It takes 14 weeks to settle in after moving to a new home, experts say

It takes Brits’ over three-months (14-weeks) to unpack and settle into a new home or flat after moving.

New research of 2,000 UK adults by leading UK home builder, Redrow reveals the key to a successful move comes down to organising the kitchen first, this includes deciding where things should live in your kitchen (24%), labelling everything up correctly (16%) and having essentials like tea bags, mugs and the kettle in reaching distance.

In order to speed up the settling in process, the best way to make a new space feel like home is ensuring all reminders of the move, like belongings being left in boxes are out of sight and put away in their right place.
