Moving house tips

There are many aspects to be considered when moving, particularly if you have a tight time frame

• Don’t panic, take it step by step
• Have a plan
• Expect a few hiccups

Set aside sufficient time for the move 

• Prepare in advance
• Plan, plan, plan

Clearly label all boxes

• Indicate which room they are for in your new home
• Have a plan of your new home in your entry hall – the removalists can they identify where boxes are to go
• A storage/moving manifest can be a wise investment of time

Ensure items you will need quickly at your new home are easy to find

• Kettle, coffee, tea, bedding, toiletries

This is a great opportunity to sort what you no longer need or use

• Don’t take unnecessary items to clutter your new home. (Think of the time you will waste packing & unpacking items you may no longer need!)

Try selling appropriate items

• Auction houses, dealers, eBay or Gumtree
• Embrace donating to charities

At the end of the day, reward yourself

• Have your favourite take-away menu, some chocolate or a favourite bottle on hand to enjoy in your new home!
