Your Move And Make Moving Easy


Your guideline for the move starts as early as eight weeks before the move. Make sure you have a reliable moving company, decide what you will take in the car and what will be shipped by way of the moving company. Four weeks before your move, you should notify creditors and friends with the new address. Make sure to check the requirements for changing your mail delivery as well as what you need to do for your driver's license eligibility. One week before the move, empty all appliances and clean them up for the move. Next, you need to make an inventory of all your property.

Make a detailed inventory of all your property as well as what their approximate worth is at that time. It is important to note everything you have in case you need the inventory for insurance claims or if you do not receive the item upon delivery. Sometimes you forget about the obvious things you use daily until it is to late. When the movers are packing or if you are packing, note which boxes have what items in them. This will help when you are looking for a specific item after you arrive at your new residence.

While you are making the inventory of your property, note any damage that may already be present such as scratches, dents or any other flaws. This will be your only proof of any possible damage from the move. After you have the inventory complete, make a copy of it and send it to your new address. Keep one for yourself for unpacking. If you notice any problems, you will have a sealed document in the mail of what the property looked like before the move. Some people even take pictures and mail them with the inventory list. A video works great as well. Make a smart move, keep records of everything, and hire a professional.
