It’s hard for all of us to switch to a new home. Frankly, it’s a lot of work as well. You’ll have to say goodbye to your friends and to your kind 70-year old neighbor who gives you tea when you’re locked out. The toughest part of moving out, is hiring reliable packers and movers. If you just lookup reliable Packers and movers in Pune or any city for that matter, you’ll be bombarded with ads from various providers and be confused on which one to choose! On top of all this, you’ll have to relocate to a new place and find new people, friends & restaurants there.
Yet, just because it’s hard work we can’t put it away. Sometimes, you have to learn to look at the brighter side of moving to a new home, finding new friends, and getting to know different ways of living. That’s why here are the top 4 things, you must dowhen moving to a new house:
- Forwarding people and messages to your new address
Your address is one of your identities, all of your mail is sent there and all of the friends know you only by that location. Thus obviously, it is important to let others know about your new location. I contacted my local postman and informed him my new location. I also sent a broadcast message to inform all my friends and family about my new home. Above all, it is important to inform your neighbours/ new tenants about your new home address as it’s really easy to miss a lot of people.
In the worst-case scenario, if someone comes to your house to see it locked or occupied with other people, they can always update them right at the moment.
- Disconnecting recurring services
After you’ve moved out of the house, you obviously don’t want milk or the newspaper to be delivered every day to the new tenants, from your pocket. Some of the most common services you must disconnect while moving away are:
- Television
- Landline & Internet
- Milk
- Gas
- Newspaper
And make sure you take a look at your monthly bills to find out more, as it’s really specific to each and every home.
- Updating Addresses in the books
Now that you’ve been reminded to inform the neighbors, the folks and your friends – let’s not forget the Government. If the previous address was your permanent address, it would be mentioned as a mode of communication in all your documents. This includes your bank account, your AADHAR, your Voter ID, your passport, your family card (and more!). It is important to update the new home address in private companies that have you as a client such as your workplace, your insurance(s), and more depending on your personal and family connections.
- Hiring Reliable Packers and Movers
This has been a difficult task for most of us, and often overlooked by many. Choosing a reliable packers and movers is important while switching to your new home because, you definitely don’t want to find your valuable things broken when you un-wrap them at your awesome new place.
