Mastering Your Move with Confidence

Moving house—it’s one of life’s big milestones, right? The idea of settling into a new place is exciting, but let’s not sugar-coat it: moving can also be stressful. Whether it’s your first move or your tenth, the process of packing, organising, and adjusting to a new space often feels overwhelming. But don’t worry—that’s where we come in. At Let’s Get Moved, we’ve seen it all and learned plenty along the way. Here’s a guide to help you master your move with confidence, turning what could be chaos into a smooth, efficient process.

Packing Like a Pro

Packing is often where the stress starts. You look around at your belongings and wonder, “How do I pack all of this without losing my mind?” The key is to start early and stay organised.

1. Start with the non-essentials.
Seasonal clothes, books, decorations, and that waffle maker you swore you’d use every weekend—pack them first. By tackling the items you don’t use daily, you’ll make steady progress without disrupting your routine.

2. Get your boxes in order.
Invest in sturdy boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, and labels. Trust us, you don’t want your favourite mug shattering because you cut corners on materials.

3. Label everything.
Label your boxes by room and contents: “Kitchen – Plates & Cups” or “Bedroom – Winter Clothes.” You’ll thank yourself later when you’re not rummaging through boxes looking for your kettle at midnight.

4. Pack a first-night box.
Moving day can be exhausting, so have a box with essentials like toiletries, pyjamas, a phone charger, and snacks. That way, you can relax in your new home without hunting for the basics.

Moving Day Drama? Not on Our Watch!

Every move comes with its own set of challenges, but having a reliable team makes all the difference. At Let’s Get Moved, we’ve faced everything from unexpected snowstorms to awkwardly-shaped furniture that barely fits through the door.

Here’s how to prepare for a hassle-free moving day:

1. Create a moving checklist.
Write down everything you need to do, from confirming the moving date to notifying your utilities. Tick items off as you go—it’s satisfying and keeps you on track.

2. Dress comfortably.
Wear clothes you don’t mind getting a bit dirty and sturdy shoes with good grip. You’ll be lifting, bending, and walking a lot, so comfort is key.

3. Communicate with your movers.
Let us know about any fragile items, awkward furniture, or specific instructions. The more we know, the better we can serve you.

4. Stay hydrated and fuelled.
Moving is hard work. Keep water bottles and snacks on hand for yourself and your movers. And if you’re feeling generous, a cup of tea or coffee for the team always goes down a treat!

Settling into Your New Home

Once the last box is unloaded, it’s time to make your new house feel like home. But where do you start?

1. Prioritise the essentials.
Set up your bed first—you’ll appreciate it when you’re ready to collapse after a long day. Then focus on the kitchen and bathroom, the two most important spaces for functionality.

2. Take your time.
Unpacking can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t all have to be done in one day. Tackle it room by room, starting with the spaces you use most.

3. Get to know your neighbourhood.
Take a walk around your new area, introduce yourself to neighbours, and find the local shops, parks, and cafes. Feeling connected to your new community can make the transition easier.

4. Celebrate the milestone.
Moving is hard work, so take a moment to celebrate! Whether it’s ordering your favourite takeaway or popping open a bottle of bubbly, mark the start of this new chapter.
