But what happens if your devices are damaged during the move?
That’s why it’s important to pack your electronics properly to avoid damage.
Protecting your TV or Xbox starts with careful packaging.
Double-box your devices to reduce the risk of breakage during transport.
This means placing the original box inside another padded box with packing paper.

4) Book in your moving services early
Booking your moving services is one of the main keys to securing an easy and stress-free move. So don’t wait around, the longer you leave it the higher the prices may become, or even worse you may not be able to find movers with availability. Meaning you will have to move all your belongings by yourself, and nobody wants to do that.
5) Create a checklist
When moving into a new property you need to be prepared and make sure you don’t miss anything out or leave anything behind. Creating a checklist will help to guide you through the moving process. Therefore, it is important you create a moving checklist to ensure you do not forget anything. Your checklist should include things such as, hiring a team of movers to help you move your belongings, notify your employer, your bank, the DVLA, your local council etc of your change in address, arrange your utility services for your new home, such as council tax and water, broadband, and energy. Home Telecom can provide all your utilities for your new home in just one phone call, meaning you don’t have to worry about contacting multiple different providers to arrange your utilities.
6) Use moving home as an opportunity to clear out
We know it can be hard to let go of things you’ve had for a while, but by donating things to charity it not only makes you feel good within yourself, but it also helps you when packing your belongings as you won’t have all that clutter to pack. At Home Telecom charity is very important to us and we do a lot of work with charities to raise awareness and get donations. We are currently working with Oscars wish which is a charity that provide comfort and support to parents and siblings following the loss of a baby or babies before during or shortly after birth. We are currently raising money and awareness for this charity and donations are appreciated. Just go to https://www.oscarswishfoundation.co.uk/.
7) Check out the local food options and night life
There is nothing worse than finally sitting down after a long day of moving, scrolling on just eat or Deliveroo and realising your nearest Chinese take away is an hour away and not available for delivery! Then after this, you decide that you’ve earnt a bit of you time, so you go to check what there is to do in your local area, whether it is a night out on the town in clubs and bars, or just a quiet night out to the cinema, it is important to know what your options are so you can make an informed decision on if you want to move to the area.
8) Add your own touch onto your new home, as fast as possible.
Moving into a new house can feel cold and empty, which is why it is so important to make your house a home. You want to feel comfortable and warm in your home to enjoy your first night in your new property. You can do this by hanging up family pictures on your walls from your previous property, add plants to give your home some vibrancy, etc.
And there you have it, our very own check list, of everything that we believe is truly important to make sure you do before moving in to your new home, to ensure that you make the process as smooth, stress free and as effortless as possible.
