Moving house is often thought to be one of the most stressful events many of us will face yet estate agents Your Move, believe that with a bit of forward thinking and the support of a good estate agent, the process need not be so daunting.

"Being well organised is the key factor and can make all the difference when moving home" said a Your Move spokesperson.

As well as the support of an agent like Your Move who will offer advice and guidance even when your sale or purchase has been agreed.

According to Your Move, "The first thing you need to decide is the most suitable day to move – you'll need to discuss this with all parties concerned and decide if you need to use a removal firm, ideally one registered with the British Association of Removers. Get two or three quotes from different firms so you can compare prices and the services they offer and book them as soon as possible. It's worth considering that some removal firms charge more on Fridays and at the end of the month.

“If you are thinking about moving yourself it is a good idea to start getting a few boxes together and start packing items you know you won't want before the moving day. Label any boxes clearly so you know what's in them and where they need to be placed in the new property.” Your Move can help with this process by offering on-line ordering service for boxes through their moving services section on their website, www.your-move.co.uk.

Don't forget to label furniture nearer the big day.

As the removal day approaches you'll need to decide what belongings you want to take with you, if there's anything you don't want to take perhaps now is a good time to donate items to a local charity or even have a car boot sale.
