5 essential tips for an easy and organised move

by Halim Boumadani

Moving all your belongings from one place to another can be a complicated, stressful and nerve-wracking process. If you are going to move but don't know where to start, here are 7 simple tips to make it all go more smoothly.

The excitement of a new home can often be overshadowed by the laziness and hassle of moving house. If you don't organise well and don't have everything under control, a move of this kind can turn into a real chaos. How do I fit a whole house (and, sometimes, a whole life) into boxes? Where do I start? And above all, do I ask for help or do I do it on my own?

If you don't know how to carry out a removal or you need help organising it, easyStorage offers you 7 tips to make the journey to your new home a "piece of cake".

1. Planning and inventory

Make an inventory of everything you are going to take with you during the move and then prepare a detailed plan with everything you need to carry out the move and the cost: boxes, packing, van hire, storage room or furniture repository.

2. Take stock

After knowing the approximate cost of what you are going to spend on your own, ask for a quote from different removal companies in your city (you can do it through our platform) and compare. You should also consider the option of hiring a storage service. This is sure to make your move smoother.

3. Choose the right packaging

One of the most important aspects is the choice of packaging and boxes for a removal. There is much more to life than cardboard boxes.

For example, did you know that there are special boxes for storing clothes? The garments are hung directly inside the wardrobe-box and arrive ready to store and without a crease.

Other essentials are bubble wrap or paper and insulating tape. But above all, don't forget to label each box with stickers and permanent marker so you know what's inside.

4. Don't take everything: clean up

I'm sure that many things you have at home won't be needed in your future home. Get rid of everything you no longer like or don't want, and you'll save money while you're at it!

5. Keep soft items in bags.

Filling large, sturdy bags with soft items such as blankets, duvets, pillows, cushions... can be very useful to save space in the moving van or truck and, at the same time, serve to protect other delicate objects and furniture. Seal them tightly with tape.

And to top it off, to make it even cheaper and easier for bigger moves like home moves, they created popular packages of boxes.
