Moving and Relocation

Are you moving to Denmark?

When you are relocating to a new country or moving to a new part within Denmark, there are several things to consider. Moving far from where you are currently living, naturally involves more planning than if you were moving to a new home in your neighbourhood. This can be an overwhelming project, especially if you are juggling work and a family at the same time.

Here are our top tips for relocating in the most stress-free way as possible;

1. Find out where to you are moving. No matter whether this is from one part to another within your country, or even abroad, this tip for relocating is very helpful; get in touch with some people who already live where you are moving. You can find a lot of information in local groups on Facebook and if it's a big city, there will most likely be a group for expats and/or newcomers. People in these groups can be very helpful in your planning as they have gone through the same when they relocated to the area.
    
2. Research long-distance moving companies. Make sure they offer cross-country relocation services and that they have good reviews when it comes to this. A usual moving company could be great at local moves, but long distance requires more planning and expertise. Especially if the move requires transporting your goods by air or sea, it is extremely important the moving company has the right contacts and knows the restrictions, and best-practices there might be for that particular country.
    
3. Contact 2-3 moving companies and get them to give you an offer with everything included. Before you accept an offer, you should meet one of the removalists and have him give you a full relocation plan, so you know exactly how they are going to go about the move and what to expect.
    
4. The reason for hiring relocation companies is to take away some of the stress regarding the extensive planning but also due to the long-distance transportation; therefore they should be able to transport all your belongings at once.
