Decluttering

We recommend decluttering before you start to pack. Take time to sort through your belongings and decide what to take with you to your new home in the Retirement Village.

Our Retirement Moving team can help you to declutter and support with the donation, disposal or repurposing of unwanted items.

We work in partnership with All Heart NZ to ensure unwanted items are repurposed where possible.

Decluttering before packing and moving is an essential (and helpful) step in the move process: 

• Space management: You will want to consider the space available in your new home and what you want to take with you. Decluttering helps you maximize the available space and only bring what you really need and use.
• Stress reduction: Moving can be stressful, and decluttering can help reduce that stress by making the process more manageable and less overwhelming.
• Emotional attachment: Decluttering can be an emotional process, as you may need to let go of items that hold sentimental value. By decluttering before moving, you have more time to process these emotions and make thoughtful decisions about what to keep and what to let go.
