Posted by Mountain Movers on December 11th, 2019

Moving to a new place is exciting. It’s always the start of something new. You are building a new life there. Don’t let the excitement of moving to a new place get marred by the difficulties of the moving process.

Moving all of your stuff to your new place can be replete with stress and challenges. But if you prepare well for them, your move can be easy and painless. Here are some of the common mistakes you should make when moving to a new place:

1. Not cleaning your new place first.

So, you packed all of your stuff and your old place is ready to be turned over to the new owners. But what about your new place? Has it been cleaned already? Is it ready to be inhabited? It is harder to clean your new place once all of your stuff has already been moved. You will have a hard time moving your things out of the way so you can clean the walls, ceiling, and the floor.

Set aside some time to thoroughly clean your new place while it is still bare. Do this a few days before the big move, so that you won’t have to live in dirt and dust.

2. Packing your things without a plan.

Having a system in place is essential when packing for a big move. You can’t aimlessly pack because that will lead to more chaos when you unpack in your new place. Find a system that you can follow. For instance, you can start packing all of the stuff you have in one room first. You can start with the least used rooms such as the garage or your bedroom. You can start by doing a major purge as well to reduce the amount of stuff you need to pack. Make sure everything is placed in labeled boxes, so you know where to get your things if you need them.

3. Not having a “first night bag”.

Unless you plan on having everything unpacked on your first day in your new house, make sure you have a bag where all your first night items are there. These are the things you will immediately use such as your toiletries, clean sheets, fresh clothes and so on.

4. Doing everything on your own.
