It’s also worth leaving a list of useful points about your house such as where the stopcock is, what the alarm code is, any issues that you know of such as leaky tap or faulty switch, and any trades that you use that they may want to contact such as window cleaner and milkman.

If you happen to have older kids or teenagers you can get them involved using the same techniques or maybe a simple promise of a night out on their new town. Take them out to see a movie, go to the mall or out to eat at a local popular eatery. Try being creative, Calgary is a fun town for all ages. Museums, theme parks, theatres, plays, sport complexes or school groups.

So heres a summary of what are some very useful moving tips (from Office movers Calgary) :

Moving house costs.

A lot.

Why would you want to add to this cost by paying to move things you don’t use or need?

We all have items in our house that have long been forgotten – usually ending up in the garage, loft or shed, but they could be lurking anywhere.

Before you start your packing is the perfect time to go through everything and have a good sort out.

Moving is a fresh start, so the last thing you want to take with you are things that you don’t need or use any longer.

Decluttering before you sell means that you only move what you really need – and you will not only save money by doing so, but you will also save time in the new house by not having to unpack and deal with all that stuff in the future.

I call that a win-win!

Take a look behind your living room TV.

What do you see?

Chances are it’s a mass of wires and plugs – working perfectly for you but confusing to say the least.

A really great tip is to get some coloured stickers** and stick the same colour to each socket and each end of the cable – so that you can easily set everything technical up in your new home.

To go one step further – why not take a photo of the setup so you can have a visual reminder as well.

Moving when you have children can have its own set of issues. Children often don’t want to move as they like routine and are unsure of the unknown.

If you get them involved in the process and excited about the move then it can take this uncertainty out of the equation.

Get them to pack their own box for the move, and remember to pack this into your car on moving day (the last thing you want is for this specific box to go missing.).

In it you can have things like: –

Favourite teddy / doll
Book to read
Bedroom items to create their own space asap
Nightlight / reading lamp / torch
Toys
Photos
Change of clothes and bedtime clothes
Bathroom bag

You can then get them to unpack this themselves which will help them feel right at home immediately.

There’s nothing worse than getting to a new house and having to open all the boxes to find the night light they won’t sleep without..

The following list is a guide that most rental agencies will use to determine the size of truck you’ll need. Just remember that this is a guide only:

26′ will move 4+ bedrooms
24′ will move 3-4 bedrooms
17′ will move 2-3 bedrooms
14′ will move 1-2 bedrooms
10′ will move a studio or small 1-bedroom apartment

For your upcoming move you have decided to rent a moving truck but have no clue what truck size you should get – Sound like you? If you search the web you will find many references and opinions, some extremely generic (14′ will move 1-2 bedrooms) and others offering a more advanced opinion (12 ft. truck = 450 cu. ft.). The problem, we believe at least, lies in the interpretation of information provided – 1-2 bedrooms may mean something completely different in Arizona than in New York City.

The simplest way to choose your rental truck size is to eliminate possibilities that do not exist in your situation. For example, if you have chosen to utilize Budget Truck you will only have three available size options: 10′, 16′ and 24′. In case you’re wondering, 94% of people relocating with a rental truck choose their company based on price or geographical limitations. With that in mind we can assume that most people will have between 3 and 5 truck size options to choose from depending on which company is being used.

You will likely find that a larger truck (see medium sizes below) costs the same or sometimes less than a small truck. This is because most companies don’t have an extensive inventory of small trucks whereas they usually have a large inventory of medium trucks.

With the exception of the 20′ U-Haul, all of the trucks in this size range require diesel fuel. Remember to factor the cost difference of diesel fuel into your overall moving budget.

We know choosing your rental truck size can be difficult, especially if your moving long distance. If you still need more help we recommend reviewing another one of our relocation guides, choosing a rental truck size. We hope that our guide to choosing the correct rental truck size was helpful for you. We leave you with some final tips and advice not otherwise covered in this blog:

If you’re moving locally this should be a no-brainer. Truck rentals used for local moves are billable at a per day and mileage rate, the daily price may vary by $10-$20 depending on the size. In other words, spend the extra few bucks and get the larger truck just to be sure.

Moving house doesn’t have to be stressful. Here are some tips …

Cover the openings of your toiletries with saran wrap, then put the tops back on.

Make a detailed corresponding list of what’s in each box by number. This makes it easier to make sure you didn’t forget any boxes, or god forbid, someone stole one. AND, if there’s anything valuable in there, you won’t be broadcasting it to the world by writing it down right there on the box.

A good starting point will be rooms and items you use the least. The spare bedroom, garage or attic are usually easy places to start.

Leave everyday items until the day before the move and keep any essentials items such as medication separately.

Decluttering before you sell means that you only move what you really need – and you will not only save money by doing so, but you will also save time in the new house by not having to unpack and deal with all that stuff in the future.
