Phil Spencer, the presenter of the television show “Location, Location, Location”, writing in the Telegraph, has given his top tips to make moving less stressful. He recognises that moving home will always be stressful and emotional, but there are ways to reduce stress.
Spencer recommends booking a removal company early, as good moving companies book up fast and are particularly busy on Fridays. You have the option of the moving company packing for you or doing it yourself. If the removal company packs, this will cost extra but is less stressful. However, pack personal belongings such as underwear yourself.
If you decide to pack yourself, have a clear plan of action. Pack the most used rooms last, and whether you or the removal service are packing, make sure that every box is clearly labelled with where goes in the new home. Check that large furniture can fit through the doors. If not, they may need to be taken apart.
Before you move, Spencer recommends measuring your new home. Plan where the furniture is going and make sure that it will fit. If you find yourself stuck with furniture that is too big for the space, this will add to stress levels.
Phil’s final tip is to make sure that parking is available outside the new home for the removal van.
