When moving house to other suburbs in Adelaide, the process might seem simple, but there are still numerous things to arrange before the day of the move. Adelaide’s inner city neighbourhoods, established suburbs and expanding residential developments can mean different requirements for access and timing each move. Making moving in Adelaide easier just depends on making the arrangements in advance from packing to arranging the safe transport.
Avoid the hassle of rescheduling your move.
Prior to transfer day, check that key information is finalized.
- Schedule a moving date and time.
- Confirm the handover/lease dates for both properties.
- Arrange for the new home to be open to the movers on time.
- Give your moving company both of your addresses and key access details.
- Do not leave any paperwork, keys or personal necessities, including medication, with anyone else.
Nothing is worse than the last minute chaos when handing over a property with a clear plan.
Check Access at Both Properties
One of the common missed aspects of a local move is the access to the property.
Consider:
- Short driveways, doorways, etc.
- Stairs and several levels
- Access to apartment/unit.
- Limited parking space
- Other large furniture that needs special attention.
- The gap between the truck and door
Adelaide suburbs can have very different property layouts. The moving crew needs to be prepared for these conditions; also, by providing these details, you will have time to work out practical solutions to access issues.
Clear out before packing!
There is no need to take absolutely everything from the old house to the new house.
Prior to packing; divide into:
- Keep
- Donate
- Sell
- Dispose
Less Stuff = Easier to Pack, Load and Unload. It also provides you with a clean start in your new suburb.
This is especially helpful when relocating from a big house to a smaller unit or apartment. If unwanted things are taken out in advance there is less to take and arrange.
Pack With Moving Day in Mind
Consider using items that are not used on a daily basis.
- Label boxes according to rooms.
- Designate delicate items and properties for separate transport.
- Have an “essentials” bag with you; that is one separate from your regular bag.
- Keep precious items and documents close to your body.
- Don’t leave packing until the last minute.
If the amount of packing, unpacking and organising is getting the better of you – call in the professionals.
Moving protection and safe handling is also included with moving services by Shine Movers.
Keep things like toiletries, chargers, clothes and ‘must keep’ paperwork close at hand.
Allow for specialist items and larger items like furniture.
Not all items can be placed in regular boxes.
If you have large furniture, appliances and specialty items, talk to your moving company ahead of time. Shine Movers offers you residential moving services, furniture moving services and piano moving services to assist with various types of possessions in the moving process.
If the new home you have has narrow doors, stairs or small rooms, then you will need to measure larger furniture. When loading and unloading, it can save time to know what can be loaded through the available space.
Don’t be hasty!
Transitioning from a suburb to the other is not only a simple change of address. It’s not only switching one from the other, but also involves a lot of patience. It takes time to load, unload and move around the property.
Do not try to make the move in between the old and new home. If it takes longer than anticipated to load, or if there is an access delay, the day will be easier if given more time.
If your dates don’t line up, then Arrange Storage
Sometimes, you won’t have an old home and a new home at the same time.
In those circumstances, it is easier to make the transition with storage as opposed to having to fit everything into the new home at once.
Moving and storage services include both transportation and storage options, providing increased flexibility for those with less-than-ideal moving schedules.
This may be beneficial if there is a time frame between property settlements, lease dates and/or moving arrangements.
