Practical Tips for a Stress-Free Move
-
Advance planning
Set the moving date in good time and decide what you really want to take with you. It’s a good opportunity to get rid of what you no longer need and optimise space.
-
Effective packing
Use strong, easy-to-handle boxes. Reinforce the base and the top with crossed packing tape to prevent them from opening.
-
Box organisation
Place heavier items at the bottom and lighter ones on top. Fill any empty spaces so that the contents do not move during transport.
-
Formal agreement
Always sign a contract before starting the move and request a detailed written quote.
Avoid services that seem suspiciously cheap.
-
Boxes for heavy items
Books and crockery should be packed in small boxes to make handling easier. Valuable items are best carried personally.
-
Clear labelling
Label each box with its contents and the destination room to make organisation and unpacking easier.
