We all know that moving house can be one of the most stressful experiences. But by adding a relocation to an unfamiliar area into the equation, things can get a lot more stressful.
You might be moving for a new job, for romance or simply because you’ve always wanted to live in a certain area. It could be something that you’ve planned for some time or a move that has come out the blue because of circumstances out of your control. Whatever the reasoning, there are some tips to follow when moving to a new area.
Before the move
If you don’t know Market Harborough, or any area that you’re moving to, well, be sure to visit for more than just a day. Stay in a nearby hotel for a couple of nights and get a true feel for the area and what it would actually be like to live there.
The key to making the move is to plan in advance. Things you need to do:
– Check local schools, enrolment dates and catchment areas
– Pack away your belongings well in advance of the move
– Notify your utility providers
– Speak to knowledgeable people in the area you’re moving to
– Book a removal company
– Monitor the local housing market
– Research, research, research
– Prepare for stress and lots of effort
After the move
Once you’ve got everything packed away and you’re settled into a new job, you can begin getting other aspects of your life back on track, such as finding a new gym nearby for you to join.
If you plan everything in advance, there really won’t be much left for you to do once you’ve de-packed and introduced yourself to the community. Thankfully, Market Harborough has a welcoming community that holds many events for you to get involved in. If you’re keen to introduce yourself to residents and neighbours, hold an open house and invite the people that live on your street.
