Tips for Preparing a Packing List

First of all, pick a room of your choice and use it as a starting point. Do not forget to include every piece of furniture, and all the fixtures and fittings that will be moved. Add paintings and decoration pieces to the list, if there are any.

After that write the list. To make a list you can either use your computer or just write it down on a piece of paper. Start with dividing a sheet of paper in four columns.

  • In the first column write the name of each item that will be moved.
  • The second column should contain the estimated value of each item that is listed.
  • In the third column you can add some notes regarding the condition of the item, as you would want to note its condition before and after it is moved. There is always a possibility of wear and tear during moving and if there are any losses or damages, you can point that out to your moving company.
  • The fourth column is for your reference and should contain the initial location of the item.

A packing list will definitely help you as you will have a better record of your belongings and will be able to track any items down if they go missing.
