And when it comes to moving a\nhouse all on your own, you are bound to make many mistakes. The process of\nmoving from one house to another can really be overwhelming and stressful. When\nyou are stressed, you tend to make more mistakes. While some of the moving\nmistakes can be as silly as not labeling the boxes, some other mistakes like\nnot packing the glassware properly could turn out to be the costliest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>I moved my house recently, and I did it all by myself and made many mistakes along the way. Although mine was a local household move within the same neighborhood, I ended up making many mistakes that I could have avoided. There\u2019ll be so many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.servicesutra.com\/blog\/moving-a-house-in-india-top-10-things-to-do\/\">things to do while moving a house<\/a>, and therefore it\u2019s common to make some mistakes. However, some of the mistakes can be irreversible and turn out to be costlier and expensive. So, if you are planning to move a house by yourself and you are wondering about which costly moving mistakes people make while moving a house, then I have got you covered. Today in this post, I am sharing five of the most frequently made moving mistakes that can easily be avoided for safe, secured and hassle free <a href=\"https:\/\/www.servicesutra.com\/blog\/interstate-house-relocation-save-money\/\">house relocation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Mistake 1: Removal service is expensive and not worth it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I have been working in the moving and relocation industry for over a decade now. And one common house moving mistake I have seen people make is they assume that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.servicesutra.com\/blog\/mistakes-to-avoid-when-hiring-movers-packers\/\">hiring removal service<\/a> will be a costly affair. They presume that professional house removal service is too expensive and they can easily save tons of money managing the move on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the truth is that, do-it-yourself house move is not easy and it might not be the cheapest option to move a house. It may not be the best and the cheapest house moving solutions, especially in case of a long distance or interstate relocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"474\" height=\"316\" src=\"https:\/\/www.servicesutra.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/mov-ejust-a-few-of-smaller-household-items.jpg\" alt=\"move just a few of smaller household items\" class=\"wp-image-6504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.servicesutra.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/mov-ejust-a-few-of-smaller-household-items.jpg 474w, https:\/\/www.servicesutra.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/mov-ejust-a-few-of-smaller-household-items-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A\ndo-it-yourself house move is easier<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>When you are moving within the same\nsociety complex or within the neighborhood you are living in<\/li><li>When you want to move just a few of\nsmaller household items like clothes and kitchen utensils etc<\/li><li>You don\u2019t have labor extensive and\nheavy weight furniture and appliances<\/li><li>You have had some prior do it\nyourself moving experience<\/li><li>You can turn out to your friends\nand family for help in packing and moving<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>But, that\u2019s not the case when you are moving to a different state. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.servicesutra.com\/blog\/interstate-home-relocation-checklist-that-wont-fail\/\">Interstate home relocation<\/a> is way more complicated and involves multiple steps, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Arranging packing supplies to pack\nall the household goods including fragile items<\/li><li>Packing all the household items\nsecurely<\/li><li>Renting out man and van for\nloading, transporting and unloading<\/li><li>Buying transit insurance to insure\nyour goods in transit<\/li><li>Tracking the shipment<\/li><li>Unloading, unpacking and\nre-arranging of goods<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And\nit\u2019s not easy to manage all these tasks. And there\u2019s no guarantee that while\ndoing so, you will not end up paying more besides risking the safety of your\nprecious household goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So\nthink carefully, and then take a call on doing it on your own. When you are\ndouble sure that there is a huge difference in moving cost in hiring removal\nservice Vs doing it yourself, then only you should consider doing it on your\nown. Otherwise, hiring&nbsp;<strong>professional moving service<\/strong>&nbsp;is always\nbetter than struggling with the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Mistake 2: You can pack everything in one day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although\nyou know that proper packing is integral to safe and secured house moving,\npeople often underestimate this task. This can turn out to be a huge setback\nand one of the costliest moving mistakes. When you are on your own, you can\u2019t\nafford to think of packing as the last minute task. And don\u2019t get me wrong, but\nit takes a lot of effort and time to pack everything securely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>You have to sort out all the\nhousehold goods and make the list of inventory<\/li><li>There will be many items that you\nmay not wish to relocate and these items have to be sold, donated or discarded.<\/li><li>You have to arrange different types\nof essential packing supplies in right quantity<\/li><li>Packing the entire house in one go\nmay be difficult. And therefore, you have to make a pacing schedule that you\ncan follow and something that\u2019ll work for you.<\/li><li>You have dust, clean and then pack\nthese household goods securely.<\/li><li>You have to label each of the box\ncorrectly otherwise, you may have difficulties in searching and unpacking<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If by any chance, you run out of the packing supplies like the moving boxes, bubble wraps or any other packing material, then you will have to manage that as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So,\neven if you are up for the challenge of moving your house on your own, you must\navoid this common moving mistake of assuming that you can pack everything at\nthe last moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Mistake 3: Not using right packing supplies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Packing all household goods securely is very important to ensure nothing gets damaged while moving a house. And to pack all household good securely, you need the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.servicesutra.com\/blog\/household-packing-materials-needed-to-pack-and-move-safely\/\">best packing supplies<\/a> like<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Durable moving boxes<\/li><li>Bubble wraps and foam<\/li><li>Good quality packing tapes<\/li><li>Crates and other packing supplies<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Not\nchoosing the right kind and size of moving boxes can cost you badly during a\nself house move. When you hire a professional moving service, they take care of\nthese hassles. They bring good quality packing supplies after inspecting your\ngoods to ensure that everything gets packed safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However,\nwhen you are on your own, you may try and arrange packing supplies from a\nnearby grocery store or a shop. And by chance, if you are unable to find the\nright size packing supplies, you will try to manage with what you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But,\nthat could turn out to be the biggest and the costliest self move mistake. If\nyou have too many small boxes, you will end up spending more time in loading\nand unloading. Handling too many boxes may increase the labour charges. Also,\nif you don\u2019t have all the necessary packing supplies like foam and bubble\nwraps, then the safety of goods may get compromised. And therefore, you must\navoid this self house moving mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s\nwhat you should look for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"474\" height=\"316\" src=\"https:\/\/www.servicesutra.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/packing-materials.jpg\" alt=\"Packing items\" class=\"wp-image-6507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.servicesutra.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/packing-materials.jpg 474w, https:\/\/www.servicesutra.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/packing-materials-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Arrange good quality, clean, dry\nand strong moving boxes in different sizes to ensure you can pack everything\nsafely.<\/li><li>It is not hard to use cardboard\nboxes from the neighborhood store, as long as the boxes are in good and usable\nshape.<\/li><li>Make sure to arrange good quality\npacking tapes, and wrap the boxes horizontally at the bottom and the top to\nmake it extra secured.<\/li><li>You need bubble wraps and foams to\nwrap the fragile items and you can\u2019t do without it.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While\nmoving on your own, do remember that any compromise in packing may turn out to\nbe the costliest mistake. And fortunately, this can easily be avoided by using\nthe right kinds of packing materials and techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Mistake 4: Choosing wrong size truck to transport goods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once\nyou have packed everything perfectly, the next important step is to hire a\ntruck to transport your goods. Hiring the right size of vehicle for\ntransporting household goods is crucial for a hassle-free do it yourself house\nmove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In\ncase of a Do it yourself house move, most often you end up misjudging the kind\nof truck you would need. Maybe due to lack of experience or misjudgment, there\nis a high chance of committing this mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If\nyou end up hiring a mini truck, then you may have to do multiple trips and that\nmay cost extra money. On the other hand, if you end up hiring a bigger size\ntruck than what was needed, then again you will end up paying more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So,\nit is very important to assess the size of your house and accordingly hire the\nright size and kind of truck for moving goods. Here are the most commonly\navailable trucks and vehicles that can be hired as per the move size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Smaller vehicles\u2013 like a TATA Ace\nor TATA Magic are best suited for relocating a small house. When you are moving\njust a few household and kitchen items, then these kinds of smaller vehicles\nwill best fit your moving requirements.<\/li><li>Pickup \u2013 Mahindra pickup is a\nlittle bigger than smaller trucks and best suited for a 1 BHK household move.\nIf you are living in a one BHK with a family, then these kinds of vehicles will\nwork well.<\/li><li>10-12 ft truck \u2013 best suited for a\nfurnished 2 BHK household goods move. But, you should still check the volume of\ngoods you are moving and then hire the truck.<\/li><li>12-14 ft truck \u2013 best suited for a\n3 BHK house move and ideal for long distance moving. These types of vehicles\nare best suited for most of the mid size house and office move.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing\nthe right size truck is important, especially in case of self move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Mistake 5: Underestimating the importance of transit insurance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\nmay not match the quality of packing and handling of a professional moving\nservice. The risk of damage is usually more when you are packing and moving on\nyour own. And not insuring goods while relocating on your own may turn out to\nbe a major moving mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Irrespective of how carefully you pack and handle moving boxes, there\u2019s always a chance of some human error due to haste or something. Naturally, things can quickly go wrong and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.servicesutra.com\/blog\/importance-transit-insurance-moving-house-india\/\">moving insurance<\/a> helps you against such incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, when you hire a moving service, they insure the shipment and provide coverage for any kind of damage during the move. So in a way, your house move is protected against any mishap and accidental damages. However, when you are moving on your own, you may forget to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Shipping_insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"insure (opens in a new tab)\">insure<\/a> your shipment, which could be very risky and a major house moving mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Final thoughts on DIY house moving mistakes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nprocess of moving a house is already complicated. And when you are on your own,\nyou have to be even more careful while planning, preparing, packing and\nhandling the entire move. You can\u2019t take chances or else you will end up making\nthe mistakes that could turn out to be very expensive. We have already discussed\nabout the major self moving mistakes people make like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Assuming that hiring removal service will be too expensive and so, it\u2019s not worth it<\/li><li>Assuming that you\u2019ll be able to pack everything in one day<\/li><li>Not arranging enough packing supplies in right size and quantities<\/li><li>Choosing wrong size truck for transporting your household goods<\/li><li>Underestimating the importance of transit insurance<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If\nyou are up for the challenge, and determined to move on your own then try not\nto make any of these do it yourself house moving mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\nother mistakes do you think one should avoid while moving a house on their own?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As they say, one should learn from the mistakes of others, because this life is too short to make all [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6503,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"categories":[124],"tags":[134,706,359,700,70,701],"yoast_head":"\n<title>Major Moving Mistakes to Avoid When You Are Moving by Yourself<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Making mistakes can turn out to be too expensive during a house move.
