Solicitors, mortgage advisors and lenders and all of the paperwork and problems that arise because of it can drive you mad.

How do you unpack quickly after moving house?

 The entire moving process can be extremely long, between the initial offer being accepted right the way through to completion date. The solicitors seem to take forever, the mortgage lender can really drag their feet, and the surveys can identify problems, and if you are part of a larger chain, then there are a million things that can slow the process down. After many months of paperwork and stress, you have finally been issued a completion date and time of exchange of contracts, and you are relieved to be finally moving into your new home.  So the actual move itself needs to be planned as carefully as possible, to help organise everything and make the move go as smoothly as you can.

You might need to arrange for friends or family to help you with the move if you are hiring a van too, and you’ll need to prepare the packaging materials for

What Are The Key Advantages Of Using Bubble Wrap For Packaging?

Bubble wrap is an extremely popular type of packaging material, which is used for protection purposes while moving home, shipping and storage too. It is made from hundreds of tiny air bubbles which form the layer of protection that you require around your most delicate items, and they absorb shocks so that your items don’t feel a thing. What are the key advantages to using bubble wrap for packaging?  The first, and most obvious advantage is that it will protect from knocks and bumps, by absorbing the shock from knocks. The air bubbles pass the pressure among themselves, and so that your items inside will not feel a thing.
