01 — Start with low-use rooms
Begin with stored and low-use belongings, then move toward daily-use rooms so the property remains practical while packing progresses.
02 — Use clear carton labels
Write the destination room and a short contents description on each carton. Mark fragile cartons clearly without relying on colour alone.
03 — Separate fragile items
Use suitable protection for fragile items and discuss blankets, shrink wrap, bubble wrap, mattress wraps or furniture wraps where needed.
04 — Keep essentials with you
Keep keys, medication, valuables, documents, device chargers and first-night supplies in a separate bag that stays with you.
