From physical complaints to bad moving boxes and from the
'camping life' feeling to losing your belongings. Well, moving also brings with
it the necessary annoyances. Will these annoyances never occur again after
reading this blog? No, probably not. But we have listed the 10 largest for you
in the hope that with our tips, it will go a lot smoother.
1. Physical complaints
Fatigue, back pain, blisters… physical complaints can
especially bother you during the move. So make sure you get enough rest in the
evenings and make sure you eat and drink well during the day. Don't
underestimate that an average day of moving can be compared to a 10 km
marathon.
2. Help from others
And unfortunately, we are talking about the people who fall
under the category of 'viewers' rather than 'helpers.' They are the types who
get in the way just too often, take a break a little too often, or just don't do
much. Appearance? Make sure you ask the right people for the right tasks and
just be honest if you already have enough help.
3. Packing and unpacking
The bathroom stuff, your pan set, clothes, shoes, photo
frames... Everything must be packed! For proper packing, use high-quality protective
packaging material. It seems to take forever. To then unpack it again
when you step into your new palace. And that takes time and also attention. How
can you keep these annoyances to a minimum? Start on time and make sure you
have enough moving materials, sturdy moving boxes or moving blankets. Even
worse is when you damage your belongings or cannot move easily due to bad
moving material.
4. Hidden defects
When you move into your new home, the home will be in the
condition it is in at that time. In fact, this means that you buy a house with
all visible and invisible defects. Does a defect surface after the transfer of
the home? Then you, as the new owner, are often fully responsible for this. But
in some cases, there may be hidden defects where you can still hold the seller
liable for the damage afterward. In situations like this, make sure that you
always switch with your intermediary or broker in time to resolve this as well
as possible.
5. The camping life feeling
Living out of a shopping bag, cups with instant coffee, or
even a dixie temporarily in your backyard because the toilet is not ready yet.
It has its charms, but after a few days of intensive moving or doing odd jobs,
that cozy feeling becomes less. Of course, that depends entirely on how
intensive, and large your move and renovation will be. Try to limit it as much
as possible by planning your work and major jobs well.
6. Lost
Not all the stuff you have packed in advance can
mysteriously disappear during a move, but just think of the screwdriver, a
fitting or the cleaning stuff! Lots of essentials that you have lost or forgot
to take with you to start the day again. To limit? Keep things together as much
as possible, or provide a few extra materials.
7. Suppliers
The kitchen farmer who doesn't arrive on time, the mechanic
who shows up a day early or after the work has been done, it's a big mess. When
it comes to suppliers, some things also want to go wrong here. So make clear
agreements in advance and have this confirmed by email. This way, you can avoid
as many misunderstandings as possible.
8. Bad packaging material
Stuff that gets wet is damaged or, in the worst case, can no
longer be used. So don't think about it! And that is why having good and sturdy
packaging material is essential. Moving Boxes Store offers a wide range of
moving materials so that you can safely transfer your belongings.
9. Transport
Your move requires good logistics planning. How do you get
all that furniture, moving boxes, and other belongings to your new palace? And
preferably as quickly, efficiently, and cheaply as possible! Before moving,
cover your mattress in a mattress
moving cover. Tip? Try to keep practicality in mind and avoid the
cowboy scenes on the highway when your triangle ties up the couch on your c1 ;)
10. The Perpetual Doubter
Waiting hours, days or even weeks to take a close. Sorting
out the coffee table, wallpaper or doorknobs can take forever. Think logically,
don't let others influence you too much, and have faith in your own choices.
Hesitating for too long can result in late orders or even unnecessary extra
costs.
