Planning a move in 2026? Follow our complete moving house checklist covering packing, removals, changing your address, moving day essentials and settling into your new home. Expert advice from York estate agents, Indigo Greens.
Just five or ten minutes a day can completely transform your home over time. One drawer today, a shelf tomorrow, a wardrobe next week – small actions quickly build momentum and, before long, you'll notice your home feeling lighter, calmer, and easier to enjoy. And if you're thinking about moving home, decluttering has another major benefit. Well-presented, organised homes tend to photograph better, feel more spacious during viewings, and make it easier for potential buyers to imagine themselves living there.
