Discover 10 tips for a stress-free move

A new house or a beautiful apartment – the prospect of a new home is exciting, but the actual move can be quite stressful. Fortunately, you don't have to do it alone. With the professional help of De Jong Verhuizingen, you can count on a smooth and stress-free move. Here are 10 valuable tips to ensure your move with De Jong Verhuizingen is a seamless success. 

1. Plan ahead

Start planning early. Book your moving date well in advance to ensure you have enough time to organize everything.

2. Organize your belongings

Before you start packing, go through your items and sort out what you want to keep, donate, or throw away. The less you have, the less there is to move.

3. Packing materials

Make sure you have enough packing materials like boxes, packing paper, and tape. Use sturdy cardboard boxes of different sizes. For heavy items like books, opt for smaller boxes to distribute the weight. For lighter items like clothes, larger boxes work well. Ensure the boxes are in good condition without tears or damage.

4. Label everything

Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it’s destined for. This will save time when unpacking. In addition to labeling boxes with their contents, mark boxes with fragile items as "fragile" and those with essential items as "open on the first day." This helps make unpacking more organized.

5. Important documents

Keep important documents like passports, contracts, and medical records in a safe, easily accessible place.

6. Pack a survival kit

Put together a bag with essentials like toiletries, clothes, and snacks so you won’t have to search through moving boxes on your first day.

7. Communication

Stay in contact with De Jong Verhuizingen. Make sure you are well-informed about the schedule and any special requirements.

8. Prepare the new home

Ensure your new home is ready for your arrival. Cleaning and any renovations should be completed beforehand. This preparation will make the move go much smoother.

• Immediate comfort: If your new home is clean and any renovations are done, you can settle in comfortably right after moving. No unfinished projects or cluttered spaces to stress you out.

• Time-saving: Taking care of cleaning and repairs in advance saves you time on moving day, allowing you to focus on unpacking and setting up your new home. What a relief!

9. Hire professionals

Consider hiring professional movers for the heavy lifting. De Jong Verhuizingen offers experienced moving services to ease the burden for both private individuals and businesses.

10. Relax and enjoy

Moving doesn’t happen every day. And when it does, it marks an important chapter in your life. You’re leaving behind a place full of memories to embark on a new adventure in your brand-new home. Whether you plan to stay for a few years or forever, remember to relax and savor this special moment.
