Moving Home Checklist_ A Comprehensive Guide

1. Moving Home Checklist: A Comprehensive Guide Moving to a new home is an exciting journey, but it can also be a daunting task filled with endless to-dos. From organizing your belongings to settling into your new place, every step requires planning and attention to detail. At EasyWayRemovals, we understand the stress that can come with relocating, and that’s why we’ve created this comprehensive Moving Home Checklist to make your move smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable. Let’s break down the moving process into clear, manageable steps so you don’t miss a thing. 1. Two Months Before the Move: Start Early Planning ahead is key to a stress-free move. Two months out is the perfect time to start organizing. ✅ Create a Moving Folder Keep all important documents, quotes, receipts, and moving contracts in one place—physical or digital. ✅ Declutter Your Home Take stock of what you own and decide what you want to take, donate, sell, or discard. A lighter move is a cheaper and easier move. ✅ Research Removal Companies Start getting quotes from reputable moving companies. Look for trusted professionals like EasyWayRemovals, known in London for efficient, reliable, and friendly services.

2. ✅ Set a Moving Budget Plan for all moving-related expenses, including packing supplies, cleaning services, temporary accommodation, and moving insurance. 2. Six Weeks Before the Move: Get Organized Now’s the time to start taking action on the plan you’ve created. ✅ Start Packing Non-Essentials Pack items you won’t need in the next few weeks—like seasonal clothing, decor, or books. Label each box clearly with its contents and destination room. ✅ Notify Your Landlord If you’re renting, give formal notice to your landlord as per your lease agreement. ✅ Measure Furniture Ensure your larger pieces will fit through doorways and into your new space. This will help you plan layout and avoid moving day surprises. ✅ Confirm Details with EasyWayRemovals Book your moving date early to secure your spot, especially if you’re moving during peak seasons like summer or the end of the month. 3. One Month Before the Move: Tidy Up Loose Ends With just a few weeks to go, it's time to focus on logistics and transition plans.

3. ✅ Change of Address Update your address with banks, employers, schools, insurance providers, and any subscription services. ✅ Notify Utility Providers Schedule disconnection at your old property and reconnection at the new one for electricity, gas, water, and internet. ✅ Arrange for School Transfers If you have children, make sure their school or daycare is informed, and paperwork for the new school is submitted. ✅ Plan for Pets and Plants Decide how you’ll transport pets and plants. You may need special carriers or services for the journey. ✅ Confirm Packing Supplies Boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, labels—double-check that you’ve got everything you need. 4. Two Weeks Before the Move: Time to Pack Smart Now it's getting real! You’re in the home stretch. ✅ Begin Full-Scale Packing Start boxing up the bulk of your belongings. Pack one room at a time and label boxes clearly. Keep an inventory list if possible. ✅ Separate Essentials Create a moving day essentials box or bag. Include things like:

4. ● Important documents ● Toiletries ● Chargers ● A few days of clothes ● Snacks and bottled water ✅ Dispose of Hazardous Items Flammable, corrosive, or explosive items can’t be moved by professionals. Dispose of these safely and according to local regulations. ✅ Make Repairs If you're selling your home or moving out of a rental, make necessary repairs to avoid deductions from your security deposit or post-sale negotiations. 5. One Week Before the Move: Final Prep Now it’s all about tying up loose ends and preparing for the big day. ✅ Confirm Details with EasyWayRemovals Double-check the time, address, and any specific instructions with our team. We’ll walk you through any last-minute concerns. ✅ Clean the House Give your current home a deep clean, or hire professionals. It’s not only courteous but often required by lease agreements.

5. ✅ Pack a "First Night" Box Think of this as your survival kit for the first night in your new home—bedding, toiletries, kitchen essentials, and anything you’ll need before you unpack everything else. ✅ Defrost the Fridge and Freezer Empty and clean out your fridge at least 24 hours before the move to avoid messes and unpleasant smells. 6. Moving Day: Stay Calm and Focused It’s here! With all your preparation, moving day can be smooth and hassle-free. ✅ Be Up Early and Ready Make sure everything is packed, labeled, and ready to go when the movers arrive. ✅ Do a Final Walkthrough Check every room, cupboard, and drawer to make sure nothing’s left behind. ✅ Supervise the Move Be present and available to answer questions. At EasyWayRemovals, our trained professionals handle the heavy lifting, but your input is valuable. ✅ Keep Valuables with You Documents, jewellery, electronics, and sentimental items should travel with you rather than on the moving van.

6. 7. After the Move: Settle In Congratulations! Now that you're in your new home, it’s time to settle in and make it yours. ✅ Check Utilities Make sure the electricity, water, heating, and internet are working. If not, call the providers right away. ✅ Inspect Delivered Items Check for any damage and confirm everything arrived. Report any issues immediately if you used removal insurance. ✅ Unpack Strategically Start with the essentials. Tackle one room at a time, prioritizing bedrooms and kitchens. ✅ Update the Electoral Roll and GP If you’ve moved to a new area, don’t forget to register with a local GP and update your voter registration. ✅ Meet the Neighbors Introduce yourself! A quick hello goes a long way toward feeling part of your new community.
