Clearly label all boxes with contents and destination rooms. Use color-coded systems for different rooms and mark fragile items prominently to ensure careful handling during transit.
Use proper packing materials, wrap fragile items individually, and pack heavy items in small boxes. Don't overload boxes and always pack books flat to prevent spine damage.
Pack a first-day essentials box with toiletries, change of clothes, important documents, phone chargers, and basic kitchen items. Keep this box with you during the move.
Update your address with banks, utilities, DVLA, electoral register, doctors, dentists, and subscription services. Arrange mail forwarding with Royal Mail for peace of mind.
Photograph furniture assembly, electronic connections, and room layouts before dismantling. These reference images make reassembly in your new home much easier.
