Moving house is cited as one of life’s most stressful events alongside starting a new job, having a baby, losing a loved one and going through a relationship break-up. However, unlike some of the other events, there are measures you can take to significantly limit the anxiety involved in moving house.
START EARLY
When it comes to packing up your possessions, start as early as you can. While we often plan time off for the moving day and the unpacking stage, if you take time before the move to create an organised structure to your packing process it will reduce the stress of the actual move and in the weeks that follow. Give yourself plenty of time to declutter, by doing so at this stage you’ll have less stuff to move which in turn should save you on transport/removal time and cost. Decluttering will also help to get the house ready for the all-important photos for your estate agent and subsequent viewings. Staging your home in this way may even lead to securing a higher price for your home. According to Mouseprice, professionally staged homes can sell for prices up to 15 per cent more than the competition.
