DO:

Plan: Give yourself plenty of time to plan your move, especially if moving a long distance. This will help you to avoid feeling rushed and stressed. Create a moving checklist: This will help you to stay organised and on track during your move. Purge and declutter: Get rid of anything you don’t need or use anymore. This will save you time and money on packing and moving costs. Label everything: Label all your boxes and furniture with their contents and the room in which they belong. This will make unpacking much easier. Take photos of your valuables: This will help you to document their condition in case anything is damaged during the move. Hire professional movers: This can save you time and effort and help ensure that your belongings are moved safely and efficiently.

DON’T:

Wait until the last minute to start packing: This will only add to your stress and make the moving process more difficult. Pack heavy items in large boxes: This can make the boxes difficult to lift and carry. Pack heavy items in smaller boxes and lighter items in larger boxes. Leave valuables in drawers: Valuables can easily get lost or damaged during a move. Pack them separately and keep them with you. Try to move everything yourself: This can be dangerous and can lead to injuries. If you have heavy or bulky items, hire professional movers to help you. Forget to pack essentials: Pack a box of essentials you will need right away when you arrive at your new home, such as toiletries, medications, and a change of clothes.
