If you’re planning to move house any time soon, then you’ll want the move to go as smoothly as possible. Take a look at these top ten tips for moving house. 

1. Label All Of Your Boxes

Labeling your boxes will make it easier at the other end to work out which room to send the box to. To make it even easier, you could color-code your boxes. 

2. Take A Photo Of Your Wiring 

There is nothing worse than trying to work out how everything was plugged into things like your router or your TV. If there a lot of wires, take a photo of how they were plugged in and it will save you a lot of effort trying to figure it all out when you’re unpacking. 

3. Book A Removals Company 

Take the stress out of your move by hiring a removals company such as Allied Van Lines Canada. A professional removal company will get the job in far less time than you might do otherwise. 

4. Pack Your Clothes On Hangers

To save time and effort when unpacking your clothes, you could always pack them on their hangers. Simply use a garbage bag around the outside of the clothes so that they can all stay on the hangers. Don’t forget to label the bag so you know who the clothes belong to. 

5. Start Packing Early 

Packing will always take longer than you expect. Start packing your possessions early, ideally a few weeks before you are due to move. Do a little bit every day and the job will be much easier than you would have imagined. 

6. Declutter As You Go 

As you start to pack, find items that you no longer need and either sell them or donate them to somewhere like goodwill. The less you have to pack and move, the easier the job will be. 

7. Don’t Leave Empty Space In Your Boxes

Make life easier for yourself and make sure that all of your boxes are full. If there is an empty space in your boxes, fill it with packing foam, cloth, or paper to stop the items inside from rattling around. 

8. Pack A First Night Bag 

When you’ve had a long day moving into your house, the last thing that you’ll want to do is to have to hunt down all of the essential items that you’ll need on your first night. Create a bag or a box of items that you’ll need immediately. 

9. Use Quality Moving Boxes 

Don’t let your boxes fall apart on you. Make sure that you use high-quality moving boxes that are fit for purpose. 

10. Get More Boxes Than You’ll Need 

It can be hard to estimate how much stuff you actually have and how many boxes you’ll need. You wouldn’t want to run out of boxes midway through packing so it is always advisable to get more packing boxes than you think you’ll actually need.
