When you’re purchasing a property, it’s always going to be a big undertaking. Not only do you want to make sure that you’re ready for it, but you need to ensure that you’re making the right decisions along the way. Plus, you also have to make sure that you’re organized. In this blog post, we’re going to take a look at the things you need to coordinate when moving home so that you’re able to plan ahead. Let’s get started.

1. The Moving Dates

Firstly, one of the most important things that you need to coordinate is the moving dates. Ideally, you’ll need to leave one property and move into the next on the same day. So it’s important to choose a day that works for you, but that will also line up with other buyers and sellers that might also be in your chain. When you have coordinated this, you can then get everything else organized.

2. Getting Your Stuff from A to B

Alongside that, you also need to make sure that you know how you’re going to get your stuff from your old residence to the new property that you’re buying. For most of us, we’ll be moving on the same day. So it’s important that you’re able to get packed and ready on time. If you’re moving further afield, make sure that you find the right long distance movers to help you. That way, you can take the pressure off knowing that you have experts in helping you get it done.

3. Getting Contractors in

If you know that the property you bought needs work, you will also need to think about coordinating your contractors. If you know that you need to get certain building work done before you can fully unpack, it’s important to think about lining up the right tradesmen to come in at the right time. Then, when it’s all done, you know you can settle into your new home.

4. The Financial Elements

Then, you have the financial side of things. Most of the time, you’re going to need to have all of the costs ready to go up front. So in the run-up to your move, you’ll want to make sure that you’re managing your money well. The last thing you want is to be caught short and for things to cost a lot more than you realize. Planning out the financial elements in advance will mean that you feel less stressed and pressured, and can get all of the moving costs and fees ironing out on the big day.

5. Making Sure Your Sale is Ready

Finally, if you’re also selling a home, you also need to make sure that you’re taking care of the property too. It’s important for you to make sure that it’s left in an appropriate condition and that the buyers are going to be happy when they move in. This is also something that you often have to coordinate while you’re packing up everything to move. Planning time in to do a last-minute check of anything or give everything a final once over can be a great idea here.
