Moving checklist

Whether you are just considering the idea of a move, or you have already had your offer for a new house accepted, you need to create a moving house checklist.

With a checklist, you will make sure that you are prepared, both leading up to and after your moving day, allowing you to tick off every necessary task efficiently and chronologically. Over the next few pages, we share our moving checklist to help you stay organised and make sure your move runs smoothly.

2 - 3 months before your move

Book time off work (before and after your move). Ask your employer if they offer relocation assistance. Look for a new school and transfer your children’s records. Research removal companies and get quotes from at least three for comparison. Start decluttering – go through each room one by one and identify items to sell, donate, or throw away. Create a folder with important documents – company quotations, contact information, contracts, significant dates.

Check your life and home insurance policies to make sure you have all the cover you need.

5 - 6 weeks before your move

Decide on a removal company.

Arrange for a home survey for the property you’re buying. Gather packing materials, either from your removal company or elsewhere. Make a complete inventory of your belongings.

Begin packing, working room by room – start with items that are not immediately necessary. Check for parking restrictions in the area of your current home & new home. Apply for parking permits, suspensions, or dispensations.

1 Month Before Your Move

If you are currently renting, inform your landlord of your moving date. Make arrangements for childcare and pet care during your moving day. Start emptying your fridge, freezer and pantry strategically – create a meal plan. Confirm the moving day with your removal company. Inform utility companies, banks, friends and family of your move. Register to vote and pay council tax in your new area. Clean your home or book professional cleaners.

2 Weeks Before Your Move

Cancel services such as television, telephone and internet to avoid extra charges. Look at potential new utility providers at your new home for better deals, or check if you can take your existing deal with you.

Pay outstanding bills and cancel or redirect your subscriptions to newspapers, magazines, etc. Redirect your post.

Continue packing as much as possible – don’t be afraid to ask friends and family for help. Return any items you have borrowed.

1 Week Before Your Move

Confirm the final details of the moving day with your movers. Create a list of boxes for each room and use coloured labels to match boxes and rooms. Clean and defrost your fridge and freezer. Do as much laundry as possible.

Arrange a time to collect the keys to your new home with your estate agent. Pack your most important documents in a safe, accessible place – this includes passports, driving licenses, birth certificates and insurance papers. Pack an essentials box for your first few days at your new home.

1 Day Before Your Move

Take a thorough walk around your house. Take your time and check all areas. Pack a few lunchboxes for when you get hungry during your moving day. Pack a box with tools you need for unpacking - such as box cutters, scissors, and pens. Make sure your phone is fully charged. Get a good night’s sleep to be in the best shape for your big day. Create an information packet for the new owners, including instructions for appliances, contact information for utility companies, rubbish collection schedule, etc.
