If you have decided to take advantage of the Governments Stamp Duty holiday, you are certainly not alone! The housing market has experienced a bit of a boom since the announcement by the Chancellor on 8th July, so many people are buying new homes.

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or getting your first foot on the housing ladder, here are a few things to do in the run up to your move…

Inform service providers that you are moving – Broadband, gas, electric all of the facilities that you have in your current home need to receive confirmation from you that you are moving to a new address. This is a good time to also see if you can get a better deal on any of these services and shopping around.

Book a Removal Van – Using a removal van and the services of a company such as this removal company Norfolk based https://www.arrowpak.co.uk/uk-removals/removal-company-norfolk/ can really take a lot of the stress out of moving. As there will be a lot of people moving at the moment, it is important that you boo this as soon as you know your moving date.

Start Packing – Packing is a bit of a chore, but it is better if you start early, as this means that you have time to pack everything in an organised and orderly manner, rather than in a last minute rush which can lead to lost and broken items!

Have a Clear out – Moving is the perfect opportunity to have a good clear out – After all you don’t want to be moving stuff that you don’t need or use with you. Hire a skip for rubbish, and if you are clearing out things that other people can use, take them to a charity shop.
