Moving Home
There is a lot to think about when moving house. We have put together an article that should help make the process easier.
Four months before moving: Before your weekends are lost house hunting and packing, get rid of all your clutter. Consider doing a boot sale or donating to charity. Be ruthless; if you have not used it in two years, get rid of it.
Three months before moving: Make arrangements with a moving company. Get at least three quotes, and go with a reputable company.
Two months before moving: Make up a standard change of address letter or cards printed with your new address and phone number.
One month before moving: Once you have your move date, you can start telling people of your new address. Start packing. You can start packing your things (Christmas decorations and ski gear!!).
A useful tip is to take an inventory of your belongings before they're packed, in case you need to fill in an insurance claim later.
One to two weeks before moving:
Arrange for people to help you on the moving day.
Switch utility services to new address.
Defrost freezer and refrigerator.
Place deodorant inside to control odours.
Cancel future milk and newspaper deliveries and settle bills.
Send out final moving notification letters, follow the checklist above.
Reconfirm the important things (removal company, key exchanges etc.) two or three days before the move.
Above all, try to enjoy the move; it is the start of a new time of your life.
