If you are moving home in Chesterfield there are a million and one things to deal with. OK, perhaps not quite that many, but you know what we mean. We have probably mentioned this before, but moving home is known to be one of the most stressful things that we ever do, and yet the average person in the UK moves home every seven years!

The problem with moving home is that you may well make lists of all the things you need to do – cancel the papers, tell your doctor, tell all your family and friends, cancel all your utility suppliers, make sure that you have utilities when you move in (you don’t want to be sitting in the dark!), set up your internet, advise HMRC, tell Royal Mail to redirect post, change addresses on suppliers websites (Amazon for instance) – and that’s just for starters! But as you start to do all of these things, you begin to find that there are more. So, you have to keep adding to the lists!

Then there is the actual move itself. You need to book well ahead with a removal firm so that you can be sure to get the exact day you want. Otherwise, you could find yourself having to go to a hotel for a week or two and put your furniture in storage, which all adds to the cost.

Of course, the actual move can be very expensive. If you haven’t moved for a few years, you may get a very nasty shock when you see a removal company quote in 2024.

Save Yourself Some Money

However, this is where you can actually save yourself quite a bit if you have a couple of family members or friends who are fit and would be willing to help you out. Why not carry out the move yourself? If you haven’t thought of that, it is well worth considering. After all, removal men are only human beings and if two of them can lift an empty wardrobe then so can you and a friend.
