There’s a lot more to moving house than we might realise. While it’s exciting to be starting life in a new home, moving involves packing, cleaning, follow-up work and even repairs. That’s why it’s important you’re well-prepared ahead of time. Here are some simple things you can do to make your move easier and as stress-free as possible.
Packing your essential items in transparent boxes will give you easy access once you arrive at your new home. Utensils, cutlery, devices and chargers can all benefit from being packed in clear boxes, as you’ll be able to quickly locate them and prevent them from getting lost among your other items and packaging.
Save money on bubble wrap and other packaging products by using clothing, sheets or towels to shield your fragile items from breakages. Pillows are a useful way of filling gaps in boxes to prevent items from moving around while in transit.
Labelling might seem like a chore, but it will help make packing and unpacking much easier. Having a numbering or colour-coding system will ensure your movers take your boxes to the correct room. It’s also important you identify fragile items to make sure they’re handled safely.
Decluttering your home before you start packing will ensure you have less to pack, less to move, and more money to spend on other things. Consider selling unused or unwanted items online, passing them on to family or friends, or donating them to people in need.
