Let’s face it, even if you are getting someone to do your entire move for you and no matter how good or experienced they are, it remains one of the most stressful things to do in your life.

All you really want to do is contact the best professional movers in Sydney and let them manage your move, while you relax with a long refreshing drink and hope the move will soon be over. Thankfully with the following 10 tips you will hopefully be doing just that a lot sooner than you might imagine.

1. Start decluttering early

The earlier you start this process the better.  Ruthlessness is the key to success.  The more you can get rid of the easier the move will ultimately be.  A way to make it easier is to pride yourself on the good all the donations will bring to needy people.

2. Start packing early

Usually the removalists Blue Mountains can take care of that, but should you wish to do it yourself the earlier you start the better.  It is recommended to start several weeks in advance of the actual moving day.  Also make sure you have a good supply of packaging tape, bubble wrap, and boxes.

3. Get the destination house cleaned as soon as possible

Get a team of cleaners to give the new home a good going over from top to bottom.  There is nothing better than moving into a sparkling clean new abode.

4. Mark the contents of the boxes

Mark the contents of each box to make it easy to find required items quickly.  An inventory list is a great help here.  Compile it in a way that makes sense to you without making it ridiculously complicated.

5. Mark which item/box goes where

Label each item of furniture and box with the exact location it is destined for.

6. Start early on a moving day

An early start will mean that the move will be over as soon as possible, a very desirable outcome.

7. Get the pets sorted

Pets find moving very stressful perhaps even more so than humans.  Get them out of harm’s way either to a pet lodge or a friend’s house if possible.

8. Pack lunches for the family

Prepacked Picnic lunches for the family will take care of the nutritional needs for the day without biting into too much moving time.

9. Pack a first-night box

This is probably the best tip you can do on a move.  Pack all the things you will need on your first night like bedding, the kettle, toiletries, tea, coffee, and so on.

10. Artificial turf

Something probably not considered a normal aspect of a move but worth a second look.  Imagine a home with immaculate green lawns, perfect for enjoying those picnic lunches.

With the above tips, your move should be as painless as possible, including engaging professional movers in Sydney to manage your move for you.
