Did you know there are useful home move freebies you can claim to help cut the cost of moving?
From saving on moving supplies to cutting your bills once you’ve settled in, there’s plenty out there for savvy home movers.
Make sure you claim these free gifts and promotions the next time you move house!
Where to get free moving boxes
Home moving boxes can be a big expense, especially for something you only use once. Luckily, we’ve already published a complete guide on where to find free moving boxes.
Some of the easiest places to source this home move freebie are:
- Local neighbourhood ‘buy nothing’ groups and websites like Freecycle
- Bookstores, greengrocers and supermarkets that use large boxes for deliveries
- Offices and other businesses that get regular deliveries
- Friends and family who moved recently
When hunting down free boxes, look for ones that are dry, clean and undamaged. Be respectful when approaching people at their place of work.
Collect free packing supplies before you move
If your home is anything like mine, you regularly receive online orders and deliveries. As you get ready for your move, be sure to save any bubble wrap, packing pellets and corrugated cardboard keeping your purchases safe.
This leftover packaging can be used to protect your fragile items and saves you from having to buy new supplies.
You can also save on protective packaging by wrapping delicate items in blankets, cushions or clothes you already own.
Get everything covered with this downloadable home move freebie
Our free-to-download home move checklist makes it easy to keep track of everything you need to do before, during and after your move.
Being prepared not only cuts down on the stress of moving, but it also saves you money. Gathering your supplies ahead of time prevents you from paying inflated last-minute prices, and movers and other services are cheaper to book in advance.
Claim a free clean for your new home
This home move freebie will give you a breath of fresh air when you settle into your new place – 2 hours of free cleaning from Housekeep.
The offer doesn’t apply to end-of-tenancy cleaning (though Housekeep can also help you get a great deal on that). However, as you get settled into your new home you can save energy on getting the place ship-shape with free, professional attention from one of Housekeep’s vetted cleaners.
Book your free clean here – the offer applies to recurring cleans, but you’re free to cancel your plan at any time.
These home move freebies will cut your water bills
Do you know how much you’ll be spending on bills at your new home? Utility bills can increase a surprising amount in a new property, especially if it’s bigger than your old home.
Luckily, there’s an easy way to claim bill-cutting freebies when you move. Depending on your water supplier, you can claim tap aerators, toilet hippos and other water-saving devices online here.
Install these in your new home to cut your water usage and save on both your water and energy bills.
The ultimate home move freebie – free utility set-up
There’s another free service that saves users an average of 7 hours of admin, as well as up to £397 a year on bills – an all-in-one utility setup from Please Connect Me.
Our Connections Experts will handle all your essential utility registrations and find you great deals on broadband, mobile, insurance and more. Sign up for free today and make your move simpler.
