[SV] Move smoothly with 9 tips!

Are you moving soon?
Avoid moving chaos by following the tips from Flyttjakt.nu.

1. write a checklist!
Write down everything you need to do before your move so you don’t forget anything important.
This will help you get organised and feel in control of your move.
If you’d like a ready-made checklist, check out Move Hunt’s pre-move checklist.

2. declutter!
What better time to declutter than when you’re moving?
After all, it’s unnecessary to bring things to the new home that will be in the attic anyway.
Sell or give away what you don’t use. This will also give you more room in the removal van for what you actually need.

3. Keep track of your contracts and subscriptions!
A few months before the move, it’s a good idea to check all your subscriptions and contracts as some may have a long cancellation period.
Cancel these in time to avoid double costs. Also make sure that your electricity contract will take effect at your new address on the day you move in.

4. Identify your moving needs.
Think about what you need help with and what you can do yourself.
Remember that you can also hire a removal company for individual services if you don’t need help with everything from packing to cleaning.
Book your movers well in advance to ensure that you have help on your desired moving day.
Especially if you’re moving during the peak season or on a red-letter day, it’s a good idea to ask for quotes well in advance as removal companies’ calendars book up quickly.

5. Compare removal companies!
As there are big differences in both price and quality, it pays to ask for several quotes.
Via Move Hunt, you can submit a free quote request and get up to eight quotes to compare.
If you want to know right away what your move with a removal company would cost, you can use their moving calculator that gives you a price estimate.

6 Use good moving boxes.
To protect your belongings, it’s important to use moving boxes that will last the entire move.
Make sure you don’t pack boxes that are too heavy, as this will make them harder to carry and increase the risk of something breaking.

7. Label the boxes according to their contents.
To make unpacking easier, it’s a good idea to label the boxes by content or by room.

8. Protect your belongings.
Remember to protect fragile items with bubble wrap or other packing material.
If you don’t have bubble wrap, you can also protect your belongings with clothes or newspaper.

9. pack a “survival kit”.
This is a bag with things you will need for the first night and morning in your new home.
For example, you can pack sheets, a towel, toothbrush, phone charger, toiletries and a change of clothes.

Good luck with the move!
