Preparing To Move Into A Townhouse

Posted on

When you hire professional movers to relocate to a townhouse, you will want to ensure that you properly prepare. The movers will do most of the work, but it helps to have everything handled on your end to ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible. Otherwise, you may run into unexpected problems on your moving day. 

Here are a few things you should consider when you hire a moving company to help you move into a townhouse.

Do You Know the Entryway Measurements?

Professional movers are skilled at finding the best angles to move large items through stairways, doorways, and other tight spaces. However, they will know what won't fit if the spaces are too small. If possible, find out the measurements for the tight spaces at your new townhouse so you can let the movers make essential decisions. 

What Will Go on Each Floor?

Townhomes usually have two or three floors, so you should consider what rooms you have on each floor and how you will use each one. That way, you can make a plan for organizing items based on where you want the movers to put them. 

Is It Bigger or Smaller than Your Current Place?

Is the townhouse you're moving into bigger or smaller than your current home? If you live in a big house, you might be sizing down, but if you currently live in a small apartment, you may have much more space in the townhome. If you're upsizing, you may have to buy additional furniture and other items to fill the larger area, and if you're downsizing, you may need to get rid of some things. 

How Will You Dispose of Items You're Not Bringing?

Once you figure out what will fit in the townhouse and what items you don't want to bring, you will have to figure out what to do with them. You can try giving some things to your friends and family, selling them, or throwing them away. The earlier you do this, the easier it will be for the movers to do their job—some moving companies may even offer to dispose of your unwanted items. 

Will You Need to Buy Additional Things to Fill the Space?

If your new townhome is bigger than your current place, you might want to buy some new things to fill the larger space. Since you will be hiring movers, you should get all these things before the moving day, so you don't have to bring them to your new place yourself.
