But wait, many tough jobs are waiting for you which you need to complete before you move! All these tasks require your complete focus and can leave you confused about which one to do first.

But there’s no need to fear because we’re here to help you to complete your relocation process safely, and with correct planning and preparation, you can ensure you are stress-free throughout your relocation. When you finish each task step by step, it’s easier to keep track of time and amount of work to be done. You can relax sooner and enjoy your quality time in your new home with your family.

Let’s discuss essential tips which will make your relocation a hassle-free experience:

1. Create a moving calendar: Prepare a moving calendar which consists of all the tasks you have to do before shifting your home. But you might be tensed which work should be completed at first and which one in the end. So, it’s always a better option to create a moving calendar before 2-4 weeks of your shifting date. It will help you to complete all your tasks at the right time without forgetting anything.
2. Set your shifting budget as per your requirement: Once you start preparing for your relocation, the most important thing to do is calculate how much you can spend for your shifting. If you have not set a budget or you are not aware of the shifting charges, you can be cheated at any point of your relocation. So, it's better to set your budget at the beginning and list out your requirements clearly, and then start finding a good moving company according to your budget and shifting requirements.
3. Sort all your stuff: Shifting becomes hectic because of the large number of goods. So don’t be lazy, get up and start sorting all your stuff to try to reduce the number of things to move. Divide them into two sections; the first one should be necessary and the second should be unnecessary. Now, you will think about what to do with these unwanted goods, don’t worry you can sell them (online or offline) and earn some money, or you can donate them in charity or some needy people, and you can bring happiness on someone’s face.
4. Hire a reliable Packers and Movers: Once, you are done with sorting your unnecessary goods, it’s time to hire a professional Moving Service Provider who will minimize your shifting stress. But don’t be in a hurry while selecting your Movers; be prepared to ask the right questions and contact at least 3 Packers and Movers near you, before making your selection. You must check their reviews on different websites like; MouthShut, Google+, Facebook, etc. and remember to check if they have any previous customer complaints. You can also contact well-reputed reference company like AssureShift to get the quickest and best hiring solutions to find a reliable Shifting Company as per your needs.
5. Guide your Movers to pack and label all your boxes correctly: After hiring an expert Shifting service provider, try to be available at the time the movers arrive at your place. Guide them to pack and label all your boxes properly. Even though they are expert in this field, if you are available at that time, you can see how they are packing and labeling your goods. Because, if you are not aware of your packed boxes, you might get confused when you start unpacking and rearranging your things at your new home.
6. Request for disconnection and reconnection of your home utilities: Never forget to inform your utility service provider and tell them about your shifting plan in advance. Request them to disconnect all the utilities (like; electricity, gas, water supply, internet connection, cable, etc.) in your old home on the actual moving date. And reconnect them at your new address on your shifting date (if they provide service at your new address). It will help you start life in your new place without any disturbance in your daily routine.
7. Update your new address in all important firms: Before shifting remember to update your new home address at all the essential firms like Post office, banks, tax agencies, kid’s school, insurance company, etc. so that you will not miss important emails and post sent by them. Also, remember to inform your friends and families about your new home, and organize a surprise party and invite them over to enjoy some quality time with them.
8. Purchase Moving Insurance: When you’re shifting to any part across the country, you know that your Movers will take care of your goods; but, you should also have a backup plan in case of damages or loss during transit. To avoid this risk, you must purchase Insurance on your goods and sit back relaxed without any stress as your goods will be safe at any cost.
9. Stop buying grocery one week before your shifting date: Throwing away your food items is a terrible idea in the last moment of your shifting. So, it’s better to stop purchasing groceries before one week of your moving date. Try to make your meals at home using all the food you have left or you can also give leftover food items to needy people around you.
10. Remember to check the security system at your new home: You are going to shift in your new home and the safety of your dear ones should be your priority. So, always remember to check that your new home is having a security system (CCTV camera, alarms system, etc.) installed or not. If they are not installed previously, you must install it before shifting to keep your family and home safe and secure.

We hope that these above-mentioned tips will help you prepare well for your house shifting and you will have a smooth relocation experience.
