How to handle moving without stress

The moving season is here. Are you moving into your own home, or are you just changing your lease? Are you moving for school or a new job? The necessary packing and moving is a given, but how about thinking about when to turn off utilities and energy, how to responsibly consume food before moving, or how to effectively sort out your wardrobe and make yourself and others happy? The solution is Villa Movers in Dubai.

Give yourself plenty of time to prepare.

That's the first and most important piece of advice. Although moving is a physically and mentally demanding event, we usually cause most of the stress ourselves, usually by leaving preparations until the last minute. So, when is the best time to start moving, and how should you proceed with the planning and preparations?

3 months before moving, don't forget about contracts and services

One of the first things to watch out for is the timely termination of a lease or sublease agreement. The notice period is usually set at two to three months in advance.

If you have energies written on you that are tied to the apartment unit, talk to the owner about whether he wants to transfer them to future tenants or directly to him. The actual transfer process is a matter of one to two months, but in the case of withdrawal from contracts with suppliers, expect a longer notice period - you can read advice and tips in our article.

Don't forget to cancel or re-register your contracts with your telephone, internet, and cable providers in good time. Most large companies have a one-month notice period, but some smaller companies require three months' notice of termination.

Routine maintenance and minor repairs typically include:

• Repairs and replacements of switches, sockets, and lights

• Minor repairs to washbasins, bathtubs, sinks, and stoves

• painting or wallpapering; cleaning floors, tiles, waste, and appliances

• repairs of individual parts of doors and windows and their components

• repairs to individual upper parts of floors, replacement of thresholds, and skirting boards

1 month before moving, the right time to get rid of unnecessary things

If you've been in your current home for a while, you've probably accumulated a lot of unnecessary stuff that you don't have the time or energy to sort through or throw away in your daily routine. Moving is the perfect time to sort through everything you have at home thoroughly. So, this should be the first step before you even unpack your boxes and start packing.

Finish line

At least a week before you move, arrange for temporary mail forwarding and move magazine subscriptions and other services or products to your new address. Also, don't forget to remove name tags from doors, mailboxes, and doorbells. If you live on a busy street or in a busy housing estate, arrange for a convenient parking space on the day of your move. Do the same at your new place of residence.

At your new home, obtain keys to the door, entrance, or shared storage areas from the building manager. If your move may cause inconvenience to others in the house, it is a good idea to warn your new neighbours, for example, that the elevator or parking spaces in front of the house may be occupied for an extended period.

Once you've made it to D-day, there's one more important task waiting for you - unpacking everything and slowly starting to settle in. But if you've planned and prepared everything carefully, unpacking should go smoothly. We wish you happiness in your new home!

Will my strength be enough or not?

Do you know someone with a van? In that case, it's probably not a big deal, but it's time to let your friends or family know that you need their help. If you're moving larger furniture, you'll probably need to hire Best Movers in Dubai. First, cast your net in your area - acquaintances can give you good advice or personal references - and then compare prices and read reviews online.

You can also order the dismantling and reassembly of furniture and help with its placement. Do not delay ordering moving services unnecessarily; a quality company can have a full calendar weeks in advance, especially for dates at the end of the month.
