- Begin planning as far in advance as possible. Most people underestimate the time they will need to plan their move, which causes them to be rushed, stressed or even panicked. To make moving house as simple as it can be, plan early and avoid doing anything at the last minute. If you do this, you are sure to be more satisfied with your moving experience in the end.

- Be well informed. Research various moving companies and other moving services online and in your local phone book. Find out about prices, sales, and possible package deals that are offered in various places. Look for the best rates, but also consider other factors such as excellent customer service and reliability. Once you have a good idea of what you can expect to pay, you will be able to recognize a good deal and avoid being cheated.

- Stock up on moving supplies, especially moving boxes and other packing materials. You definitely do not want to pay top dollar for these items, so shop around. Begin saving boxes from purchases and be sure to ask your family and friends to do the same. Moving house can be terribly expensive, so you do not want to increase your financial strain by spending too much on moving supplies.

- Do not expect to do all the work yourself. Of course, it is always possible to hire professionals to help you when moving house, but that is not always necessary. Enlist the help of your good friends and your able bodied family members. You are sure to find people to help you for free, but make sure you repay them in some way for their services. Plan a “thank you” party, order pizzas, or give small gifts. Whatever you do, make sure you express your gratitude to everyone who helps you with the difficult task of moving house!
