Preparing for any imminent move can be a confusing, logistical nightmare if we allow things to get on top of us. The best advice is to think carefully and plan every step before taking action. Prioritise each room and its contents and try to utilise some of the following moving tips and tricks: Prepare as many packing materials and useful items as possible ahead of time. Start with the rooms that are used less frequently. Group objects logically and fill each box as snugly as possible. Make a list of everything in each box and tape it to the lid. Number the boxes by writing on them directly. Draw attention to any particularly fragile boxes. Make another ‘master’ list that shows each numbered box’s location and where it needs to be placed at the new property. A simple outline-style map will suffice to represent each location. Leave frequently used equipment and items until last. Think about kettles and tea-making materials, bathroom supplies, and so on.
