When a situation comes around to relocate your home or business, the sheer thought of how stressful it can be can be quite daunting, particularly in Lagos. Nevertheless, options you might consider are either to take on the challenge yourself or hire a service provider to do it for you. In some cases, the former may be more attractive and economical; but have you considered all factors involving a successful move?
To help you make the best decision, here are a few scenarios you should run through:
Do I have enough time?
At times, it can be very hard to find time to be fully dedicated to managing an event as stressful as a move. Especially when competing and conflicting obligations/responsibilities are concerned, your time may be a limited resource and it may be a good idea to consider a professional mover.
Am I able to effectively coordinate my move?
Some are simply not excellent managers of time or people and the idea of coordinating resources during a taxing situation such as a home or office move can take its toll. The last thing one would want is a move that is not effectively managed especially when ones personal property is at stake.
Am I able to handle moving with children?
Moving is a hassle and it can be even more of a hassle when going through it with young children. Homes and offices being moved can be very dangerous particularly for babies and toddlers and it may be wise to have someone else do the moving for you while you tend to your young ones if babysitters are out of the question.
Am I particular about my privacy?
Having friends and family help with a move can be a great asset especially if you trust them and can buy their help with a free lunch. But some, though fond of family, can become disconcerted when personal effects are exposed. Some would prefer working with professionals on a strictly business where they are bound by contract to project your privacy as well as your personal effects.
Can I be hands-on with my move?
Some simply hate relocating and the hassle associate with it. They hate the idea of sorting through items, packing, living heavy items, supervising movers and taking stock of items being relocated. If this simply isn’t your thing, you may want to consider alternatives.
