When you’re a student, moving house can be a huge end of term hassle when really all you want to do is say goodbye to people before the summer. That is why speeding up your house move can have huge benefits when it comes getting to the pub on time!
So if you’ve got a night out looming and need to get your flat move wrapped up ASAP, check out the below tips to see how you can speed things up.
1. Plan Your Move
While planning may not be very cool, it is a great way of making sure you’ve got everything in place. A well-thought out plan can help to make sure you’ve got everything you need for the big day and can help to reduce the amount of things that will get in your way. So if you don’t want to be running around searching for removal boxes or tape while the moving van waits, make sure you have a plan in place before the big day!
2. Clear Out Before The Big Day
The fewer things you have to move the quicker your move will be. So, if you want your house move to be over with ASAP then it makes sense for you to have a clear-out before the big day. Unwanted clothes, books, CD’s and DVD’s can all be donated to charity or sold online, giving you fewer things to pack and lug around on moving day. If you have furniture that you don’t want to keep then some charity shops will even come and collect this off you for free.
3. Pack In Advance Of Moving Day
If you have a tight moving schedule then doing as much as you can before the move can help you to save time on the day. So if you have non-essential items that you can pack then getting this done a day or two before the move can have a big impact on how well you keep to your moving schedule. With fewer jobs to do on the morning of your move, you can focus 100% on packing the car up and getting things out.
4. Make A Moving Checklist
If you’ve ever moved house only to realise that you’ve left something behind then you’ll know just how time-consuming this can be. Getting the keys back from the landlord and then trekking back across the city can all add serious hours to your moving time. Writing a moving checklist can help to put a stop to such disasters and can make sure that you don’t run too late on the big day!
5. Clean Before Moving Day
When you live in rented accommodation getting your bond back is dependent on the state in which you leave the house or flat. And while you may have your house move all planned out, it is easy to underestimate just how long the cleaning will take even once you’ve moved everything out. By cleaning what you can before moving day, you will have all the more time to enjoy yourself on the night!
6. Get Some Professional Help
If your student funds aren’t running on dry then hiring a professional removal company can help you to save a serious amount of time when it comes to house removals. Comprehensive services can take care of all of your packing, lifting and loading so that you have nothing to worry about. So if you’ve not come up with a fool-proof plan to save yourself some time then you could splash out and let the professional movers sort it for you instead!
