Preparation is key for any house move, but especially one that requires a long journey. When organising your removal plan, discuss the estimated arrival time with your chosen removal company. The process will be a lot smoother if you can arrive at your new home at the same time as them.
If you’re driving yourself, it’s advised you organise breaks to avoid accidents or exhaustion. The AA recommends that you take a 15-minute break every 2 hours. Make sure your essentials are in the car with you and that everyone is fed and hydrated during the journey.
It's also important to consider the reason for your house move as it can impact the specific date and time you need to begin your journey. For example, if you're moving for a new job, your start and finishing dates will dictate your moving day. If you're moving to university, you will need to consider your start date.
There are several unique struggles to consider when preparing for a long-distance house move with children or pets. It can be a very stressful process for everyone involved so it’s important that you’re organised.
When moving house or moving abroad with pets, it’s important to stay calm. Animals are very aware of your emotions - if you’re stressed, they will be too. Introduce them to the new house and try to arrange shorter car trips before the moving date. This will build their confidence before the long journey.
If you’re moving with children, prepare a moving day bag to ensure they’re entertained and comfortable during the long journey. Pack their favourite toys, snacks, music and clothes to help them settle. You could even work on a list of games to play to help make the journey feel quicker and more fun.
Our research discovered that summer is the most popular time to move house in the UK. This also makes sense when considering long-distance moves as the better weather and longer days create the perfect travelling conditions.
There is also the opportunity of taking advantage of the school holidays during the summer months. Moving during term time can be stressful for students so many families prefer a summer move to ensure their education isn't affected.
As a long-distance move requires a lot more preparation, it’s understandable why this extra time would be desirable.
A long-distance move needs a removal company that can plan around the journey, access at both properties, and any extra services you need.
Start by sharing your move details, including your property size, moving date, distance, access, and whether you need packing. We can connect you with trusted removal companies that handle long-distance moves, so you can review company profiles, services and customer reviews before choosing.
When you speak to your matches, ask how they plan longer journeys, what is included in the price, and what services are available. It is also worth checking when to book, especially if your moving date is fixed.
Storage can be useful if you need to move in stages. Some removal companies offer storage options, which can help you keep non-essential items safe while you manage the move in smaller steps.
