Moving Tips With Exeter Short-Term Rentals For Last-Minute Manoeuvres

When it comes to last-minute moving, having a solid plan can make all the difference. Though your move may be quick and overwhelming, it’s never too late to get organised. Here are our tips for Exeter temporary moving and storage solutions with Your Store Exeter.

Step 1: Planning your move

Create a moving checklist with goals and deadlines to stay organised and accountable. Make a packing list of essential items you don’t want to forget. Planning, preparation, and lists – lots of lists – will make the process easier for you.

Step 2: Get rid of things you no longer want or need

Before you start packing, set aside an area of your home for items you no longer want or need. Channel your inner Marie Kondo and get ruthless to speed up your downsizing. The fewer things you keep, the fewer things you have to pack – and pay to move!

Donate, throw away, sell, or give away anything you’re not keeping. Read our 6 tips for decluttering your home with storage Exeter for more information.

Step 3: Arrange packing boxes

Undergoing a last-minute move can be stressful, but being organised and having the right packing materials can help take away some of the stress You’ll need a range of small, medium, large, and heavy-weight boxes to accommodate all your belongings. Other essential tools such as tape, bubble wrap, old newspapers, markers, and labels can help to ensure your items are packed securely and efficiently.

Here are some top tips to keep in mind while packing under time constraints:

  • One room at a time: pack one room at a time, starting with the least used items like guest rooms or seasonal decorations
  • Use household items: wrap fragile items with towels, blankets, and clothing to save space and reduce box usage
  • Fill empty spaces: prevent items from shifting by filling gaps with packing peanuts, bubble wrap, or crumpled newspapers
  • Pack heavy items first: place heavier items at the bottom of boxes and lighter ones on top to maintain balance
  • Detailed labelling: label each box with its contents and designated room. Mark fragile items for careful handling
  • Inventory list: maintain an inventory list to track all packed boxes and ensure nothing gets lost
