A little planning makes house shifting far easier. Use these ten practical tips for a safe, smooth move.
Before the move
- Start early – begin packing non-essentials a week ahead.
- Declutter – sell, donate or discard what you do not need.
- Label every carton room-wise for quick unpacking.
- Pack an essentials bag with documents, chargers and medicines.
- Use quality material – bubble wrap and sturdy cartons for fragile items.
On moving day
- Keep valuables and documents with you, not in the truck.
- Supervise loading of fragile and heavy items.
- Take photos of electronics before packing.
- Check parking and lift access at both homes.
- Do a final walkthrough before leaving.
