A Guide to Packing – Let’s lighten the load

1. Reduce Clutter and Unwanted Items

Take a close look at your belongings. Identify items that you no longer need or use. This initial step serves a dual purpose: it helps you declutter your home and reduces the number of items you need to pack and move. Consider donating, selling, or recycling these items to lighten your load.

2. Minimize Stress – Start small

Easier said than done we know! But one of the most effective strategies for simplifying your house move is to break it down into parts. Begin with smaller items that you’re not using regularly or you can do without until after you have settled in your new home.

Tackling smaller items first can help alleviate some of that stress. Starting with less daunting tasks and working your way up to larger ones allows you to maintain a sense of organisation and control throughout the move.

3. Create More Space

As you gradually clear out smaller items, you’ll notice more space opening up in your home. This newfound space not only makes the packing process more manageable but also allows for easier movement when dealing with larger furniture and appliances later in the process.

Moving House Checklist

we’ve put together a checklist to help you stay organised and on track when moving house:

• Declutter: Begin by identifying items you no longer need and consider donating or selling them. Check out our decluttering guide for helpful tips – Decluttering
• Pack Gradually: Start packing early, beginning with smaller items, and progress to larger ones as the moving date approaches.
• Label Clearly: Label your boxes clearly with their contents to streamline unpacking.
• Update Addresses: Notify essential parties of your address change well in advance.
• Seek Help if Needed: If you have heavy or bulky items, consider hiring professional movers for assistance.
• Unpack Thoughtfully: When you arrive at your new home, get your bulky items in place then prioritise unpacking room by room with items you use regularly.

We hope these tips have been helpful as you plan your move.
