You went to so much effort to leave your home in a lovely clean and welcoming state for the new owners. It's a shame not everyone else is as thoughtful.
My mum to help the woman who lived in my house previous to my family had to clean the house before we moved in and it took her another 6 hours to clean the house when we moved in as the woman never cleaned her house and we had to majorly overhaul the place to get it to a liveable standard
Oh Emma, i loved the tour of your old house and loved that you were leaving it so clean. My heart literally dropped 💔💔 when you said your new house was left in a state. People are absolute scruffs! The previous owners of my sisters house did that and left a load of shit in the attic! Thanks for the tip of the ‘first night box’. If we ever move again I will defo be doing that! Cannot wait for the next vid! 💕💕💕
Congratulations on your move Emma! What a shame you had to move in to your new home without it being cleaned. It never ceases to amaze me that we hand over so much money when we buy a new home and never know what will greet us! If you move out of a rented property you don’t get your deposit back if you don’t clean it. Ridiculous! Anyway, I hope you’re all settling in now. Let the fun begin 😀
Sad, isn't it, leaving a much - loved family home. Wishing you well in the new house, and hoping you all have many happy adventures in the years to come!
I have had three homes in total, and have never been lucky enough to have had any previous owners leave the houses in a clean and today state to move into! It’s annoying when you have left your own sold house in a beautiful clean state!! But perhaps the previous owner was elderly, and did not have family or friends that could help him? Wishing you good health and happiness in your new home! Xx
We've just moved - including cleaning our old home for the new owners, I've been scrubbing for a solid week! Thanks for sharing, hope you're all settling in Xx
Your old house was so beautiful, every room was so big and nicely decorated. The new people have bought a lovely house. All the best in your new home xxx
My sister had my 2 children overnight when we moved which was really handy. I got tearful for you while watching the vlog. I wouldn't be unhappy to move as i really don't like my house anymore. I hope you have a happy healthy life in your new home. xx
Oh I shared a little cry with you then Emma! And fair play to you for all the cleaning in your old house, I hope when I move the new house is as well cared for as yours x
We ended up staying over at my in laws (pre pandemic!) when we moved, our house was beautifully clean when we arrived but couldn't face re building beds and sorting anything after moving day. I agree, shouldn't expect to stay the first night especially with kids in tow!
We moved into our bungalow last December 12th after 23 years in our old house so understand the emotion and the memories. (Filmed it all on my channel 😉) I can't believe the person before didn't clean, leaving stuff behind! 😮 It takes a while to get unpacked and settled then the fun of decorating starts! We tackled it a room at a time. Hope you have many happy years in your new home! 😘
I was getting George Banks vibes when you were saying goodbye to your old house. Wishing you all the best in your new home, here's to lots of new memories ☺️🏡
What a pig leaving food in the freezer!!! When I've moved I've always timed a week or 2 in between and gone in and painting everything 🤣 looking forward to the next vlog 😘❤
I feel you on the whole people leaving things behind! When I moved into my place there must have been 20 dead potted plants, 10 cans of lysol spray, randoms garbage , food in freezer/fridge (worst part was no one had lived in it for a year).
Who doesn't clean before they leave?? Moving home is stressful enough without going into a dirty house! I'm so sorry this happened. Last thing you needed!
i cried to when i locked up my old home for the last time after 9 years , but i needed a bigger space after i now care for my brother . Been three years to this day we moved and love where we are but basically only moved 20 minutes away but have a lovely sea view . Good luck with the new house Emma i'm sure you will make it look fab xx
Aw I'm so sorry your moving day didn't quite go as planned. I had such a huge lump in my throat when you cried in the car! Can't wait to see your new home... congratulations! Xx
I had the same issue when my partner and I moved into my house the previous owners left crap everywhere; multiple trips to the tip needed! Wasn’t impressed! Glad you’re now in and hope you and your family are very happy in the new house 💛
When we moved to Yorkshire from south Wales my dad came up with the removal van and stayed in a hotel while me and mum came up with the cat and camped in my bedroom, it's a small village so the first night there was only one takeaway open and we ate it on a box and camping chairs in the living room, was a fun adventure!
Congratulations and best of luck! Really looking forward to seeing your new house. Was a bit emotional when I saw you saying goodbye to your kitchen. I remember watching the grand opening!
We had a cleaning company help with cleaning our new house when we moved, it was a good investment as they did it much quicker than we would have been able to. We've had similar problems where a previous owner left the house in a state and it took ages to get it straight
I hope you’re settling in ok Emma, I’m sure you’re getting super organised , looking forward to the new house tour, lots of new memories to be made , wishing you happy times ahead 💗x
I had the same experience, but not during the pandemic. My heart sank for you. I cried when I walked through the door, it took a couple of weeks to get it clean and clear, but I was so angry. We left our house spotless and walked into a bio hazard. Hope you get settled faster than I did x
When we moved, the people had not cleaned for what seemed like YEARS. It was so disgusting- grease, cigarette smoke, cupboards full of out of date food... Coincidentally our removal company had moved out their family and felt so sorry for us as they knew the house was grim. They even helped us to clean as it was so bad! Three years here and we are still slowly dealing with the dodgy carpets and dodgy DIY, but loving it. One word of wisdom- it takes a while for the house to feel like a hone and I think a lot of this is to do with the smell- we had candles, incense sticks, etc to fumigate even after we had cleaned!
Congratulations!! Can’t wait to watch many more vlogs in the lovely new house. Also I am so glad the shelves of dreams are coming I was getting a bit worried about them!! xx 😂❤️
Aww congratulations on your new home and enjoy making new memories. Are you going to do a q&a on why you decided to move. Is your new house bigger? Etc. Looking forward to the house tour 😊.
Oh Emma- why didn’t your new house people think to clean? Crazy and especially how you left your house spotless. Just goes to show you can’t overthink a house move. Good luck in getting settled and making it your home . Can’t wait for the next video x
Loved this vlog Emma💗 A first night box such a good idea! Moving is never straight forward, I’ve moved to 3 different Counties over the years🤦🏼♀️ plus had a dog & 2 rabbits in the car with one move🤦🏼♀️ Can’t wait to see the house tour💗💗💗
That was some reveal at the end, after preparing for every eventuality for everyone else...mum forgets her pants 🩲 Congratulations on your new home, can’t wait for the move in vlog!
When we brought our first house back in August it was disgusting! When we viewed it was full of boxes and furniture so we didn’t quite see how awful it was😂 took us 4 days to fully clean it! The previous owner had 2 huge dogs and 5 kids and I don’t think she’d had time to clean in about 5 years! Luckily as we were first time buyers there was no chain and we could just stay at my mums house which is 30 seconds down the road until it was ready! Good luck with the rest of moving in x
Wow I think not cleaning before you go is such bad manners, can't believe they left stuff in the freezer as well! We're in our first house. It was empty when we bought it and we moved out of a rented place so I haven't really had to think about other people cleaning yet. Wishing you lots of happiness in your new home! xx
Ahhhh this reminds me of when we moved, I scrubbed our house so it was ready for the buyers but the house we were moving in to was absolutely disgusting! What made it worse was we knew them (as the house is in the same street as my mum) and when I saw them in the morning the woman was like oh I've been none stop cleaning. What a lie!! I don't think the carpets had seen a hoover for years!
As if the decorator left halfway through the job. 😡I had the same problem with an electrician. He tried to find a fault and bashed his way through a newly plastered wall, cut a wire that wasn't even the issue and just taped it up. Never saw him again he never answered our calls. He left us with a hole in the wall with wires hanging out and the issue unresolved. At the time the issue we had caused us to be without hot water or heating. It was coming into winter too. Arse!! Thankfully we got it all sorted :)
My last move was nearly 15 years ago so I now see moving through rose tinted glasses ☺. I'm sure it'll come as a huge shock to me if we move😂. Hope you are all happy in your new home x
Ooo what a good idea staying in the premier inn on the first night! We’re selling ours at the moment so I think we’ll do that too (if it sells) as we’ve three little ones, a lot less stress thanks 😊 xxx
I've cried with you,laughed with you great idea to stay at the hotel the first night fresh start the next morning and a little adventure for the children too have a great first weekend and half term this week settling in hope Lucy is settling too x🏠🎉🏠🎉
Congratulations on the move 🏡 We had a similar thing when we moved. I cleaned our old home completely, our new home was left dirty!! Pee pee all over the downstairs toilet floor So I feel for you x
I think that's really bad that the previous owners of your new house didn't clean it. That just makes me sad. Especially after you left your old house in such good condition and even left them a wee welcome pack.
We have moved a few times and the house we go to isn’t cleaned either! How do people have the audacity to leave it in a mess, it baffles me! Once the previous owners of house we bought even left lots of dog mess on the lawn 😡
You went to so much effort to leave your home in a lovely clean and welcoming state for the new owners. It's a shame not everyone else is as thoughtful.
Poor you ☹️ I don’t understand when people don’t clean, so bad!! Glad you are in now and hope you are really happy there xx

You can’t imagine someone moving out and not cleaning ☹️......hope all going well and you feeling at home now xx

Tears in my eyes as you walked around your old house! Good luck in your new house x.
Your old house was so beautiful, every room was so big and nicely decorated. The new people have bought a lovely house. All the best in your new home xxx
I recently left my childhood home, it was sold in my parents divorce. And I completely felt your tears in my soul.
My sister had my 2 children overnight when we moved which was really handy. I got tearful for you while watching the vlog. I wouldn't be unhappy to move as i really don't like my house anymore. I hope you have a happy healthy life in your new home. xx
It’s a lovely house with lots of character ❤️ But I’m sure you’ll all be very happy in your new home, too! 🏠
I’m so sorry you guys had to clean everything, they should have cleaned before they left!💕
Oh I shared a little cry with you then Emma! And fair play to you for all the cleaning in your old house, I hope when I move the new house is as well cared for as yours x

Bless yous ending up in a premier inn 😂 one to add to the memories though 🤣🤣 can’t wait to see the new house 🏡
When I moved there was dog sick stains on the carpet. Nothing had been hovered or dusted, it was so dirty. I don't know why people leave it a mess

Awww i cried in the car when we left our old house too. Here's to many happy new memories in the your new home xo
Who doesn’t clean before they move 😱 especially in Covid times! I would be fuming! X
Who doesn't clean before they leave?? Moving home is stressful enough without going into a dirty house! I'm so sorry this happened. Last thing you needed!
It didn't all go to plan but love that your still smiling Emma.
So happy and emotional for you all. Cannot wait to see the new house tour and how you set it up and decorate! Lots of love from NY!
God Babs you must've been knackered! Cant wait to see the new house 😍

This was really emotional. I loved your old bedroom and en suite. ❤️
Thanks for taking us along on your moving journey. 🧡
There was a baking tray with charcoaled chips in the oven on the day we moved to our current house! The joys! Hope you’re all settled now xxx
i cried to when i locked up my old home for the last time after 9 years , but i needed a bigger space after i now care for my brother .

Oh I’ll miss seeing your happy little home. I’ve followed your lovely family since you moved in there. All the best in your new home!

Oh Emma you did so well I would have been a basket case!! Best of luck in your new home xxx

Our house was SPOTLESS when we moved in. Never to be that clean again 😂
I’m paying attention because we are moving in about a year ! Definitely good idea to stay in a hotel!
Oh ffs why am I crying 😭 ? Bloody love you xxxc
best of luck for the new home
Thanks so much! x
I've cried with you,laughed with you great idea to stay at the hotel the first night fresh start the next morning and a little adventure for the children too have a great first weekend and half term this week settling in hope Lucy is settling too x🏠🎉🏠🎉
When we moved in to our house, there was dried toothpaste in the sink!! We did a night in a hotel, best decision ever!
Best of luck in your new home Emma. Can I ask why you have moved? You seem to love the old house so much, feel like I have missed something??
Congratulations on the move 🏡
We had a similar thing when we moved. I cleaned our old home completely, our new home was left dirty!! Pee pee all over the downstairs toilet floor
So I feel for you x
Ah that's annoying. I've moved into places like that before not with kids though, eek! Good luck in the new place
Best of luck in your new home! We moved once ( 2 weeks before Christmas )and I swore that I would never do it again! So far so good😜
Stephen said - oh we should do this every few years it's fun. And I was like "WHAT?!"
I had the same problem, spent 2 days cleaning the kitchen alone! Had to take an extra week off work
Good luck. How clean did you leave your house !! Looked amazing. I’ve never been that lucky x
I think that's really bad that the previous owners of your new house didn't clean it. That just makes me sad. Especially after you left your old house in such good condition and even left them a wee welcome pack.
We have moved a few times and the house we go to isn’t cleaned either! How do people have the audacity to leave it in a mess, it baffles me! Once the previous owners of house we bought even left lots of dog mess on the lawn 😡
That sucks you had to clean so much! Especially when you cleaned your old house and left a card and mugs for those moving in!
Best of luck in you're new home lovely🏡😘
Thanks Ami! x
