It can be smart to sell off things you don’t need before a big move. Doing this will save you time packing and unpacking. Streamlining your move by only taking your most treasured belongings can also seriously cut down your moving costs, which means extra money that could go towards anything, such as new furniture or to pay single item furniture movers in NZ if you’ve got a large and important piece to transport.
Of course, it can be tough to let go of things that you’ve had for years. But it makes sense when you look at the practical benefits.
Declutter
Selling the items you no longer need will let you reduce your belongings during your move, which can be especially helpful if you’re relocating to a smaller space. It will reduce clutter and eliminate the need to rent storage for the things you won’t be using any more.
Make way for new items
Do you have old furniture you no longer like? It’s better to sell it and make money along the way. Once you’ve settled into your new place, you can buy a new piece you’ll be proud of and enjoy for many years.
What should you sell and keep?
Keep the things you truly love and need, and let go of what’s no longer useful. That means focusing on items with monetary, practical, or sentimental value. Think about whether it’s cheaper to move a certain item or to buy a new one when you arrive. Here are some items you might want to include in your move:
- Items you use daily and are still in good condition
- Favourite items
- High-quality furniture (single item furniture movers in NZ can safely move them for you)
- Family heirlooms
- Anything that can make you feel at home and settle comfortably in your new place
- Valuable artwork you love
