MOVING VLOG – Nashvile edition!

With prices for flats averaging 1,602 GBP per calendar month and house 3,695 GBP per calendar month, Ealing is attractive to any budget, being half the average price of central London and offering a wide range of properties, housing is predominantly of the Victorian townhouse variety and is usually sub-divided into flats. If it’s a flat share you require, they will more than likely be with young professionals and office workers, often of an Australian, New Zealand, South African and second generation Irish background. “Ealing is entering into an exciting period of change”, explains the Ealing Council.

With rising property prices, a tight job market and the after effects of February’s earthquake, it is obvious why a lot of people are choosing to make the move out of Christchurch to other parts of the country. With a growing number of opportunities and a lower cost of living outside of the main centres already becoming a huge factor for families, packing up and leaving the Garden City makes a lot of sense.

Moving elderly people presents some unique challenges. Adequate planning can make the experience easier for everyone.

Begin to sort your belongings into four separate categories: items to sell, items to toss, items to donate and items to keep. Have a yard sale to sell the items in your “to sell” category. Establish a moving file where you will keep all of your estimates and receipts.

While buying moving boxes may not be the most cost effective solution, they will provide the best protection for your possessions. You have the choice of either buying brand new boxes, or slightly used ones. The latter certainly will be at least a little bit cheaper, but the price difference is very small at the end of the day.

There are a lot of moving companies, and picking the wrong one can hurt you. If this is your first long distance move, a good moving company should anticipate your questions. If the company is not working with you, find one that will. Moving is a long, detailed process, and you need all the help you can get. There are three phases to moving: packing your old home, moving the people and belongings, and moving into your new home. It is an excellent idea to have a notebook that has every piece of information you have.

From my experience, one of the best ways to move is with extra help! I’ve tried hauling almost everything by myself, and it’s nothing but a headache. Sure you save money, but is it worth the added stress? I think not. However, I realise sometimes life doesn’t give us a choice in the matter- but there are ways around limitation. Here are some suggestions for saving time, money, and effort in order to make a smart move.

The benefits of modular living are seen by those who want less debt and more savings. Living in the Okanagan is grande, and there is plenty of beautiful living space in the valley.
