2. Confirm Your Moving Date

Make sure you receive official confirmation of your moving date from your lawyer, the sellers, or your new landlord. This is the first step in planning.

3. Notify Utility Suppliers

Let your electricity, gas, phone, and broadband providers know when you’re moving out. This avoids unnecessary charges and ensures a smooth transition.

4. Declutter Before You Pack

Use this opportunity to go through your belongings. Ask yourself: “Would I buy this again?” Donate, recycle, or discard anything that doesn’t make the cut.

5. Donate Unwanted Items

Give your unwanted items a second life by donating them to charity. This also reduces what you’ll need to pack and move.

 

6. Take Photos of Your Belongings

Before packing, take photos of your items—both for personal records and for moving insurance in case of accidents. It’s always good to have documentation.

7. Gather Packing Supplies

Prepare boxes, packing tape, markers, and blankets. Use old boxes or get some from friends but ensure you’re well-stocked before packing begins.

8. Organise Packing by Room

Pack well in advance and label boxes by room (e.g., Living Room – LR, Kitchen – K). This makes unpacking at your new home much easier.

9. Prepare an Essentials Box

Pack a box with essentials like a kettle, mugs, cleaning supplies, phone/laptop chargers, and travel documents (passports, keys, tickets, etc.) so they’re easily accessible.

10. Arriving at Your New Home

Once the van arrives, have your boxes placed directly into their designated rooms to avoid extra work. Flatten any packaging for recycling, and good luck settling into your new space!

Please use an appropriate container to recycle old packaging.
