Even when the reason behind a house relocation is a positive one, such as moving together with your partner or getting the house of your dream, there is no denying that such an experience is filled with all kinds of emotions. That is why this big transition can be quite stressful and nerve-wracking at times. But there are some types of home moves that can be particularly unpleasant. Granted, this is not a universal rule and some people do not really have a problem when they find themselves in these situations but for the majority of mankind’s representatives these following relocations scenarios are a true nightmare:

• Moving back to your parent’s home as an adult
• Moving into the house of your in-laws
• Moving out after a tough break-up or a divorce

According to one of the most talked-about engineers and tech entrepreneurs of our time, Elon Musk, a person’s smartphone is like an extension to them and namely that makes us all… cyborgs. If you are not feeling like a cyborg, maybe you are not putting the powers and functions of your smart gadget to good use. For instance, did you know that your hi-tech cell phone can provide you with valuable assistance when you are planning a home relocation? Believe it or not but your smartphone will help you:

As a rule, moving out of a 2-bedroom home will require you to use about 30 mid-sized boxes, 20 large and 10 extra-large ones. The thing is that a great number of families prefer to use only large and extra-large cardboard boxes thinking that this will save them time when packing and unpacking. That, however, is a mistake because these options are not a universal solution. They are mainly suitable for items that are:

• Big in size but light in weight
• Small in size but with a light to medium weight
• Soft (preferably)
• Non-fragile (preferably)

If you do not stick to these basic rules, you will either have a problem handling the boxes or you will end up breaking some of your precious possessions.

How large are large moving boxes?

Typically, a large cardboard box measure 18” x 18” x 24” and...

It is hard to tell how much time it will take you to fully adjust to your new home. The speed with which one gets used to a new environment depends on many different things. For example, if you have moved within your old area of residence you are likely to adapt to the situation faster than if you were to relocate to a different city or country. It also depends on the type of person you are. For some people, 1-2 days are more than enough to adjust to the house or flat to which they have just moved. Others can spend one or even two years before they start to feel comfortable in their home.

Since it can be hard to predict how long it will take you to get used to this major life change, it won’t hurt if you play it safe...

Moving homes is a great occasion to start anew. If you want to part with the majority of your furniture and appliances before you settle down at your new address, but you still feel like not simply throwing it away, there are a few things that you can do in order to give it new life and purpose.

Give to a friend or family member

Regardless of being old, some of your furniture may still be in a usable condition. Ask around your social circle if someone needs a sofa or a dining room table you do not plan on utilising anymore. By giving it away, you will be doing some good, which is a sufficient reason in itself. You can decide if you would accept money for the deed, or you will be doing it just due to a charitable mood. If you do not want money, but the person taking the items insists, you m...

No matter how responsible and mature your children are, they will still rely on your assistance when they are moving into their university’s halls of residence. Needless to say, that help will need to be both financial and logistical. So you may want to set some money aside in advance for a top-notch student removal service in London. Even if you have a spacious car, an equipped and insured moving van is always a safer way to transport your kid’s belongings. Other invaluable student moving tips for parents we can give you are the following dos and don’ts:

• Do not rely on your own experience
• Don’t turn it into a huge family affair
• Do read the halls of residence’s rules and policies
• Don’t bring everything
• Do use cardboard boxes

You may not agree with all of these recommendations...

Let’s face it – moving can be quite expensive. So it is only natural that you would be tempted to try and shave off some of the final cost for the experience by cutting corners here and there...

In an ideal world, moving would be an easy, fast and hassle-free experience that will not require too much planning, preparation or organisation.
