What I Wish I’d Known Before Moving House in Melbourne

I’ve moved house a few times, and it’s usually the small things that catch me out. Boxes labelled clearly, a bag with clothes and toiletries for the first night, and keeping important paperwork somewhere safe can save a lot of scrambling. I also learned not to leave everything until the final weekend. When planning a move between states, I’d check exactly what a good interstate removalist includes before comparing quotes. Measuring furniture and doorways beforehand is another step that’s easy to overlook. A simple list of jobs, done a little at a time, makes packing feel much more manageable and leaves fewer surprises on moving day.
