Here’s our Top Ten Helpful Hacks to Making Moving Home Simpler... 🏡
1️⃣ When selling a property, do not go for a cheap and cheerful agent, you get what you pay for and they end up costing you more in the long run. Can you contact them personally at anytime?
2️⃣ This is timeless advice ……. DECLUTTER, DECLUTTER, DECLUTTER! A few questions you can ask yourself below when decluttering...
👉🏼 Do I love it?
👉🏼 Is it useful?
👉🏼 Why do I have it?
👉🏼 How often do I wear or use this?
👉🏼 Does it have value?
👉🏼 Will it fit in my new home?
👉🏼 Does it fit my new lifestyle?
👉🏼 Would I buy it again today?
👉🏼 Is this item irreplaceable?
👉🏼 Is it in good condition?
👉🏼 Do I have more than one of these items?
👉🏼 Does it bring value to my new lifestyle?
3️⃣ Use decent quality moving boxes of a uniform size depending on what will be in them, i.e., books, clothes etc. A mishmash of odd shape boxes makes moving mishaps much more likely.
4️⃣ Set aside one hour a day for a week to pack things up. You’ll be amazed at how much you’ll get done by the end of it.
5️⃣ Use large bin bags to cover hanging clothes in bunches of 5-10 hangers.
6️⃣ Create several charity boxes, and throughout a couple of weeks, fill them with items that will still benefit someone else. Then take them to the charity shop of your choice.
7️⃣
8️⃣ Box clever by labelling boxes with the rooms the contents belong in. And write on each of the boxes’ sides rather than on top of them. Then, when they are stacked up, you’ll still be able to see the contents and where they should go.
9️⃣ When packing things up, save money and time by using towels, dishcloths, and blankets to protect breakables.
🔟 And finally, create a VIB – Very Important Bag – a couple of weeks before your moving date. This can be added to nearer the time and be used to put important documents like passports, any keys you need, spectacles, medicines, and anything else you feel is essential.
Keep this with you on moving day.
