			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tips To Pack For The Upcoming Move</p>
<p>Author: Nancy Davies</p>
<p>Every move is a bit different, however they all have certain aspects in common. Each move needs proper organizing, packing, handling the companies that will do the move, unpacking at the new location and several others. Packing for the move is an essential part of any home or office relocation and this should not be taken lightly.<br />
Every item in your home needs to be packed separately and some will need more care than others. For example you might have items of glass, such as bottles, or vases or art decor items, and they need special care when packed. If you are not sure how to go about packing such fragile items, you can always employ the services of a professional packing crew, however you need to know that they will charge a fee for it, so you have to know their fees well in advance to avoid any surprises.<br />
Also you will need good, sturdy boxes for your packing so that their bottoms don&#8217;t fall out during the move. You can find good packing boxes for moving in many places online or at your local stores, such as the supermarket, hardware store, bookstore or others. Afterall they need good boxes for transporting their own goods from the warehouse to the shops in the first place. Most of them will allow you to take a number of boxes from their location, all you need to do is transport them away yourself.<br />
Special care needs to be taken with packing things that are very expensive and not easily replaceable. You need to see whether you can actually insure those items during the move. All you need is contact your personal home insurance agent and ask him about the cover his company is offering in these cases. When packing things on your own, you can use double wall corrugated boxes that are much sturdier than the regular boxes, so even if the boxes fall down, they will protect your items much better. Of course you will also need extra packing paper for cushioning against any accidental fall.<br />
You can easily use newspaper for packing the single items separately, however depending on your belongings, the newspaper might leave stains which will be difficult to clean afterwards. So make sure you only use it for items that don&#8217;t care for any possible staining. Also newspaper can easily make your own hands dirty and then if you later on touch something else before washing your hands, you will stain anything that you are touching as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Useful Tips on Moving On and Moving Out</p>
<p>Author: Alfred Halfnight</p>
<p>Home buying may be a challenge that you either haven&#8217;t taken yet, or have postponed till the time feels right. If that&#8217;s the case, then your waiting is almost over. Property prices listed at Estate Agents throughout the capitol are lower then they&#8217;ve been for the last 15 years, so you&#8217;d better seize the moment and advance on buying a home. Or, if your budget does not allow you to buy a house, you may consider moving to a bigger, better and brighter place, that will be more suitable for both you and your family. Rents have decreased proportionally to property prices. So, if you&#8217;re close to signing a deal and vacating your London residence, you&#8217;d probably be in need of end of tenancy cleaning. In that&#8217;s the case, here are a few tips on how to make the entire experience of moving out and setting in a new place entirely more enjoyable.</p>
<p>First off, you need to do your homework! The number of companies in the greater London area offering these services is really high, so choosing the right one will make the transition of &#8220;abandoning&#8221; your current residence and moving to a new one much more convenient. And will probably save you a lot of cash as well. So, if you&#8217;re smart, you&#8217;d make sure to book your cleaning company at least two or three weeks prior to the date, when you&#8217;d need them. In that way, you will not only benefit from a discount, but will save yourself the trouble of having to synchronize your schedule with the company&#8217;s. You don&#8217;t want to have to ask them to &#8220;squeeze you in&#8221;, right?</p>
<p>If steam carpet cleaning is required by your landlord, or you just want to start off living in your new residence with a clean foot, giving notice and shopping around is key. Believe it or not, summer is a high season for cleaning and the cleaning market tends to be swamped by July, so the sooner you make your arrangements, the better deal you&#8217;ll get. Discounts may reach up to 50%! Also, if you&#8217;re renting a place and your luck runs out, leaving you to clean after the previous occupants of your new house, a junk removal service may come in handy. For rubbish removals London has a lot of companies to offer and in order to get in line for the bigger and better ones, you should book in advance. After all, if you could get a deal for less than £100, you&#8217;d better hurry and seal it off, right?</p>
<p>Bottom line is, seize the day. Most London cleaning companies will be able to provide a free quotation via e-mail or even a phone call, so all you&#8217;ve got to do is make sure you don&#8217;t waste your time and book on time. Before you know it, your new residence will be clean and junk free, and your moving experience&#8230; Not the horror you expected.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No two people are going to pack alike.  One person will swear that room by room, everything at once, is the only way to go, while another will insist that each room will require two packing sessions—one for those items that are not used as often, then another one to get everything else.  </p>
<p>How it should be done is an individual thing, and what works for you is the method that should be used.  It is evident, however, that items such as books, seasonal decorations or ornaments, and off-season clothing can be among the earliest things packed, AFTER de-cluttering has occurred, of course.  IF IT’S NOT BEING USED, DON’T PACK IT!</p>
<p>Once initial packing has begun, it will probably be easier to make and adhere to a packing schedule.  The very act of beginning to put things in boxes and containers will enable you to see exactly what should be considered essential, and what can be packed sooner.</p>
<p>Garages and outbuildings can be packed almost immediately after residence and relocation arrangements have been finalized, followed by spare or guest bedrooms.  Books, DVDs, and artwork can also be packed fairly early.  </p>
<p>Bedrooms and much-used areas, such as the living room, kitchen, and dining area, will have to wait until close to the last minute—but enough time should be allowed to make sure that packing these rooms is not a rush job, or that they are not being completely packed on the day of the move itself.</p>
<p>Those who work out of a home office should notify clients and other essential personnel of the move, and set a date for when the office will be “closed” at the old residence.  All necessary business should be taken care prior to that date.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On the day of the move, if a moving company has been engaged, one will only need to supervise the loading, transporting, unloading, and, possibly setting up.  If the move is being accomplished with the help of family and/or friends, then those who are involved will need to be present and ready to go. </p>
<p>Rooms should be emptied individually.  A re-check should be done, with attention to closets and cupboards, to ensure that everything has been removed.  The room should then be swept, mopped, or vacuumed, if necessary, and the door closed.  </p>
<p>It should be understood that a closed door means a room is emptied, cleaned, and done with.  This way, there will be no chance that dirt is tracked into a clean room, or that anything is inadvertantly set down in a room and possibly forgotten.</p>
<p>It may be wise to keep some empty boxes and bags on hand, in the event that a closet was overlooked, or some things simply could not be packed until the last minute.  The containers should be clearly labeled, and care taken to ensure that they are loaded.</p>
<p>Any necessary items, such as supplies needed for infant or child care, or any medications that must be taken regularly throughout the day, should be kept separate from all other items.  Additionally, important papers, documents, or especially valuable items should be kept separate, secure, and accessible to the owner.</p>
<p>Utilities should be turned off, or arrangements should be made for them to be discontinued within the next few days.  The former occupant may also want to take meter readings, and ensure that there no water damage can occur while the house is vacant.</p>
<p>Last looks should be taken, memories stored for future recollection, one chapter closed, and another one opened in life. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The week just prior to the move will be the time for “tying up all loose ends”.  Notifications of changes of address should have already been sent or made to the appropriate agencies, and the week before can be used to follow up on these.  This will ensure that mail continues to be received in a timely manner.</p>
<p>It should be determined that banks and other financial agencies have been made aware of address changes.  This will eliminate any problems, and will aid in maintaining security of records.</p>
<p>Arrangements for the commencement of utility and other services at the new residence should be made during this final week.  In this way, it will be guaranteed that the house will indeed be ready for occupancy upon moving in.  Likewise, it may be wise to contact utility companies, to ensure that they are aware of discontinuance of services to the old house.</p>
<p>Packing should be completed to the fullest extent possible.  It will still be necessary to retain some items, as life must continue in the old residence right up until the day of departure.  </p>
<p>However, as each day passes, more and more things, such as clothing and shoes can be finally packed.</p>
<p>Appliances should be inspected and cleaned during the final week.  Attention should be given to any perishable food that is still in the home.  If there is a chance that the food cannot be moved without thawing or reaching a dangerous temperature level, it should be consumed, given away, or thrown away.  </p>
<p>Those rooms that are being used the least can be cleaned during the last week.  This will eliminate having to do them on the final day, when it will be necessary to clean those rooms that were still being utilized until the final day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Boxes are best packing belongings.  They come in many sizes, and, when packed properly, can hold several items.  A fairly sturdy box will only need a little extra tape at stress points to further strengthen it.</p>
<p>It is important that boxes can be easily handled.  It does no good to pack a large box as full as it will go if the box cannot be moved with relative ease once it has been packed.  Also, while they may hold more, larger boxes will require more space in the transport vehicle, and indeed may not allow for the vehicle to be packed in such a way that all available space can be used.</p>
<p>Clothing, bedding, and other “soft” items can be packed in bags; however, care must be taken to ensure that the bags are either properly labeled to where no error can be made as to what bags contain belongings and what bags may contain garbage, refuse, or even items marked for charity or giveaway. </p>
<p>Packing containers should be loaded in such a way as to make the most use of all available space.  Larger objects should be placed inside first, then the area around the item packed with smaller items.  </p>
<p>Proper labeling is very important for those who are moving.  Boxes can usually be written on directly; however,it may be necessary to find a means of properly labeling a bag. Labeling should not only reflect the contents, but also where the particular container should go.</p>
<p>Unpacking will probably take longer than initial packing.  Again, this is where proper labeling and wise use of moving containers is crucial.  Items that will be needed immediately should be packed and labeled accordingly; other articles can then be unpacked as time as necessity dictates.  Unpacking may take up to two months to complete.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are probably as many ways to pack as there are packing containers and materials.  Therefore, the best way to pack will be the way that best suits the individual person or family.</p>
<p>It will probably take approximately four weeks for packing to be completed.  Therefore, thought should be given as to what can be packed immediately, and what may need to be packed later.</p>
<p>It is always a good idea to begin the process of elimination before any actual packing is begun.  There is no need to pack something if it is not going to be moved and used in the new location.</p>
<p>Once all unnecessary items have been taken care of, seasonal clothing and items as well as belongings in any lesser-used rooms can be packed.  Books, videos, DVDs, and things of that nature can be packed, as can items in any garages, outbuildings, or storage areas.  Once the items in garages, outbuildings, or storage areas are packed, the resulting space can be used to store the already packed items.  </p>
<p>Essential items, of course, will have to be packed over the last few days; however, bedroom items that can be spared can be packed.  This can include extra bed clothing, and decorative throws or pillows.  Likewise, clothing can be packed, especially if one takes into account the wardrobe needs over the final weeks and plans accordingly.</p>
<p>Home offices should be packed with consideration to fulfilling of current commitments.  Those items that must be used daily should be left out, but other items, such as old files and lesser-used equipment can be packed.  </p>
<p>The kitchen should not be packed until as close to the actual move date as possible.  Bathroom items and other personal belongings may have to be packed on the very day of moving.</p>
