Find Somewhere New


The very first step when you have sold your home is to find a new one. You may have been waiting for the sale before putting an offer on a new one. You can do this safely in the knowledge that your house sale will no longer fall through, this is a worry for many buyers. If you are busy looking for your new house there may be some specifics that you want it to have. Make sure you aren’t being too picky, as this will close you off to arranging a lot of viewings. When it comes to buying a home there has to be some give and take as not many houses out there are perfect. 


Make sure that you check out the area you want to move to, and ensure it has all local amenities close by. Doctors, dentists, schools, nurseries, and supermarkets if these are needed. Of course, you can travel to these places if you don’t mind. You should also be sure to check the crime rates, this will tell you if an area you are looking at is safe. The last thing you want is to move to a dangerous place. 



Pack Everything Up


Next, once you have a moving date then you will need to start packing everything up to move. This needs to be done carefully so you don’t break anything, for example, you may have very special and unique mosaic wall art. This is extremely breakable so you need to make sure you package it correctly and alert your packers to be careful as well. It is a good idea to invest in some big, strong moving boxes. If you are using a professional company then they may supply the boxes for you. 



Find A Moving Company


While you are packing away your belongings, it is a good idea to get a moving van booked. There are two ways you can do this, you can either hire a van and do this yourself, or you can book a moving company to do it for you. If you hire a moving company this may cost more but you will be able to rest easy knowing your stuff is in safe, capable hands. If you do it yourself then you may need all hands on deck helping out. 



Deep Clean


Finally, when your home is empty, it is a nice idea to conduct a thorough deep clean. This ensures the place is clean and tidy for the new people moving in. If you don’t fancy doing this yourself then you could look into hiring a cleaner to do it for you. Make sure to check the reviews of the company you are using to ensure they do a good enough job.
