2. PACK AHEAD

If there are any items you are able to live without for the time being, pack it away. Out-of-season clothing, extra kitchen items, backup bathroom supplies, book collections, and extra linens are examples of these items. Anything you can do ahead of time will save you the time and stress during the week of the move.

3. KEEP THINGS TOGETHER

During the packing process, ensure you keep corresponding items together. Electronics with their cables, loose items attached to their counterparts, lamps with lightbulbs, and books with their bookends are examples of these. Ensuring this happens, will save you time and frustration while you are unpacking!

4. USE YOUR LUGGAGE

Utilize your suitcases. Clothing, linens, towels, and paper products are perfect things to fill them with. You will be able to identify, and get to, these items much more readily, if they are in easily recognizable luggage.

5. STOCK UP ON SUPPLIES

As soon as the deal is firm, start collecting! Boxes, masking tape, bubble wrap and wardrobe boxes will all be needed, and making sure you have enough ahead of time is crucial. Once you are in the packing mindset, running out of supplies will be frustrating to say the least.

6. DON'T PACK YOUR IMPORTANT PAPERWORK

During the move, and likely right afterwards, you will need access to important documents. Tax assessments, mortgage information, strata documents, rental agreements and banking information are all things you will need to refer to. Additionally , your ID, passports, closing documents and personal information are things you will want keep with you.

7. DON’T HESITATE TO HIRE HELP

If you are feeling overwhelmed or completely stressed out, outsource. There are companies who will not only move your items, but will pack, unpack, declutter, and store them as well. Once you have moved out there are cleaners who will do a move-out clean on your old place and then subsequently and move-in clean on your new home.
