Household Move

Although the reasons for moving home are usually positive, like moving to a larger property or a new job, a PCS Move or Retirement, the move itself can be traumatic. Use our tips to make the move go smoothly.

Helpful Hints

Pre-Move Checklist

Notify the bank of any changes to direct debits and standing orders.

Arrange a time to collect the keys for your new home from the Real estate agent.

Finalize arrangements with your moving company. Confirm arrival times and make sure your movers have directions to your new address.

Make a list of everyone who should know about the move. Send out change of address cards.

Notify the newspaper that you'll be moving and give them a date you want the service to stop.

Start packing non-essential items such as books and non-seasonal clothes into boxes.

If you have children or pets, arrange for someone to look after them during the move.

Visit the post office and arrange for your mail to be forwarded.

If you need new furniture or carpets - order them now and arrange delivery for when you move in.

Let your doctor, dentist and optician know if you're moving out of the area.

Check your home insurance - make sure you have coverage from the day you move in to your new home.

Book extra storage space if required.

Notify the appropriate utility companies of your move date.

If you're renting, notify your landlord of your moving date

Confirm the date of your move

Start getting rid of possessions you no longer need. Decide which items can be taken to a thrift or missions store, or offered to your friends or church.

Ask your friends Talk to your friends, coworkers, neighbors, or relatives.  Find out if they have moved within the last year.  See what there experiences were.  A solid mover will receive at least forty percent of their business from referrals.

Get an Estimate Call up prospective movers and get a phone estimate.  A better moving company will give a detailed and thorough estimate.  The more detail oriented the company is from the start, the more likely your move will be smooth.  Be careful of companies that give “low-ball" estimates--either quoting low weights on long distance moves, or under quoting hours on a local move.  This is a common tactic some movers use to get more business.  Keep in mind that all movers will charge for the actual time a local move takes, or the actual weight of your long distance shipment.  In other words the lowest price you initially hear may not be the lowest cost in the long run.
