Preparing for Cross Country Move to London

Moving requires a lot of preparation and takes a lot of time. You should do a lot of cleaning and de-cluttering. Furthermore, why would you want to pay for and move items that you will not need once in London? Make sure you give this phase of preparation as much time as you can prior to making the journey.

Here are important steps to take;

  • Thorough cleaning. You should clean and put away as many of your items and as much as you can. This will give you the opportunity to take stock of what you already have, what you need and what you do not need when the time to move comes. Sort them well and label accordingly.
  • Get rid of items that you do not need. You may have items that you will definitely not need in London. For example, some clothes may be unfashionable or too old to carry to London. You may have your last academic term papers with you; it is time to dispose them now. Here you can donate or sell the items you do not need. The extra cash can go to your moving exercise.
  • Take stock of what you think is important and dispose even more from the list. You may have inherited a washing machine or a drawer from your great-grandparents. These ones may be too old and too bulky to move them to London. Furthermore, the flats there usually come fully furnished. Donate these ones too.

When moving cross country to London, the fewer the items you will carry, the cheaper the exercise will be. Remember that some items can be purchased cheaply across London than the cost and headache it will take to move them there. Additionally, some of your belongings may be on the last stages of their life and would make more sense replacing them with news ones once you have settled in London.
