Packing is usually the most time-consuming part of any move. Starting early and following a simple system makes a huge difference.
1. Start with rooms you use least
Spare rooms, garages and storage cupboards can be packed weeks ahead without disrupting daily life.
2. Label every box on two sides
Write the destination room and a short list of contents so boxes land in the right place first time.
3. Keep heavy items in small boxes
Books and tools belong in small cartons. Large boxes are best for light, bulky items like bedding.
4. Pack an essentials box
Chargers, toiletries, medication, snacks, a kettle and a change of clothes should travel with you.
5. Photograph electronics before unplugging
A quick photo of the cables behind your TV makes reconnecting simple.
