Moving homes alone is stressful enough; however, when moving with friends and family, this stress can be even more significant due to all the different personalities, needs, and ages of those involved—especially if you’re moving with children. Thoughtful planning and adequate preparation are essential to ensure the move goes as smoothly as possible.
In preparation for moving with friends and family, Royal Sydney Removals recommends the following steps to be taken before you move:
- Discuss the move with friends and family well in advance,
- Work together to select the best removalist company and
- Choose a fast, reliable, friendly, and affordable company like Royal Sydney Removals!
If you are moving with friends, we recommend you be responsible for your bedrooms and then divide the remaining rooms amongst you for an even split of the preparatory work. Preparing children well for this day is vital for moving with children.
Moving Day
- Get your kids to think of moving day like a sleepover and pack a “sleepover bag” of their necessary items, such as their mobile phone, charger, spare clothes and toiletries.
- If you are moving with friends, divide the responsibilities evenly between you.
- Keep drinks and healthy snacks on hand during the day. An esky or cold pack is ideal for keeping food and water until the refrigerator is ready for use at the new place.
- Assign individual roles to each friend or family member involved in the move.
If you have younger children, please let your removalists know:
We understand that babies and toddlers will have particular needs. If possible, we recommend that babies and young children not be involved in the moving process. We suggest asking a friend or relative to care for your young ones for the day, as this can be much less stressful for the child and you.
One other primary consideration when moving is your family pet(s). We are happy to help here; we love being entrusted to move your furry friends! We will take care of your fur babies and deliver them as soon as it is convenient for you, as this will help the new house become more familiar to children and adults.
In the New Home:
- Moving is hungry work, and if you’re a big group of friends or family, you will all be famished by the end of the day. To avoid the stress of not having dinner, having a pre-organised dinner ready or ordering takeout is a great idea!
