The first two weeks are all about setting up your foundations. Once you’ve exchanged contracts or confirmed your tenancy end date, it’s time to make decisions.
Locking these things down now frees you up to focus on the nitty-gritty later.
Why move stuff you don’t actually want? Decluttering now saves you time, money, and hassle.
Think, new house, clean start! Moving is a great time to rid yourself of things you no longer want, use, or are damaged.
Decluttering now means fewer boxes later, and trust us, future you will be very grateful!
By the end of your first month, it’s time to finalise your removals.
Confirming your movers now gives you peace of mind and ensures you secure your preferred date.
This is where many movers trip up. Admin might be boring, but it’s the difference between moving into a fully functional home from the get-go, or one with no internet, heating, or running water.
It is undoubtedly a pain, but get this sorted now, and you’ll walk into a home that’s ready for living, not camping.
Packing is always underestimated. It will always take longer than you think, so get strategic and work better, not harder!
Packing smart now means unpacking later will be a breeze.
Better still, if time is slipping away with you, use GoodMove Removals, we do all the hard work for you.
