Relocation can be whether you are just moving from your old apartment to a new one or from one country to another. While relocating, there are vital things to know.
Why are you moving?
You must have a clear vision of your trajectory during the relocation; this is the same as knowing why you are moving. Is it for your studies, a new job, to look for greener pastures, to be closer to someone, or even for security purposes? Knowing the reason helps to decide when and where to move into.
When are you moving?
Some movements might be as a result of an emergency situation that occurred, sometimes it might be preplanned, no matter what the case may be, do not take little findings about the available locations for granted. For instance, in places like Lagos where accommodation can be highly sorted and floods mostly disturb some suburbs whenever there is a heavy downpour, sorting for accommodation is advisable during the rainy season, for the safety of life and property.
Where are you moving to?
You need to know the locality and environment you are moving to, for example, if you are moving to another country you want to know what the weather is like, who are your neighborhoods likely to be, what are the new opportunities, what are the future rewards and some other details. You need to engage in thorough research of the environment to know what goes on and how to go about things. All these are to give you a pleasant stay in your new abode.
Start planning early, Stay organized.
Start planning as far in advance as possible. Once you have made the decision, start planning out how you will do it. Checklists are a great way of keeping you on top of what you need to do. List everything out and tick them off as you go. As well as gaining a sense of satisfaction from ticking things off, it will help to keep the stress levels in check.
Estimate your new standard of living
In your new abode before you move ensure you know how much it will take to maintain yourself as relating to the new environment. Are things more expensive or more affordable, where can you reduce costs? Ensure clarity in your estimate.

Opportunities and backlashes
This can be done before or after you have relocated but it is advisable to do it before. You should note the opportunities that will be accessible to you in your new location, probably a new job, more savings or investment because of the standard of living, closure to the family and other things, and certainly the backlashes like who you are leaving behind expenses, change in culture (food, dressing, lifestyle in general). All of these should be well noted so you have a good estimate of what is going on.
