Preparations for the Pre-Home Shift Survey
Here are some helpful pointers to help you prepare your property for a pre-home shift survey:Plan Ahead
At least two to three weeks before the day of your planned relocation, get in touch with the moving company of your choice. This gives them enough time to arrange the survey and make sure your move goes smoothly.
Know the Goal of the Survey
Make a list of everything you're relocating, including important or delicate things that need extra attention.
- Estimate the volume: Make sure the correct size truck is sent by precisely calculating how much room your belongings will take up in the moving truck.
- Analyze logistical requirements: Consider loading zones, parking, and any possible access issues at your new and existing residences.
- Plan your packing and materials: Find out how many people and what packing materials you'll need for your relocation.
- Take care of issues: Talk about your relocation requirements, concerns, and any special requests you might have.
Get Your House Ready
- Organize and declutter: by deciding what you can donate, keep, take, or leave behind. This helps you pack more effectively and makes the survey easier.
- The key is accessibility: Make sure every room, hallway, and storage space is well-lit and accessible.
- Prioritize safety: Secure any pets and remove any obstructions that could make it difficult for the surveyor to move.
