The perfect choice of a date for your relocation is one of the most essential steps of the entire relocation, because it can determine whether you can spend time and efforts or you may have to deal with a quite overwhelming moving day. Discuss the options with your coordinator from the moving agency, and find the best date that is suitable for your needs, as well as matches the recommendations of the agency. They have a greater experience and knowledge, which can help fix a better day. Or else, if you do everything by yourself, you should know at least a few of the main factors to consider. Check them out:
– The conditions with your job schedule and the school terms of your kids should be high on the agenda. Ask all the family members about a preferred day for the move and make sure one is happy with the choice. Otherwise, if you book your relocation and cancel it in the last moment – you may have to pay extra fees, which is not a great option.
– The weather conditions make no exception from the most important factors. There are two main issues that the weather may cause – one, it can make the road traffic quite challenging for driving a huge removal van and two, the weather plays a major role for the safety of your belongings. That`s why it is recommended to avoid moving house in the mid-summer, especially if you plan to move in in a coastal cottage near a resort area or in the mid-winter when it comes to a mountain lodge near a mountain resort area. The hustle and bustle through the roads in the middle of the seasons can really make the drive quite challenging, especially if the new house is located quite further from the old one. Not to mention the situation in the big cities when everyone is coming or going to somewhere. It might be a real nightmare to drive a huge removal van through the narrow city streets, as well as avoid the traffic jams, and try to find a parking place for the huge van. On the other hand, the weather is often a main factor for the safety of your belongings if you don`t pay more attention when packing and preparing your belongings for the move. Always check out the weather forecast for the preferred moving day and reschedule it if needed. Avoid moving in a rainy or snowy day, because the electronic devices are vulnerable to the water and the high humidity or you have to seal them in extra wrappings and bags. Avoid the too cold or the too hot days, as the extreme temperature may cause damages to the lacquer coating of the furnishings, for example.
– Pick up a moving day, according to the benefits that you can get from the moving company. There are companies that offer numerous complimentary services during a specific time of the year. The same applies for different discounts and the required fees. That`s why it is important to find the perfect company for your move and the best way to do it is to request numerous quotes from different companies. Further, follow their sites and updates about their services. All these factors are very important if moving on a budged. Another great tip is to book your move as soon as possible so to make sure that the company will be at your disposal at the preferred moving day.
