Checklist for Moving House

You must start with the house removal at least 2 months prior. Here is a list of things which you need to do.

1 month or 45 days before Moving

The first thing to do while moving your house is to book a moving company. This will help you in choosing a day as per your convenience, see what all services do you need to hire, research the market for some good options, plan the further tasks accordingly, etc.

Now that you are done with the removal service, you can focus on other things. So, begin with organising household insurance for your new place.
Notify the government offices such as electoral office, car registration, drivers license department, post office about your new address.
Visit the new home and plan out on the furniture placement. It will be very useful on the day of moving in.
Analyse all your belongings and make a list of all the items. Also, note down any dents or damages. You can even click a picture of your precious belongings for reference.
Declutter unnecessary items from each room. Throw expired items from the kitchen. Start using open packets and frozen food.
Gas cylinders or any other flammable chemicals should be emptied before moving. Talk with your removal service provider regarding the same.
Make a folder to carry all moving-related documents and make a bag for carrying valuable (cash, jewellery, and legal documents) items with you.

In case you are planning to pack yourself, arrange for packing supplies. Also, make sure all the major packing is done a week before moving.
