Moving to a new home is an exciting milestone, but it can also be a source of stress and anxiety. To help ensure a smooth transition, here are 10 essential tips for a stress-free house move
Start Planning Early
Begin preparations at least a month before your moving date. Early planning allows you to tackle tasks methodically, reducing last-minute pressures.
Declutter Your Home
Use this opportunity to sort through your belongings and set aside items you no longer need. Donating or selling these items can lighten your load, making the move more manageable.
Create a Moving Checklist
Outline all tasks to be completed before, during, and after the move. A comprehensive checklist ensures nothing is overlooked and helps keep you organized throughout the process.
Gather Quality Packing Supplies
Invest in sturdy boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, and markers. High-quality materials protect your belongings and prevent damage during transit.
Pack Strategically
Begin by packing items you use less frequently, such as seasonal clothing or decor. Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to, facilitating an easier unpacking process.
Hire Professional Movers
Engaging experienced movers can alleviate much of the stress associated with relocating. Professionals handle heavy lifting, ensure the safe transport of your items, and can offer additional services like packing and unpacking.
Notify Relevant Parties of Your Move
Inform utility companies, banks, and postal services about your change of address in advance. This proactive approach ensures essential services are transferred or set up in your new home without interruption.
Prepare an Essentials Box
Pack a separate box with necessities you’ll need immediately upon arrival, such as toiletries, a change of clothes, important documents, and basic kitchen supplies. Keeping this box accessible prevents unnecessary searching during the initial unpacking phase.
Take Care of Utilities and Services
Arrange for the disconnection of utilities at your current residence and the connection at your new home. Scheduling these services ahead of time ensures a comfortable transition without unexpected outages.
Stay Positive and Flexible
Maintaining a positive attitude and being adaptable to unforeseen challenges can significantly reduce stress. Remember that it’s normal for minor issues to arise; approaching them calmly will make the moving experience more pleasant.

Fantastic experience. The movers were careful with our belongings and communication before and during our house move was great. Would recommend to anyone! Made moving house a lot less stressful.
Great company I've been using for over 5+ years and never had a problem with Vince and his staff always keep me informed on everything and on the odd occasion when there's been delays I have been informed in good time which I totally respect and understand as removals can be a big job and take extra time.Thankyou all at LV for your excellent services we will continue to use and recommend for many years to come!
Idiot driving by their driver, he’s going up the M6 with fog lights on (there is NO fog)doing 45mph. Very very DANGEROUS driving on a busy motorway. AVOID AVOID
Great service! The guys were incredibly helpful & quick, making my move so much easier. Also really accommodating when I ended up needing to move more boxes than I originally planned, handling everything with ease. I’d happily use their services again & highly recommend them to anyone needing a stress-free move!
Great service and reasonable price from these gentleman’s. I was getting quoted £120+ for a waste removal job. You could get yourself a small skip for those prices and they quoted me £60 for my waste removal . Thank you guys
I have used this company's services several times and have never been disappointed.They're very calm, patient, very polite and handle everything with great care. The communication is effective and the prices are totally fair. I've recommended them to friends and family and they've all been happy with their professional services. Thank you Vince and Louis for your great work.

I’ve had the pleasure of using this company twice in the last few years with moves from Birmingham to Worcester and back again. The quality of service is 100 percent, and they are efficient and accommodating. Nothing is too difficult. Have recommended and will gladly do again, and again. Thanks Team
I contacted this company to help me clear out some Rubish I had from re- decorating our home and clearing out some trash, they where so nice and so helpful.They came on time and cleared everything up, their communication was top notch, and also charged me a reasonable price for the amount of trash I had.Will surely recommend them and definitely will be contacting them again.
Really nice and helpful workers and worked efficiently and quickly. Also the contact on phone was always quick and pleasant, Was the cheapest quote I got that day. Would recommend to anyone to try these
Birmingham to London, already a big move for myself, but was made so much easier with these guys. A seamless move down with the nicest people . All my belongings were taken well care of including my tv’s that got strapped in to save any damage. An amazing service and a very good price. Was an absolute pleasure to have them help me move to London. Thank you!
Quick and efficient in helping me move my furniture to my new house. Kept be updated with progress on a slight delay which was much appreciated and meant I was able to get on with other jobs instead of hanging around in the meantime. Very helpful and friendly and got everything done quickly and without a fuss, and all of my items were very securely fitted in the van.
When I called Vince to request a quote for the collection and disposal of my mattress, he answered my call courteously and pleasantly. He gave me an excellent rate which was, by far, the best of the quotes I had received. Thus, I had no hesitation in going with him. Vince was very reliable. On the day of the collection, he kept me updated with the time of arrival of his team. Everything was done smoothly and as planned. I am a very satisfied customer and would highly recommend Vince.
