Imagine your new home after moving in. Peace and quiet and tidiness. However, achieving that may not be quite easy. First of all, you need to get rid of any unnecessary things. If you want to decide what to move with you, ask yourself these four fundamental questions:
Go through the whole flat or house and note down the things that you would like to move into your new home.
Think about the things that you use most frequently. Do you use them every day? Such things usually include dishes and clothes. These items are essential and will definitely go to your new home with you.
Do you use them weekly? Serving dishes and some kitchen appliances, such as slow cookers, are used quite often. If you are going to continue using them, they should also be included in the moving process.
Do you use them once a year? These include items such as seasonal decorations or “grandmother’s” tea set. If you can’t remember when you last used them, get rid of them.
Was it given to you by a friend or relative? Does it bring back pleasant memories or does it have an added value? If your answer is “yes”, put it in a special box. Don’t forget to write a list of what it contains. Such a list will make finding things easier later.
If you didn’t have this item in your home, would you miss it? If so, pack it. If your answer is not a clear ”yes”, don’t take this item to your new home with you.
Any things that you don’t want any more can be offered to friends, given to charity or sold.
Where to start selecting before moving? Naturally, start with the furniture because large pieces may not fit in your new home or may not be suitable for it. When it comes to smaller pieces, we recommend beginning in the kitchen because decisions regarding kitchen utensils are usually easier as they are not emotional. For example, do you use all of your small portable appliances? If your answer is “yes, every day”, then it’s clear.
As soon as you decide about the kitchen, go to the living room and then to the bedroom. It is better to think twice about everything than to pack and move junk. Remember that your goal is relaxed and well-arranged living in your new home.
What items did you take with you to your new home? We will be happy if you let us know in the comment section below.

We have been cooperating with Philip & Frank brokers for a few years. Throughout that time it has been proved that it was a good choice. We are especially satisfied with their transparency and regular information about the progress of each project. At the same time we have always been in control of all decision-making. We will be happy to recommend them and their legal services to our friends and relatives. It was our pleasure warking with them.
While we were selling our flat, we approached the brokers of Philip & Frank who had been recommended to us. I was really satisfied and delighted. Their truly professional approach – meetings with us, organization of tours of the flat with clients and arranging the formal aspects of the sale, including cooperation with an excellent lawyer – was astonishing. I appreciate their competence and I recommend this real estate agency to other clients.
Thanks to the professionalism of Philip & Frank real estate brokers I learned that even purchasing a property can be a pleasant experience. Their thoroughness, reliability, helpfulness and kindness enabled us to concentrate only on the property. We were relieved of all the worries regarding the purchase and we could simply enjoy buying the flat. That is what you dream of but I would never have thought that it could come true. Thank you for your perfect services!
