Moving to a New Home? Getting Out in the Right Way

Set Up Your Home for Relocation

Congratulations on your new place! In a new home, there are so many exciting things you can do, like move to a new neighbourhood or redecorate. There could be an extra bedroom or a bigger kitchen as well.

It's important to plan ahead of time for the move out of your existing residence. As soon as you've moved out of your home, you need to make sure that it's in a good condition for the new owners to move in to.

No one wants to come home to dirty floors, filthy window sills, clogged gutters, and overgrown lawns. What would your first impression be if you arrived at your new house to discover it unkempt and chaotic?

There are a few things you should do before allowing Movers Northcote to come inside your property. Here's what you need to do to ensure that your home is in the best possible condition before you leave.

1. Wipe off all surfaces.

This comprises storage units, cupboards, and wardrobes, as well as window sills, shelves, and light fixtures.

2. Vacuum thoroughly.

Make sure to vacuum every area in the house, including the inside of your closets. Use the vacuum to remove spider webs from the ceilings as well.

3. Ventilate the house.

As a general rule, open all of the windows, as well as some doors, to allow fresh air to circulate throughout the house. To get rid of any lingering odors before the new owner arrives in, do this.

4. Set up an email redirection

Moving into a new house and having mail from the previous owners pile up in your letterbox is the most annoying thing you can think of. Do not do that! Make sure that your mail is redirected to your new location. In case old friends send you something and don't know that you've moved, you can tell the new owners your new address, so they can send it to you.

5. Take care of your gutters

To ensure that the house is left in beautiful shape, remove all clogged and blocked gutters and drainpipes. Check the gutters and drainpipes of your new property as well, as they may require some work before you move in. Keep your gutters clean of dirt long-term, and only let free-flowing water through your drains with this method. They are Melbourne's gutter protection and bird-proofing experts.
