Welcome to summer and our penultimate Black Book edition for 2022
We are thrilled to be offering this generous portfolio of quality properties at years end.
Astute vendors are entering the market understanding there has never been a better time to “trade up” with the financial differential on the next purchase having closed up considerably in real terms.
This offers choice and realism to purchasers as well.
The consensus view remains that “bricks and mortar” is the best place for your hard earned money, along with the many other positive intangible benefits that home ownership offers in New Zealand.
If you require an experienced professional agent to help navigate a successful sale or purchase in this rapidly changing landscape, we are here to help.
Enjoy and bring on the sunshine.

We’re very excited to share this news with you. Your Easy Move has changed, we’re now Move By Design.
We’ll be providing the same stress-free moving experience, however our new name better communicates our ability to offer first class, well-planned, tailormade move solutions. It also opens the door to exciting possibilities for the future.
The change to Move By Design also brings a refreshed website with added content in the form of moving tips and advice, plus refined moving service options.
Move by Design was born out of a 40 year plus family history in the moving industry.
Both my father and brother owned furniture removal companies in the UK. This family background, together with my career experience in Project Management and as an Organising Consultant, made starting my own premium moving service a natural choice.
Move By Design brings to the forefront my well-honed project management skills and my ability to listen and understand customer needs to provide a very personal service. The result is our clients experience a seamless and exceptional moving experience.
Doing things By Design means taking a purposeful, planned approach and this can be helpful in many aspects of our life. If we plan, rather than letting things unfold haphazardly, we can avoid overwhelm and disappointment.
A By Design approach can help us achieve our desired outcome, rather than leaving things to chance. In a time when life is so busy, designing aspects of our life becomes even more important to ensure we can have time to enjoy the sweet things in life, to smell the roses.
Move By Design provides end-to-end bespoke moving services and personal move management. We look after everything from pre-sale house preparation, such as decluttering, maintenance and styling, through to packing move day management, unpacking, new home setup and organisation.
We can provide full move management so clients can focus on what’s important in their life, whether that’s work, family, their wellbeing or simply looking forward to life in their new home.
If you’d like to know more, get in touch, I’d love to hear from you. We’d love to help make moving a joyful and easy experience for you.
