Hello! My name is Mikey and this is my moving and storage blog. I was inspired to start this blog following a move I made from Perth to Melbourne. I had lived in Perth for the past 7 years so I had acquired a lot of stuff. I was dreading the move because I didn't know how I would transport all of my stuff to my new home. Thankfully, a chum of mine recommended a fantastic moving and storage company. The moving contractors helped me to organise and move my things. I really couldn't have done it without them so I decided to start a new blog detailing my experience.

The Ultimate House Relocation Guide For Homeowners
Miguel Mitchell
Although you might have relocated several times before, the experience is never the same. Each move is different, making the task completely unique. The enthusiasm that comes with moving into a new home is real but so is the stress. So, before things get out of control, it's essential to know the basics of a smooth move — this includes organising, planning and moving. Here is an ideal home relocation guide.
Planning
Once you decide to move, the first step is to find a house you'd like to move to. Choose a place that will be perfect for your family to settle and begin a new life. While this may seem easy, the procedure can be frustrating at time. Consider starting early, unless your move is unexpected.
Your budget needs to be fixed at this stage. Stick to it to avoid overspending. Most people face challenges when moving because of failing to set a budget, which leads to unnecessary spending or the piling of expenses. All expenses should be factored in, no matter how insignificant they are. From the funds you will use to buy supplies to the amount the furniture removalists will charge, the budget list must consider everything. Other than helping you avoid confusion, your expenses will be kept in check.
It's also important to get in touch with the removals company as early as possible. Get all details to avoid any delays on the final day. Without their assistance, the relocation process can become stressful. Once you're sure of moving, book the service.
Organising
Since everything needs to be organised efficiently and fast, it's crucial to create a schedule for each relocation chore. This ensures every task is completed within the set deadlines and unnecessary delays are avoided. Keep the timetable at a visible location.
Packing happens to be the most demanding task when moving. Start by purchasing all the packing supplies if you don't have any. Contact the removalists, and you'll get all the supplies they can provide like cardboard boxes, bubble wrap and much more. Items like label markers, tapes, scissors and newspapers are easy to find, too.
Then, it's time to start packing. Handle one room at a time then move to the next one. Everything from the clothes to décor should be packed well, and you should place labels on each box. To avoid rushing the packing process, consider starting early and don't delay.
Moving
The removalists are in charge here so, stay calm and check every room to make sure everything is placed in the moving truck. Then lock the windows and doors to prevent break-ins and give the house documents and keys to the rightful owner.
Talk with furniture removalists about your next move to make it easier and less stressful for you and your family.
