Move Savings: Save up to 40% on moving costs
Helpers for Loading and Unloading
The main difference from a full-service move is that with the Light Move, you are responsible for loading and unloading the lorry yourself. You typically need 2-3 helpers to assist with carrying furniture and moving boxes. It is important that your helpers are physically fit and resilient to prevent injuries. Good preparation and organisation are crucial to make the loading and unloading process efficient.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Light Move
Cost Savings
The biggest advantage of the Light Move is the significant cost savings. By handling part of the tasks yourself, the workload for the moving company is reduced, which directly affects the price. Compared to a full-service move, you can save up to 40% on moving costs. This is particularly appealing if you are on a tight budget or wish to minimise moving expenses.
Increased Organisational Effort and Physical Strain
A downside of the Light Move is the increased organisational effort and physical exertion. You need to organise helpers yourself, coordinate the loading and unloading process, and ensure all moving items are safely packed and transported. This requires careful planning and preparation. Additionally, be aware that carrying heavy furniture and moving boxes can be physically demanding.
Additional Services and Options for Budget Move
Booking an Exterior Lift
In many cases, booking an exterior lift can be sensible, especially if you live on a higher floor or need to transport heavy furniture. An exterior lift greatly facilitates the loading and unloading process, saving time and effort. GoMovin offers you the option to add an exterior lift to make the move easier.
Provision of Packing Materials
Many moving companies, including GoMovin, offer you the possibility to rent or purchase packing materials like moving boxes, packing paper, and tape. This is a practical option as you do not have to source the items yourself and can be sure they are suitable for the move. Ensure you have enough packing materials available to safely pack all your moving items.
Lightroom Move: Safely Transfer Data to New PC
Export of the catalogue with original files to an external hard drive
In this case, it is recommended to export the catalogue with the original files to an external hard drive. This is a secure method for transferring your data and avoiding issues with missing directories.
Transferring important settings and folders
Copying the Lightroom and CameraRaw folders from the AppData/Roaming directory
To transfer all your settings and preferences, you should copy the Lightroom and CameraRaw folders from the AppData/Roaming directory. These folders contain essential configuration files that are required for Lightroom to function smoothly.
Adjusting drive letters in Lightroom after the move
After the move, it may be necessary to adjust the drive letters in Lightroom. This is the case if the drive letters on the new computer differ from those on the old computer. Go to the catalogue settings in Lightroom and modify the locations of your image files accordingly.

FAQ
What exactly does "Move to Light" mean?

Do I need special skills or tools for a "Move to Light"?
For a "Move to Light", you don't need special skills, but having basic DIY abilities (e.g., for dismantling furniture) and sturdy moving boxes is advantageous. The moving company can also provide packing materials if needed.
What is the difference between a "Move to Light" and a complete DIY move?
With a "Move to Light", you benefit from the professional support of a moving company (truck, driver), whereas in a DIY move you must organise and carry out everything yourself. The "Move to Light" is therefore a good option if you want to save money but still want professional help.

How do I secure my Lightroom data when moving to a new PC?
Before moving, secure your Lightroom catalogue and all associated image files. It is advisable to maintain the original folder structure and deactivate Lightroom on the old computer before installing it on the new system.
