Moving Home Just Got Less Stressful

April is Stress Awareness Month, and if you’ve got a move coming up, you’ll need to keep your wits about you to get it all done. Just the thought of moving home can make you break out into a cold sweat. It’s a life experience that many people think of as one of the most stressful things you can do. So how can you minimise those feelings of panic?

Start packing early

Getting ahead of packing is always a good idea. Start with decluttering your space. Reducing the amount of stuff you take with you is the first step, and you could always make a few extra pounds by selling items you no longer need. Pack the items you rarely use first. Clearly label boxes with what items have been packed away and where they belong. Work room by room to try and keep some order.

Find an agent you trust

A good agent is invaluable and will help with a realistic valuation, marketing your property and proactively organising viewings. Unfortunately, you might not find a property through the same agent, but it’s always worth talking to them about what they have available, so you can keep things more streamlined.

Appoint a solicitor and broker early

Getting a good solicitor and a mortgage broker on board before you actually need their services reduces the panic of having to find one at short notice. Instead of looking for a mortgage yourself, use the services of a professional. They’ll have access to deals that you might miss or that aren’t widely advertised.

Make it easier for kids

If you’ve got little ones, change can be quite overwhelming for them. Make them part of the move let them have their own special moving box with all their favourite things in it. Show them their new bedroom, ask them how they’d like it decorated or where they want to put their toys.
