Making ISLAND your new home? Here are some last-minute moving tips

Moving home can be one of the most stressful things that you ever do in life – even if it’s to somewhere as welcoming, safe and well-equipped as ISLAND.

If you are in the process of looking at properties in Croydon or anywhere else for that matter, you’re in luck – we’ve compiled some of the best tried-and-tested (and often overlooked) tips and advice on moving that you’re likely to find.

Be ruthless

It’s surprising how many boxes and bags can be filled with things that you haven’t used in a while, and probably won’t use after you’ve moved.

With possessions like clothing, DVDS/CDs and anything else fairly disposable, make three piles – ‘bin’, ‘reuse/recycle/give away’ and ‘keep’. Sort the items accordingly, and you’re good to go.

If you’re worried about a lack of anything to watch on telly after this, don’t fret. All of the apartments in ISLAND come equipped with multimedia network cabling and Freeview connection as standard. You also have the opportunity to upgrade to a Sky satellite TV subscription if you so please.

You’re never far away from shopping opportunities in Croydon either, should you massively regret binning that box set.

Pack an overnight bag

Gather up all of your essentials into an overnight bag before you begin packing. Once you do make the move, it's almost guaranteed that you will be too tired to immediately unpack all of your things.

Pack a few changes of clothes, toiletries, a laptop, chargers and anything else you wish to have within easy access during your move – it’s surprising how many people will pack something they desperately need right at the bottom of a box.

We wouldn’t blame you for wanting to kick back and relax once you arrive at your new apartment. After all, all of the bedrooms in ISLAND are fitted with underfloor heating and come with a Freeview TV as standard.

You will be in safe hands when moving in with ISLAND, not least as we have 24-hour security, as well as CCTV throughout the building.
