Someone once told me that one of the top five most stressful things that you will ever do in life is moving house, whether it is for good or for bad reasons. As a self-storage store manager I have seen the good, the bad, and the downright ugly when it comes to moving. Of all my years of experience, the biggest piece of advice I could give anyone who is embarking on this journey is to BE ORGANISED!
Whether you are doing the move yourself or arranging professional help, it is fundamentally important to take the time to plan and pack wisely. In turn this will save you the stress headaches and potentially a lot of your hard earned cash. If you arrange to pack your goods properly using all the correct packing materials and organise your transportation early, you will avoid the three biggest ‘FAILS’ in moving; broken/damaged goods, exorbitant transport costs and last but not least, a mammoth task of sorting and cleaning afterwards.
Moving house should be a positive experience, as change is the only constant in life. So remember BE SMART! BE ORGANISED!
