New Country? Home Moving and Remodeling Tips

However, is it as easy as “Ah, let’s move to another city?” Certainly not. Moving to a new country is a roller coaster ride with no end in sight.

There’s so much to handle, from packing and loading to securely transporting everything to your new home. And then, the trickiest of all, decorating your new home to make it feel more like, well, home!

So, where do you start? Let us help you map out the process of moving to a new country and make your transition as smooth as possible.

Home Moving Tips

Declutter and Make a List

Are you moving for a new and fresh start? If so, you’d want to leave behind the unnecessary stuff and start with a clean slate. Go through your house and make sure that the items you’ll be taking with you are the ones that spark joy and those you will need in your new home.

You can donate or sell what you don’t need. Selling is a popular choice with most people moving homes because who wouldn’t like to make a buck or two?

Once you’ve sorted out what to keep, the next step is to enlist all the items you’re taking with you and take pictures. It’s going to be a long journey, and with so much on your mind, it’s easy to forget something. So, eliminate the stress by documenting everything.

Hire Professional Movers

There’s only one way to simplify your long-distance move hire the best Miami international movers, such as Solomon and Sons Relocation Services, for an easy transition. They can handle the heavy lifting for you, ensuring all your belongings arrive safely at your destination.

Besides the arm strength, they also have in-depth knowledge of customs documentation, local laws, and other regulations related to international moves.

Plus, if you need extra services like renting a storage unit to keep your valuables until you’ve arrived at your new home, they’ll take care of that too. However, before hiring anyone, get references, read reviews online, and research the company thoroughly.

Measure Your Furniture

Your beautiful camel brown sectional sofa might fit like a glove in your current house, but that doesn’t mean it will fit the same in your new home. The same goes for all your bespoke armchairs and nightstands.

So, take accurate measurements of your furniture and compare them with the floor plans of your new home before you move. This way, you can avoid the hassle of returning or reselling due to size issues. It also makes deciding what to take along to your new home easier.

You must also measure the width of your new home’s door and entranceways. It will help you decide if any of your large furniture needs to be disassembled or not.

Make a Plan for Your Children

The little ones can’t take the moving stress well. They have friends in this neighborhood they don’t want to part with. They don’t want to leave school and Miss Judy. Most important of all, what about their favorite candy store? It’s not going to be easy for them (and you).

So, make sure to prepare them by talking to them about it. Show them the bright side of moving, like meeting new people, trying out different cuisines, and exploring a new city.

During the packing and moving stage, try and shift them to a trusted family member or friend’s home for the day. It will help you focus.

Home Remodeling Tips

Keep Energy Efficiency in Mind

If one of the main goals behind your move was to live a more affordable life without compromising on its quality, we recommend you keep energy efficiency at the top of your list.

Investing in energy-efficient appliances, windows, and insulation will help you save money in the long run. It’s also good for the environment. It’ll reduce your carbon footprint and keep the air around your home fresher.

So, invest in insulation if you’re moving to a colder area. You have a few options, including:

  1. Aerogel – expensive but worth it
  2. Fiberglass – cheap but hard to handle
  3. Mineral wool – effective but not fire resistant
  4. Cellulose – fire resistant and effective but hard to apply

Also, if your home is in an area with high humidity levels, consider installing a dehumidifier to keep your home comfortable.

Work with Trusted Contractors

Doing everything yourself is not always the best option. And since you’re moving from another country, you won’t be familiar with the local contractors, suppliers, and stores. So, it’s better to work with professionals who can help you find the best deals for materials and labor.

Remember, research is key when it comes to selecting a contractor. Read reviews online, and research the company thoroughly.

Hiring trusted contractors is your chance to have a ready-to-move home without any hassle.

Keep the Resale Value of Your Home in Mind

If you sold a property to buy a new one, you understand the importance of resale value. The housing market can be unpredictable, so always play safe.

You never know when you’d feel like moving again. So, before you remodel, consider how it will affect the resale value of your home. Some tried-and-true tips to increase the resale value of your home include:

  • Install a modern kitchen and bathrooms
  • Paint your walls with neutral colors
  • Upgrade your flooring
  • Invest in energy-efficient appliances
  • Add extra storage spaces
  • Create a great outdoor living space
  • Landscape your garden
  • Add a pool or hot tub (if you have enough space)

Final Thoughts

Moving to a new country can be overwhelming. But with the right preparation and tips, you will be able to move smoothly and quickly.

So, start with a plan and stick to it. You must have a list of all the professionals you should work with to make your transition more manageable.

From taking measurements to hiring contractors and upgrading your home, there are plenty of factors to consider. Just take it one step at a time, and you will be able to enjoy your new home in no time. Good luck!
