When you are moving and changing to another house, you can be very stressed unless you plan it very well. It is of the utmost importance to arrange the wrapping and the packaging following an excellent organization. Otherwise, it is easy to feel depressed: hundreds of boxes, hours and hours of work, a neverending story… In the blog of Estate One, we are going to give you five pieces of advice in order to survive and to carry it out in an orderly fashion.

1. HIRE PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT

Our first advice is to hire a moving company to take your furniture and belongings to your new house. It is very disheartening and upsetting if one of your objects gets broken or becomes useless. It is important to take into account whether you yourself have the capacity and ability to do this on your own. You must also consider if your effort is worthwhile as well as the money you will have to spend on this task which will mainly consist of packaging items and a van rental.

2. MAKE A PLAN

You should arrange the move with a reasonable time frame. Nobody likes to work under pressure and in a hurry. It is very stressing to feel that the closing date of leaving your home is near, and that you still have not finished packing everything. It is a good idea to calculate roughly the number of days you will need to have everything ready. We believe that a month or even three weeks will give you time to spare and to feel relaxed about it.

3. GET RID OF USELESS THINGS

Our third advice, is to leave behind what you are not really going to need. Take advantage of this situation in order to give them away. We accumulate too many things throughout the years.

4. YOU HAVE TO BE WELL ORGANISED

Once you have got rid of what you do not need, think about what you really want. You can make a list and thus, you will control more easily what you want to take with you.

5. ABOVE ALL, TIDINESS AND ORDER

When you move, it is essential to be tidy and well-organised if you want to make a success of this situation. When you put your belongings into boxes, you must write down what they contain. Furthermore, you can arrange separate groups of boxes depending on the area of the house. For instance, the bathroom, the kitchen etc. This will help you find everything much more quickly in your new house. Fragile objects should be indicated by means of a felt-tip pen so that they will be treated with care.
