Make an inventory list

First of all, you should figure out what items you want to move to your new home. Therefore, creating an inventory list is very important. Go through each room in your current home and make a list of all your items. Since every item costs money when moving, choose furniture pieces that you will need in your new home. If you don’t want to throw away the pieces you are leaving behind, you can always put them in a storage unit. You can find high-quality units in Kwun Tong storage. On the other hand, you can always donate or recycle unwanted items.
