Moving in the Rain

Man with a van weatherMoving houses in the rain???...hmm... Not the best idea right! But unfortunately we live in London, and the weather is never constant for too long. For example, at one instance our city is covered in clouds and rain, and then as quick as a blink of an eye, the sun is out... But not for too long!When moving houses in the rain, the complications are not just the possibility of items and belongings being damaged by the wet weather, yet also the possibility that health and safety of our finest man and van boys may be jeopardized.

Handy tips for your House move

There is no way of avoiding a house move. Although it can easily spiral into a nightmare, you can make it a very pleasant and enjoy-full one. If you want the move to a successful one, a plan is a must have! You wouldn't think planning your packing would be useful but it does play a big part in having a stress free move.The items to pack last (couple of hours prior to the man with a van arriving) would be your cleaning products, Vacuum and your gloves. While packing your belongings into boxes - make sure to label these, as this will enable the movers to place the boxes into the appropriate rooms when they arrive at the other end. The packed and label boxes should be placed either in the living area or the room closest to the entrance as this will help minimise the removal time (saving you money). Finally do not forget to clean all the empty rooms prior the removal men arriving. This will save you from coming back to the property and spending a day cleaning.

Does your new House number bring you Luck?

How superstitious are you? Let's face it, when moving the last thing to worry about is whether the number and door colour of your new residence will bring you any luck or any unwanted bad luck! No matter how superstitious you are, most people would never consider this when moving. This would indeed be the last thing to worry when there is a million and one problem to organise and solve when in the process of a house move.
