Top Tips For Moving House Smoothly!

Moving house has been named as one of the most stressful activities, taking even more of a toll on people than the breakdown of a relationship and divorce, with 62% of people saying it is the most stressful thing they have been through. However, there are a few things you can do to ensure you remain organised and have a smooth move; so keep reading for a few top tips that will get you moving house smoothly!

Find A Good Estate Agent

When it comes to choosing an estate agent, it’s important to choose the right one. Not only can it impact on the price you get for your property, but it can also effect the entire process of selling your home. The list of what can go wrong through the selling process is endless – leaseholds can become confusing, offers can be placed and then withdrawn, contracts might be delayed – but having an estate agent you can trust can make all of the difference.

49% of us think our agent will rip us off, whilst 54% say the fees are too high, but there are plenty of good agents out there. One of the best things you can do is undertake research on the popular firms out there, and nip in to your local branches. Finding out who relatives and friends might have used in the past will be a great help in determining your estate agent too!

Knowing what you want in terms of price and selling timelines will be a huge help as well, as this can ensure you are completely transparent with all parties and can ensure a smooth transaction. When you are getting your house valued it’s a good idea to have a ballpark figure in mind, and when it goes to market discuss with your agent what the minimum price is that you will take for your property; this will help them understand who is a qualified buyer for your home.

Experienced Conveyancer

If you are a first time buyer, you might not even realise that you need a conveyancing solicitor; however, this is one of the most important things you should remember whether you are buying or selling. Residential conveyancing ensures the legal transfer of ownership of property or land from one person to another, and ensuring you have an experienced conveyancer will help ensure everything is taken care.  It’s important to know that your conveyancer will oversee the process and leave no loose ends untied!

Hire a Removal Company

It can be easy to get stressed when you are in the process of moving. However, there are professionals out there that can make the process ten times easier for you. Hiring an experienced removals crew will take so much weight off your chest as they will do most of the hard work for you. Just make sure that you do research beforehand to ensure that hiring a removal team will fit in your budget and that you are hiring a reputable crew.

Don’t Get Overwhelmed

Whether you are moving down the road or to another town completely, it can be a complicated process. One of the most important things you can do is not get too overwhelmed throughout everything. Ensuring you have the right people in place, i.e. the estate agent, and conveyancing lawyer will help you be safe in the knowledge that your move can be done without a hitch, or you can dream anyway. Preparing for your move in the correct way is the final aspect to consider, give yourself time and be thorough in your planning, to make sure you have everything in place to move out of your old home and into the new one which will reduce the stress significantly!
