If a move can immediately be synonymous with a nightmare, it's all just a question of common sense and organization. In this article you will find the best advice on how to organize a move so that it goes smoothly until the big day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sort out your accommodation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Moving represents a fantastic opportunity to clear the air around you by sorting out what is no longer useful to you. Changing house or apartment is indeed an opportunity to change decor and furniture, do not hesitate to sell, give or store furniture<\/a> and items that you do not want to take four or five months before your departure. Furthermore, by getting rid of it quickly, you will have less volume to transport, which will save you money on transport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving alone or with professionals?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you wish to entrust your move to a moving company, we advise you to obtain several quotes four to six months in advance. You will then have time to select the mover and the service package that will suit you and to determine a date for your departure for your contract. Be careful about the latter. A move in the middle of a weekend, at the end of the month or during the summer will increase the cost of your estimate. Conversely, if for budget reasons you prefer to take care of your move yourself, quickly compare the prices of rental trucks or utility vehicles so that you can reserve them in advance. As a truck or utility vehicle is in high demand throughout the year, it is better to plan well in advance. Evaluate the budget by taking into account the rental of the vehicle, the price of fuel depending on the distance to be traveled round trip, the purchase of boxes, packaging material<\/a> and protection (covers, bubble wrap, film, etc.). Also plan to rent handling equipment if you do not have any (hand truck, freight elevator, basket, etc.). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TO DO List of administrative procedures to carry out for a move<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A move is not limited to boxes and transport, it brings with it a certain number of administrative procedures to be carried out. This will include notifying your various insurance companies, your bank(s), your employer or P\u00f4le Emploi, your health organizations (mutual + social security), your retirement fund if you are retired, the tax funds, your various suppliers (gas, electricity, water, internet, telephone), the CAF if you are a recipient and if you are a tenant, remember to send notice of departure to your landlord or to the real estate agency that manages your rental house or apartment. If the latter must be sent three months before departure (or one month in certain situations), plan to notify all these organizations at least two months before your departure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pack your boxes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At least two months before moving day, start packing your boxes. This is the step that will take you the most time, so you can never get too far ahead of it. If you have opted for professional movers, they can provide them to you depending on the offer you have chosen. Otherwise or if you are moving alone, you will have no difficulty finding all the boxes you will need. From standard cardboard to wardrobe cardboard for your clothes, including lattice boxes and even book boxes, you will find on certain specialized sites like ours numerous offers of lots or complete kits for moving with complete peace of mind which include the packaging material (rolls of bubble wrap, rolls of adhesive, markers, etc.). Once well equipped, you will be able to efficiently pack and store all your belongings, especially the most fragile among them. Remember to clearly identify all your moving boxes using a marker if you want to find them quickly and arrange them quickly in each room upon your arrival before unpacking them. If you are afraid of not being able to store everything at once in your future home, do not hesitate to plan a transition period in order to store your furniture and other belongings temporarily or for a longer period in a storage unit for example. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carry out practical checks the day before the move<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This great adventure is almost coming to an end. Only one day left before you can sleep in your new house or apartment. If you have already managed to anticipate everything up to this point, this step will prove simple and will allow you to move as peacefully as possible. So, on the eve of your move, be sure to unplug and clean your household appliances (do not hesitate to defrost your freezer 48 or even 72 hours in advance). If you use a moving company, confirm the appointment time with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To conclude, moving is not as nightmarish as people would like us to believe when we are well organized and have the right equipment. For the latter you will find on our online site everything you need for packaging and protecting your furniture and all your belongings.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
