Lots of people
say moving home is one of the top ten most stressful events in your life. Fortunately, there is a way to mitigate your stress.
In a nutshell, start as early as you can, plan ahead and do everything you can
to make it easy on yourself, your family and even the family pet. As an agent
in Huddersfield, my team and myself have been helping homeowners, landlords,
buyers and tenants move, sell and let their Huddersfield homes for many years.
So I thought I would share some top tips for making your move as stress free as
possible – then find out which streets in Huddersfield have moved the most in
the last 3 years.
The first tip is to plan ahead and write a list;
because whilst it is taking between 15 and 20 weeks at the moment from finding
a buyer to moving, those few weeks will fly by in no time as day to day life
carries on. Next, get yourself a decent home removal company as they are worth
their weight in gold on moving day – and if you need to know a good one in Huddersfield
- drop me a line and I will let you know who my clients are raving about.
Next, a cluttered Huddersfield home doesn’t sell or
let well, so maybe consider decluttering before you market the property. It
will sell/let better and when it comes to the move – the job will be so much
easier. Know where you plan to put all your important documents (like Passports
and Bank PIN etc). Tell your utility providers and it is a good idea to create
electronic copies of significant documents by scanning and saving them onto a
USB stick and don’t forget to get your mail redirected.
On the day of moving home stress levels will be high
and I know you will want to get everything packed away and have the tea on by
5.30pm! Those who have moved many times know that isn’t the case. Be realistic,
as it’s doubtful you are going to unpack all your boxes in your new home by the
end of the first day.
Make sure to keep your ‘Moving Day Survival Equipment’
close by, change of clothes, wash equipment, cold bottles of water, biscuits,
kettle, tea/coffee/milk, crisps (even G&T??) to keep your spirits, morale
and energy up – you will be fine.. but it will take a few days to completely
unpack and get your new Huddersfield home the way you would like it to be. As
long as you have your bed set up and made by the end of moving day - you can
have the rest of the weekend to get ship shape.
So, which street or road in Huddersfield (HD3 to be more precise) has put themselves through one
of the most stressful moments in their life over the last 3 years? Which street
has seen the most home moves and experienced the trials of moving home.
New Hey Road comes in at the top spot, with 89 home
movers in the last 36 months with a total property value of £16,070,000 sold, interestingly there are
744 properties on the road … so have a look at the top 20 and see if your
street is in the Top 20!
… but before you go, if you do need any help or
guidance about moving home or advice about the current state of the Huddersfield
