To mark National Moving Day (Tuesday, August 19), Lovell Homes (provider of new homes at Augustus Grange, Haverfordwest) is sharing its top tips to help new homebuyers unpack and settle into their brand-new homes.

This year, Lovell Homes achieved Gold for customer service with In-house Research, meaning an impressive 95.5 per cent of customers would recommend Lovell to family and friends.

Suzie Hewitt, regional sales director at Lovell Homes, said: “Moving home is one of life’s most important milestones, and we want our residents to enjoy the excitement of settling into their new Lovell home. To help them make the most of moving day, we have listed our top five tips to make the process as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

“At Lovell Homes, we are committed to supporting our buyers at every stage of their journey, and we hope these tips offer useful guidance along the way.”

Start by unpacking the items you will need right away, such as bedding, toiletries, a change of clothes, phone chargers, and basic kitchenware. Keeping these close at hand will help you feel comfortable and settled from the moment you arrive, without having to dig through dozens of boxes.

Rather than trying to unpack the whole house at once, focus on one room at a time. Begin with spaces you use most, like the kitchen or bedroom, and work your way through the rest. Before making the move into your new home, label boxes clearly to make this process easier and help you find things faster.

Even if the unpacking is not finished, adding familiar items such as photos, artwork or a favourite blanket can make your new home feel instantly welcoming. These small details can help you relax and feel truly at home while you continue organising.

Take a break from unpacking boxes and spend time getting to know your surroundings. Find the nearest shops, cafés, pharmacy and public transport links, and explore local parks or walking routes. A quick wander around can help you feel connected to your new community and discover hidden gems nearby.

Moving home is a big milestone, so take a moment to enjoy it. Whether it is a relaxed dinner with family or friends, a coffee with new neighbours or a small housewarming, celebrating your move can help to create happy first memories in your new space.
