    Moving home can be a hectic and stressful time, so it’s important that you are completely prepared and have the best plan in place beforehand!

    1. Make A Calendar 

    Being as prepared as possible will make the transition a lot easier. Make sure you have all the equipment you need such as usable boxes and some extra cash at hand for surprise expenses.

    2. Measure The Space

    There’s nothing worse than moving all your stuff to a new place where they won’t fit!

    3. Clean Up First

    Make sure your new place is clean before you start to move your things in.

    4. Order Utilities And Furniture In Advance

    You don’t want to get into your new place and find you’re having to wait a fortnight for your bed to turn up.

    5. Change The Locks

    For extra security.

    6. Pack The Essentials Box.

    This box will contain all the things you’ll need on the first night, so you don’t have to root around in boxes looking for a bowl.

    7. Decide How You’re Actually Going To Move Your Stuff.

    You can move your stuff by yourself by asking family and friends to help you, or if you’re on your own a dolly cart. You could also hire a rental tuck with a driver that simply moves all your stuff from point A to point B, or you can acquire full service movers. It’s all about what’s most affordable really.
