Moving tips

1. Start planning early

Give yourself enough time to plan and organize your move. Start at least two months before your move date.

2. Create a checklist

Make a list of all the tasks you need to complete, such as booking a moving company, packing, and notifying utility companies.

3. Declutter before you move

Get rid of items you no longer need or use to make packing and unpacking easier and save money on moving expenses.

4. Label your boxes

Label your boxes with the contents and the room they belong in so unpacking will be easier.

5. Pack an essentials box

You can put items such as toiletries, a change of clothes, and important documents. 

6. Notify utility companies

Notify utility companies about your move, such as gas, electricity, and water.

7. Pack fragile items carefully

Wrap fragile items in bubble wrap or newspaper and label the boxes as fragile.

8. Hire a reputable moving company

Research moving companies and choose one with a good reputation. Get a written estimate and make sure they have insurance.

9. Take photos of your new home

Take photos of your new home before you move in. This will help you remember where everything goes and what the space looks like.

10. Relax and enjoy your new home

Try to enjoy your new home and the new opportunities it brings.
