Practical Moving Tips for a Smooth Move

A successful move starts with solid planning. Below you will find some tips to make your move as smooth as possible:

1. Start packing early: Begin packing items you don’t use daily several weeks before the moving date. This prevents last-minute stress. You could rent a small opslagruimte for the already packed items to keep things organised at home.

2. Label your moving boxes: Clearly write on each box what its contents are and which room it should go to in your new home. This makes unpacking more efficient. 10 etiketten cost €0.40.

3. Create an inventory list: Keep track of which items you have packed. This helps maintain an overview and prevents things from getting lost.

4. Use high-quality packing materials: Protect your belongings with sturdy moving boxes and bubble wrap to prevent damage. See our hier.

5. Arrange transport in good time: Book a verhuiswagen, , verhuisbus or aanhanger in good time to avoid disappointment.

6. Moving assistance: Arrange a mover or ask friends and family for help: check in good time with friends and family to see if they are available on the moving date and ask them to keep this date free.
