Shifting to a new home is always exciting — but it can also be stressful if not planned properly. Whether you’re moving within Kerala or to another state, a little preparation can make the entire process smooth and worry-free. At Lobo Transport, we’ve helped countless families relocate safely since 2015. Here are our Top 10 Tips for House Shifting to help you move with confidence.
1. Start Planning Early
Begin your preparations at least 2–3 weeks before the moving day. Create a checklist of tasks like packing, labeling, and booking transport. Early planning prevents last-minute rush and confusion.
2. Declutter Before You Pack
Go through your belongings and remove items you no longer need. Donate, sell, or recycle them. This will save time, reduce load, and lower your moving costs.
3. Use Quality Packing Materials
Always use strong boxes, bubble wrap, and packing tapes to protect your items. Professional packers like Lobo Transport use high-quality materials to ensure your belongings stay safe during transit.
4. Label Everything Clearly
Label every box by room and contents — for example, “Kitchen – Plates” or “Bedroom – Clothes.” It makes unpacking much easier at your new home.
5. Pack Important Items Separately
Keep essentials like documents, chargers, medicines, and keys in a separate bag that stays with you. These are items you’ll likely need immediately after moving.
6. Take Care of Fragile Items
Wrap glass, ceramics, and electronics carefully with bubble wrap or cloth. Mark those boxes as “FRAGILE” so they get extra attention during handling.
7. Inform Utility Providers
Before moving, disconnect or transfer your electricity, water, internet, and gas connections. This will ensure you have everything working at your new home without delay.
8. Choose a Trusted Moving Partner
Always hire a reliable shifting company. A professional team like Lobo Transport can handle everything — from packing and loading to unloading — ensuring your move is safe, timely, and stress-free.
9. Check Your New Home in Advance
Inspect your new home before moving day. Make sure electricity, plumbing, and cleaning are all done, so you can settle in comfortably once you arrive.
10. Keep Calm and Stay Organized
Moving can feel overwhelming, but staying calm helps everything go smoothly. Follow your checklist, trust your movers, and focus on the excitement of your new beginning.
