How to Prepare Your London Home for a Stress-Free Move-In

Moving into a new home in London can be both exciting and exhausting. The packing, organising, cleaning—it all piles up fast. But the real secret to a smooth move-in isn’t just about carrying boxes; it’s about stepping into a space that already feels like home. That’s where smart planning and St Anne’s Housekeeping makes all the difference.

Here’s how you can prepare your London home for a seamless, stress-free move-in.


  1. Start with a Full Deep Clean

Before you even unpack a single box, make sure your new space is truly clean. Even in newly built flats or recently vacated apartments, there’s always leftover dust, fingerprints, or hidden grime.

St Anne’s Housekeeping offers professional cleaning that covers:

  • Kitchen grease removal and cabinet interiors
  • Bathroom sanitisation
  • Carpet and upholstery freshening
  • Window cleaning for a bright, open feel

A deep clean not only ensures hygiene—it sets a welcoming tone.


  1. Organise Your Packing (and Unpacking!)

Not a fan of boxes and bubble wrap? Let St Anne’s packing team handle it. We wrap fragile items carefully, label everything clearly, and even help set up essentials once you arrive.


  1. Fix It Before You Feel It

Loose taps? Creaky hinges? Let our handyman team take care of the small stuff—quickly and professionally—so you don’t have to stress later.


  1. Don’t Forget the Garden (or Balcony)

Even balconies in London flats can be turned into mini escapes with a little love. Our gardening services can tidy up, trim, and make your space feel instantly inviting.


  1. Stock Up Before You Settle In

Ask about our welcome shopping pack service—we can arrange essentials like groceries, toiletries, and more so your home feels ready from the first moment.


  1. Add Personal Touches (After the Clean)

Once your space is clean, unpacked, and set, it’s time to make it yours. Add those candles, cushions, and frames that reflect you.

Final Thought:
Moving into a new London home doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With thoughtful planning and the support of St Anne’s Housekeeping, you can walk into your new home feeling calm, ready, and refreshed.
