London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/15/2015 -- A recent poll of over 2,000 adults found that 61% placed the ordeal of moving house at the top of their list of the most stressful events of their lives, surpassing the stress of divorce and starting a new job with only 42% of people citing the latter as more stressful than moving house. Possessions being misplaced in the move and furniture fitting inadequately into the new home topped the list of reasons why the move was deemed so harrowing. Meanwhile, 25% of people admitted to leaving boxes unpacked for weeks.

This will probably not come as a shock to anyone who has tried to move house in the past and found themselves ill-prepared or overwhelmed by unforeseen surprises as they tried to make a positive life change. Most people are excited and anticipant by the initial purchase of a new home. But according to this new research, the actual move itself can leave a bitter taste in the mouth. With a plethora of professional services suggesting that they can make the move easier, it is surprising that the figure could be so high.
