Posted by Ryan Prato on December 4th, 2018

Everyone must plan carefully when moving into a new house. A checklist for moving househelps keep track of important actions. Your list must cover all the tasks to complete. The moving process begins two months before you move to ensurethat everything will run smoothly. So please take your time to plan everything carefully, find a great real estate agent,and research the amenities and facilities in the areaof your new home.

-          Two months before you move, you need to find areal estate agent. You also need to do some research intoyour new area to get some information about local facilities. If you have children, you need to transfer their records to the new school.

If you are renting, let your landlord know your moving date. Check your insurance policy; it may cover your move.  If not, the moving company can provide cover. You need to check the insurance in time.Purchase a file to keep the documents regarding your move: do to lists, important figures and details of your transactions.

-          Six weeks before you move, you may clear out anything you don’t need in your new home. It’s better to begin this operation by making a list to know exactly what items you need to move and the objects you don’t need anymore. The list is also useful for the moving company. They will know exactly what to do during the pre-move visit.

Your to-do list for moving must contain information regarding local moving companies. 

o   Obtain 5 moving quotes

o   Make an inventory of your goods

o   Choose items you will take to your new home and the items you don’t need anymore

o   Check parking restrictions and the parking conditions at your current and new home.

o   Find how to purge the unwanted items. Keep in mind that removal companies quote on volume. You need to move the smallest volume possible.

o   If you move due to your job, find what cost, if any, your firm will cover

o   Purchase packaging material if the moving company doesn’t supply packaging materials

o   Build a moving and packing checklist

-          One month before you move you need to have a surveyor to inspect the new property. Now you can finalize the moving papers.

o   Finalize the moving papers

o   Confirm the booking with the moving company

o   Find storage facilities if necessary

o   Organize to have your new home cleaned
