Buying a new home any time of the year can have its challenges, but it can be even more difficult during the winter. Icy roads, cold weather and added messes can make an already challenging process even trickier – especially if you have kids. But since we’re experts in Vancouver real estate AND Vancouver moving, we’ve got the 6 best tips to make your experience as smooth as possible.
With winter weather comes a lot of unpredictability, so having a few back up plans in place is important!
Consider creating a contingency plan that covers certain unexpected situations like if your moving truck can’t pick up your items on time. By having these plans in place, you can be more prepared for various scenarios.
When you’re in the midst of moving, you’ll likely be using your car a lot more than usual. Prepare your car for the colder seasons with winter tires, an ice scraper and extra blankets.
Snow and water can get into your home while movers and other people are in and out during the moving process. Keeping the floor clean and clear of any wetness will help to make sure the floors aren’t slippery.
You can also add temporary plastic covers to the floor during your move. Many moving companies offer floor coverings as part of their service, so be sure to ask about it when contacting movers for quotes.
