Organising a move: Tips for a stress-free process

by Flo

When you are moving house, there is a lot to organise. An optimal work schedule ensures a smooth process with the removal company. Neatly labelled moving boxes make it easier to unpack at the new place of residence. These tips will make your move less stressful!

Organise your move: How many moving boxes do I need?

A moving company can help you determine exactly how many boxes you will need. Depending on the arrangement, they can also help you pack them.

  • Depending on the size of the household, about 25 moving boxes per person may be necessary, or even more.
  • For better moving planning, a professional moving company will come to your home in advance to accurately determine the moving needs. This allows for a better calculation of both the size of the moving truck and the number of moving boxes.
  • When moving, it can be extremely useful for both families and relocating businesses to add packing as an additional service with the moving company.
  • Please plan for a few more boxes so that they are easier to carry. Both when you move yourself and when you move with a removal company, transporting your belongings to your new home will be much quicker and, above all, easier. A sack truck can also be used as an aid.

Living more beautifully: What really needs to come along when you move?

Keep in mind that every moving box and piece of furniture not only requires your labour, but also makes the move much more expensive. So it’s best to sort out thoroughly in advance. What can you do without at the new location? Pack only the essentials.

  • Cabinets, beds, tables and other bulky furniture can be dismantled and then take up less space in the removal van.
  • Consider which pieces of furniture are still worth moving. Some furniture will have to be re-planned in the new flat anyway – for example a kitchen.
  • When packing, label all moving boxes with the appropriate room. The movers will then be able to sort them better and unpacking will be quicker and easier for you.
  • Organise your move in good time! There are various deadlines for providing no-parking zones at both locations and many administrative procedures that come your way. Inadequate time management causes unnecessary and easily avoidable stress every time you move!
