stress-free moving: Start planning well in advance
Moving takes some time. Your entire home must fit in boxes, things must be cleaned, and a moving company must be hired unless you get help in another way. Change of address must be notified, subscription must be moved, and so on. Not to mention moving cleaning, unpacking, and getting organized in the new place. Sound like a headache already? With a little planning, taking things in order, and checking off a checklist, you minimize the stress and the move goes better.
Create a budget for your move
A move costs money and to stay within the given limits, you should set up a budget. Moving yourself is the cheapest option but also the most complicated. If your move is not that extensive, it is good if you can move yourself or with the help of friends or family. If you are moving from a villa, or if you are a whole family moving, it may be worth using the help of Villa Movers in Dubai. calculate everything and you will get a good overview and can choose the right option for you.
If you hire a moving company
· Set a budget for the moving company and compare different moving companies.
· Decide if you will do the moving cleaning yourself or if you will hire a cleaning company for it. Sometimes the moving company can also help with the cleaning. You can use the RUT deduction to reduce the cost.
If you are moving yourself
If you are not using a moving company, compare different moving vehicles that you can rent. Expect that you need a car with approx. 10 km capacity per room. A home with one room and a kitchen therefore needs a moving van with a packing space of around 15-20 cubic meters if you don't want to make several rounds.
Should you pay your friends a little as a thank you? Set aside money for it.
Also set aside money for things like cardboard, tape wrapping paper, and more.
Don't wait to book moving assistance
Few people manage to move completely on their own. Either you need to hire a moving company or rent a moving trailer/moving truck and enlist the help of family and friends. Hiring Furniture Movers Dubai is usually a little more expensive, but on the other hand, they are used to carrying heavy things and know how to fill best the moving truck, which means that the move often goes smoother and faster.
Things to consider if you hire a moving company
· Compare different moving companies, check references and reviews before you book, and ask for different quotes to compare prices. Also, ask your circle of acquaintances if they have good experience with any company.
· Check if they work under liability insurance because your home insurance is not sufficient.
· Notify the company if you have difficulty to move or extra heavy items, such as a piano or a giant sofa. Sometimes they charge extra for that.
· If you don't already have enough moving boxes, you can rent them from the moving company.

· Throw away - broken knick-knacks you might as well throw away/recycle.
· Sell - what you don't need but is worth selling, sell it!
