Property 101: Five ways to take the pain out of moving house

Home owners find the experience of moving homes highly stressing, partly because we are programmed that way.

Andrea Morgan from the London Property News says with meticulous preparation and some common sense, it can be an enjoyable adventure.

2. Use boxes, bubble wraps, sharpies and notepads before you start the packing process.
3. Make a list of everything.
4. Clean your new home before you move into it with your furniture. Clean the old home too so that you don’t feel ashamed in handing over its keys.
5. Start being a control freak. The more you are in control, the richer you will make the moving experience.
