Are you moving homes? Irrespective of moving within the city or outside, it can be a costly affair for you. However, with proper planning and execution, you may end up saving some costs attached to shifting homes. Check out this listicle on how you can plan a cost-effective relocation.
- Plan properly: First, fix a tentative date and plan your strategy around it. You can identify and evaluate the various professional movers and packers services on the basis of their rates. You can also evaluate the DIY model, if you especially have furniture that can be dismantled and are compact.
- Notify society authorities: Before moving out and while moving in, ensure you notify both the building authorities so that you are in line with the society rules and regulations. Failure of this may result in paying a fine or other financial losses like denying permission to offload the truck etc.
- Declutter your house: Identify the most important things that you want to carry along and dispose the other things from the existing house itself.
- Move on weekdays: While weekends and holidays are convenient times for people to shift, remember that these are the also the most sought after times and hence movers and packers services may be available at a premium. It’s a good idea to move on weekdays.
- Get the new things delivered in your new house: If you order any fixtures or furniture, it’s a good idea to get them delivered to the new place instead of getting them delivered them to your current location and then you spending money transporting them.
- Shared transport: If you have less things to transport, you may explore the option of sharing with another party or opt for a smaller vehicle.
