There are many things you need to worry about when planning a move. Here are five common mistakes we often see that you must remember to save your wallet and your sanity.
1. Do not forget to contact service providers : This can cause you to hook and pay for services that you did not use.If you move to a new home within the same area or city, you can even schedule your services to be connected before moving so they are ready when you enter. If you wait until you've already moved, it may take a few days to a week or more in some cases to allow technicians to connect cable and internet.
2. Failed to complete an address change: If you do not submit an address change with Canada Post 14 days before your move, your mail may end up in the care of strangers. This may cause your personal and credit information to be compromised.
3. Does not have insurance coverage : You can contact your homeowner or rental insurance company to make sure you have insurance coverage during your move.This gives you comfort and security knowing that your personal property will be damaged or lost during the move will be covered for compensation.
4. Does not fill in proper relocation procedures: Persons who rent their current home are generally required to complete a final inspection checklist with their landlord. It is in your best interest to do this because this provides a final account that can not be questioned about the conditions of the premises when moving out.
5. Forget to complete an inspection ; It is necessary to report any issues with your property that are moved by a moving company within a certain time if you wish to submit an application.An inspection of these items should be done before signing something that the moving company may require after the transition is completed. This will prevent you from collecting compensation for damaged or lost items that may occur during your move.
