Moving to Italy




For many people moving houses or relocating mean a headache, but if facing things with a positive attitude, moving can be taken as a chance for a change and not as a torment. Organization and smooth movers are the key to a non-complicated move, so let´s begin to detail how the moving process works.

Planning is the best option; you should know that the important elements to consider before a move are: the time and budget we have.

Get organized with the calendar
If you know the date when you will move, you can organize everything in advance. When you are ready to hire one of the recommended moving companies, pay special attention to dates and their availability, it is also important to get information on dates that are in high or low season. Frequently one of the busiest seasons is summer though the days prior to holidays are very busy too. During these periods of time the move is more expensive and complicated. You must also take into account that at the beginning of each month you usually have a heavier load of work so for moving this time of the month hire your company enough days in advance.

To achieve effective change, we offer below a few tricks:
  • The more detailed the description of your move, the more accurate the budget.
  • The lowest tender is not necessarily the best.
  • Find out the costs of extra services.
  • Provide contact information, to find it quickly.
10 Things to do during your move
A move is more than packing all your stuff in cardboard boxes and put them elsewhere. A move means to leave a place and its memories, to come to a new environment and be around new people. This process can usually be stressful and overwhelming.

Moving house is one of the most stressful things for people, herewith an easy-to-use list to organize a move with minimal effort.
  • The first thing to do when moving, is to sort and organize your belongings.
  • Get rid of everything that is not useful to your new home, fill boxes with items to be donated or go to the trash. Do not forget to check the closets of in rooms and the kitchen cabinets.
  • Before you start packing things keep a list of everything you need to have at hand, from buying boxes, labels, and adhesive to when to start packing.
  • Every time you fill a box, seal it properly and make sure to put a label stating the contents of the box and the room in the new house they should be allocated. It is also important to note the position where the box should be carried in case there are fragile things that cannot move much.
  • Protect your dishes and fragile items by wrapping them in newspaper to cushion the movement.
  • Objects are grouped according to their type during the packing process. For example, your bulbs for lamps, cups with saucers, hand shower holder, among others
  • Plan what you will move first to the new house, as large furniture, beds, refrigerator, and kitchen, among others.
  • On the other hand, if you want to clean the house after emptying, advance it on the days prior to the move. Always carry a list of things that need to be done and make sure to cross out what has been done.
  • If you have pets, purchase a cage that also serves as transport, you will not want to take the risk of having your pet escaping while everyone is busy and distracted with the move.
  • Once the last thing is already on the moving truck check every corner of the house to make sure you have not forgotten anything.
