|
Whether you’re buying an ambassadorial, landscaped home, a country farmhouse or a contemporary apartment on the beach, buying Hout Bay property is an investment with spectacular returns.
The vibrant fishing harbour, the majestic sea and mountain views, and the local craft market are just a few of Hout Bay’s attractions.
Buying a home is as exciting as it is daunting. With a long to-do list that includes finding movers, notifying correspondents of your change of address, and packing and unpacking your personal belongings, enjoying your new home may seem like a distant dream. Not when you’re armed with the right advice, however.
When to pack
- Don’t make the mistake of leaving all the packing for the last week. Take a few hours out of every day starting two months before your move. At the same time, begin collecting boxes for the items you’ll be packing later.
- Start by packing little-used items and store them in a place that doesn’t clutter your living space. Begin packing the rest of your belongings one month before the move.
- Don’t forget to get quotes from movers. Deciding which movers you’ll be using is one of the most important tasks and should be handled early on in the moving process. If you’re uncertain which movers to choose, contact any of the Hout Bay estate agents for professional advice. Or ask others buying Hout Bay property for moving tips.
How to pack
- Pack similar items together. For example, don’t mix clothing with your toiletries. Not only may it lead to disaster if an item should spill, but it only contributes to the chaos when it’s time to unpack.
- As a space-saver, use linen, such as towels, washcloths, and pillowcases, as packing material.
How to make unpacking easier
- While it’s common to pack and unpack the contents of drawers, save space and time by sealing the drawers with strips of masking tape and move the drawers as they are. When your furniture arrives at your new home, you simply remove the tape.
- Take the time to draw a floor plan of your new home and sketch where you’d like the movers to place your furniture.
- When buying Hout Bay property, these moving tips should make the journey from your old lifestyle to your new, sought-after Hout Bay lifestyle a pleasant part of the transition
