Thinking of planning a residential or commercial move this upcoming spring and don’t know what to put on your itinerary? When it comes to a smooth move, you can’t afford to be complacent. To get a better perspective about your spring move and ensure safe planning, here’s a guide that you can follow.
Plan in Advance
Planning well in advance gives you the upper hand through the whole process. As spring is one of the busiest times of the year with regards to the real estate domain, it’s best to plan the booking of moving services, finalize the moving date, pack all your necessary equipment and choose a feasible route with less traffic or smooth asphalt that could meet your time-bound requirement. Furthermore, formulate a proper budget that provides you your finance distribution, spread across the moving services and other utilities.
Beware of the Weather
An untimely rain or drizzling snow might not be an uncommon occurrence in the spring. Due to this unpredictable weather during the springtime, have a watchful eye over the weather forecast before making your planned move. Wrap your utilities in waterproof coverings for your boxes and furniture while also using plastic bags or wraps for relatively smaller items. Be prepared with sheaths of clothes, such as rain jackets, rain boots and umbrellas. A backup plan would also be to call your movers to arrive a couple of days before the move in case they are delayed by the weather.
Transfer Utilities in Advance
Before you move to your new home, ensure that you have contacted the appropriate authorities regarding your house utilities. The phone calls for the heat, water, electricity, cable or internet connection transfers might take a while as spring is a popular moving season. Be proactive and make the necessary calls before the relocation.
Discard Unnecessary Items
This is where you come to the conclusion of decluttering inessential items that hoard a lot of space. Go through all your items and sort out the things you want to carry forward to your new place and the ones you want to discard. A great option such as a yard sale would not only relieve you of your space but also make you easy bucks. The pleasant summer weather gravitates your neighbors and people out of their houses and increases the chances of your furniture catching more than a couple of eyes.
Circumvent the Pollens
One of the shortcomings of a spring move is the obstacle of pollen in your way. The spring plants, albeit gorgeous, release pollen that can settle on your exposed furniture. To avoid this, wrap your furniture well in advance before bringing them out of the house for the move. Pollen might also cause your allergies to act up, hence it is recommended to take your medicines before going out and avoid early morning moves as this time has the highest concentration of pollen.
Book your Movers Early
