Between moving in, finalizing the paperwork, and getting settled, moving into a new home can be a stressful situation. Fortunately, however, there are plenty of for-hire services available to make the process smoother. These can be a great choice if you’re feeling overwhelmed with all the things that need to be done while moving in. Here are 3 useful services you can hire which can make moving into a new home a cinch.
Bill Transfer Services
Changing your address yourself was a fairly simple process when you only had to notify the electricity, water, and heating companies of your change of address, but when including Wi-Fi and other subscription services, the whole process can get surprisingly long-winded. Thankfully, there are plenty of online change of address services out there today which can turn this process into as simple as a few clicks.
Naturally, as part of moving in, you will need to inform your utility companies that you have changed your address. This will ensure you do not get a huge unexpected bill a few months into living in your new home, and that you are no longer paying the bills for a house you no longer live in. Many of these companies also offer a free comparison of utility company prices for your new home, to ensure you are getting the best deal.
Moving In Cleaners
You never know what condition your new home will be left in when you move in, and even if it is fairly clean, dust and grime can quickly accumulate when moving in new items. Once you have completed the majority of the move-in process, you may therefore consider investing in move in cleaning services from a professional cleaner.
It can also be beneficial for your new home if it is reset into top condition before you get comfortable. Just some of the services included in a deep move in clean are all floors being cleaned, all surfaces being dusted, and deep cleaning of all appliances. Alternately, many companies also offer light cleaning services if there is not too much work to be done.
Removal Companies
When packing up your items in preparation to move houses, you may be tempted to rent a van and try moving the stuff yourself, in order to save money. However, given the logistics often involved, you may find that it is much more stressful than it’s worth, particularly if you have a lot of items that need moving.
On the other hand, hiring removal companies to do the task for you comes with a host of benefits. First, while moving and unpacking heavy items like sofas and refrigerators can be exhausting, multiple-day work, hiring a company will make the whole process much more convenient. In addition, many companies offer insurance policies for items, in case any of them get damaged in transit. Finally, many removal companies also offer unpacking services, which can make the overall moving in process a lot quicker on both sides.
