Moving on well
Experience, expertise and the understanding that we’re moving people not just possessions.
One Stop Organisers have helped people move or downsize for all sorts of reasons from divorce, finances or ill health, to enabling the fulfilment of their retirement dreams.
Moving home is known to be one of life’s most stressful times and it’s not always wise to try and handle it alone. Working with experts like us can make a disruptive time less overwhelming: we’ve got over 20 years experience in the practicalities of moving, and we’re also here to reassure, calm and soothe, reducing the emotional burden too.
Move and Downsize Specialists
This is a short and punchy statement that leads into this sub-section.
Moving home is very stressful and all too often filled with emotion. We take care of the practical side and we’re also on hand to calm and soothe, taking the emotional strain for you.
There is no need for you to see your home empty; we take care of everything so you can remember it as the lovely space it was, with all your memories intact. The first thing we do is sit down with you, free of charge, to discuss your move and create a moving plan, whatever your circumstances.
We are used to helping clients who are moving due to divorce, ill health and other stressful situations, or to release equity. Or you might just be moving to a new area to be nearer family or the best schools. Read more about our services for seniors here.
Across the road or around the world, upsizing, downsizing or escaping to the country, whatever the size and shape of your house move, we can ease the strain by assisting you with all aspects of the move, known or unknown.
Most clients pay by the hour for our service as they want unlimited support and de-cluttering. For those who want to know exactly how much it will cost, we can create a package for you. We can also offer remote support to guide you through for those looking for a cheaper option.

In fact, if it needs doing, we’ll help you do it. We always recommend we are there on the day to help; we can see things that could happen before they do and manage the right outcome immediately. Whilst most moves have the same list of tasks, every single move is different and we treat each one differently and with the care you, your home, your belongings, and your family deserve.
This is a great service available to those who live far away from us but would still like to access our years of expertise. It’s popular with downsizers and their adult children who often buy the package for their parents. We provide:
- Eight guides / checklists for general planning, clutter-clearing, what to do on exchange, changes of address and how the move day process works.
- Four x 45 minute Zoom, Skype or telephone sessions to keep you on track (can include help with filling in property information forms as required by law and what they really mean).
- Advice on engaging all the professionals you will need to help with your move (estate agents, solicitors, mortgage brokers, removal companies, surveyors etc).
All of this for just £300.
Additional support sessions are available at a per session rate, so if you would like a weekly catch-up to keep you on track, we can give you an option for that.
Additionally, we can help or actually carry out many of the tasks on your behalf at an hourly rate.
The thought of moving house on my own was daunting and causing me sleepless nights. I can honestly say that once I had met Ashley and knew that my move was in her capable hands I began to relax and was able to, once again, sleep at night. I cannot recommend Ashley high enough.
