KEYS TO MAKE A GOOD MOVE.

Whether you are moving because you have bought or rented a property, the moments before moving always generate stress, since you have to pack a lot of things, and have everything organized… There are many things to take into account, for that reason, from Villa One we are going to give you several tips so that it is done in the best possible way.

Point to consider when making a move

1. Before you start packing, clean up things you don’t need, since moving is not cheap. In this way, the space of the truck or car can be optimized to the maximum. Start by making boxes of the things you are really going to need in your new house.

2. Save space by putting important things in the drawers, this way you won’t need so many boxes, suitcases can also be used.

3. The duvets, covers and sheets should be put in garbage bags, which will help you fill the empty spaces in the moving truck and help protect the rest of the furniture.

4. Reserve the big boxes for the lighter objects and the smaller ones for the heavier ones. Whenever possible, use boxes with handles to transport it or make small holes in it yourself.

5. As you pack, you can name the boxes. In this way, you can avoid losing boxes along the way, by taking an inventory.

6. Leave things you may need out of the boxes in 2-3 days.
