How to unpack your house
Quoting James Greenwood of Stacks Property Finders
You have endured the white-knuckle stress of buying a property or the hassle of dealing with letting agents and landlords. You have shelled out eye-watering sums of money, bundled up your worldly goods and loaded them into a van. Yet the work doesn’t stop when you get the keys to your new place — now you have to unpack.
Once through the door, you’re likely to need a cuppa at the very least, so keep a bag of essentials in the car. “Allocate an airline-style baggage allowance to each family member and ensure they have everything they need for the first few days,” says James Greenwood, regional director at Stacks Property Search. “That way, you won’t be frantically unpacking boxes at 9pm, looking for a must-have night-time teddy.”
As well as bear necessities, you should include sensitive paperwork, jewellery, toiletries, medication, phone chargers, loo roll and pet food. You should also pack a kettle, mugs, teabags, coffee, teaspoons and biscuits. Put cleaning supplies in your essentials bag, too.

When making probably the most important financial decision of your life, it pays to have the right advisors at your side.
Retirement or semi-retirement is an exciting stage in life. Finding the right home to live in and enjoy it to the full is important. We know that and will do all that we can to understand what you’re looking for… before starting to search. And search we will, until we find the house of your dreams.
Relocating is time consuming and stressful. We regularly work with clients who live abroad. We hunt, short-list, prepare your viewings, and make the search process as easy as possible. We oversee the negotiations, manage the conveyancing, and deal with the headaches, so you can concentrate on other aspects of your move.
A holiday home is often an interesting mix of investment and heartfelt connection. You want to use it, but you may well also be keen for others to use it too. We can advise you on what factors to consider in making your decision. And we can then find the perfect holiday home for you to enjoy.
Others say, ‘location, location, location’. We say, ‘location, purpose, price, capital growth, rental returns’… the list goes on. Knowing the market is critical. Local knowledge is key. We ensure all aspects of your investment decision are addressed. Finding, analysing, negotiating, and completing… it’s what we do.
