When the time comes to retire, you may wish to downsize to a smaller home or one that is easier to navigate—perhaps one with everything on one floor. You might even wish to relocating closer to your older children so they can help you if you become ill—or simply to spend more time with your grandchildren. Here are some pointers to make your relocating go as smoothly as possible.
Take Proper Time
Begin early, and then do a little bit every day to make it less of a challenge. Moving, especially from your childhood home, can be emotionally draining, so do it slowly. It’s fine if you only clean one drawer or one cabinet per day. You’ll eventually finish the list of tasks if you take tiny steps every day.
Reduce Your Belongings
First, choose the items that mean the most to you. Set them away for your new house. Give your antiques to your children or loved ones to preserve if they won’t fit in your new home.
If you really cannot bear the thought of letting them go, consider storing them with your removalist via removals and storage, where you can visit them whenever you want. If there is space in your new home for them, you can have the removalist move them over there.
Inform Family and Friends
Make sure your family, friends, and healthcare providers are all aware of your new address. Notify Australia Post and your banks about your relocation. Make arrangements to have your utilities shut off at your previous home and switched back on before you arrive at your new home.
Take Advantage of Available Assistance
Welcome family and friends who want to help you in packing your things, and bring meals during the packing or moving process. It is always good to inquire with your removalist about their movers and packers service, which will pack your belongings for you. You might be amazed at how little this extra service costs, and it can save you a lot of stress and time.
