1. Avoid Moving House on Fridays and Saturdays
These are the two busiest moving days. Moving and packing companies usually have their hands full and might charge you extra. By moving house in the middle of the week, you not only avoid bad traffic, but also won’t pay extra fees.

2. Research Your Moving Company in Advance
Go online and read reviews and forum posts. People rarely shy away if they’re tried a service they didn’t like. Ask friends and relatives for a recommendation if you don’t trust the internet that much.

3. Pack and Label Boxes
Pack all your household items properly and label all your boxes afterwards.This might sound like common sense, but most damages during moving house usually occur due to poor packing.

12. Prepare Extra Money
You can never know when you’re going to need extra money. For example: you’d have to find a new internet provider once you settle foot in your new home. Or you might have to order food for the first night at your new house.

Unexpected circumstances can always occur. For example: the sitter for your kids might not be available or you might run out of fuel in the middle of the way. Think of different situations and try to prepare for each as much as you can.
