Tips On Moving Yourself in Sydney

Moving a Four Bedroom Home in Sydney Can Be Daunting Unless Well Planned

Packing a four bedroom home in Sydney can be a daunting task unless the relocation is well planned. There is much to do, including planning and organising, boxes that seem to take up a room in themselves, and so much to contend with that it can be overwhelming. AAA City Removalist offers the following tips to help you relocate with the least amount of stress.

When moving a 4 bedroom home yourself, there are many more things to consider than boxes, tape and bubble wrap. You need to start at least five weeks prior to your move and begin to plan. Your first priority should be your moving truck.

When renting your truck, like hiring a removalist, you will need to research and reserve your truck in advance. Truck and van rentals are available with and without removalists. Relocating a 4 bedrooom home will require a large truck to fit your furniture and belongings. AAA City Removalists offers 3 men & large truck for $74 per half hour. This cuts the time of your relocation in about 1/3, as well as eliminates the strain of the move. If you are to hire strictly a truck for your move, you can save money, but you also have to consider the cost of fuel, and the time that it will take you to load your home.

You’ll also have to purchase your packing supplies. For a four bedroom home, packing kits range from about $200 to over $300. Packing kits typically only include boxes, packing paper and tape. Your will need to purchase furniture pads and bubble wrap, making an additional cost. Ways to save money on your moving boxes include asking your local vendors like your grocer and liquor store.

With a four bedroom home, you don’t want to take on the entire house at once; and, Begin sorting your items room by room, getting rid of what you will not be taking, and packing your least used items first. Once you’ve gone through your items, wait a week or so and go through your keep items again.

Hiring a Moving Company

If you hire a moving company, you can expect about $150 per hour with three to four movers. Typically, a 4 bedroom home, on average, takes between 6 to 12 hours to relocate. The benefit of a moving company includes:

- If your home is a two storey home, you don’t have to move items up and down the stairs. You also don’t have to be concerned with items in your basement or attic that need to be moved. Your removalists Sydney will handle the items.
- No back injuries. Hauling furniture even from the home to the moving van can be a tremendous strain. With movers, you don’t have to be concerned that you will strain yourself.
- Your relocation company will disconnect and reconnect your appliances, as well as assembling or disassembling furniture.
- Removalists are pros at moving specialty items.
- If you require short or long term storage, most relocation companies have storage available.
- Big homes mean lots to pack. When you hire a relocation company, you have the option to have the company pack for you.
- Most relocation companies in Sydney supply packing supplies to their customers so that you won’t have the expense of boxes, wrap, furniture pads, tape, etc.

When interviewing moving companies, ask the movers specific questions that are quite detailed. You should ask for in-house estimates that are based on your items and the cost of the relocation.
