your removalist’s early.
Choosing and locking in your removalists ahead of time will ensure that things go smoothly on moving day and remove any last-minute running around in the weeks before your move.
Organise & Declutter
Moving interstate is the perfect opportunity to get rid of anything you don’t use, want or need anymore. When you’re in a property for a while, you tend to collect a lot of belongings that you don’t necessarily need anymore.
Packing up your stuff is the perfect opportunity to sort through your belongings, especially considering that the more you get rid of, the less you have to pack and unpack again!
Organise Utilities & Services Before You Go
Utilities such as power, gas and internet can often take at least several days at a minimum to get set up. If you’re moving interstate, the last thing you want to find out after hours or travelling is that you forgot to connect your power and it’s going to be days before it’s able to be connected.
Organise your utility transfer or set up a new policy at least several weeks before your move to ensure it’s ready for when you arrive.
Storage Options
The chances that you won’t want to take some of your more bulky items are high, especially if you’re only taking the bare minimum with you or your new home is partially furnished.
If you’re planning on leaving some of your stuff behind, be sure to arrange storage to keep it safe. This could be your parents’ garage or a self-storage unit – either way, just be sure it is secure and watertight.
Protect Your Valuables
Finally, protecting your valuables on the move is so important. Write an inventory list of all your valuables and which boxes they are located in. You will also want to ensure that they are packed tight and that your fragile or breakable items are surrounded by packing supplies.
If you’re worried about sending fragile or valuable items with your removalists, you could choose to transport them yourself instead.
