Scope out your new home and start forming a vision for what you want it to look like once you’ve moved in. Take measurements and decide where key pieces of furniture will go.
Request a few days off from work if you think it’s appropriate.
Decide which moving company you’re going to work with. Don’t just go with the cheapest option! Cheap movers can cause you nightmares! Look at online reviews and how long the company has been in business.

The cleanout
If you’ve started reading this, then I assume you’re like most of us… Accumulate, accumulate and accumulate. TIP!! De-clutter weeks in advance, so you’ve got less to pack and move.
3 simple questions to ask as you’re working through the house.
Keep it
Throw it
Repurpose it
Once you do this, you can then understand what’s next.
Keep it = if you don’t think you’ll need it pre-move, pack it away straight away.
Throw it = Consider how to dispose. Regular weekly drops in the general waste and recycling otherwise get to moving week and feel like 34 bins aren’t enough. Consider the size of “throw it” pile to organise a hard rubbish collection.
Repurpose it = Repurpose is a powerful thing that takes the most effort and planning.
There are a number of different ways to pass forward these good quality items to another home.
