Packing up everything
Moving house is the process of relocating from one residence to another—packing belongings, transporting them, and settling into a new home.
The phrase is primarily British; Americans typically say simply moving or relocating.
We're moving house next month means the same as We're moving next month, but emphasizes the domestic upheaval involved.
