Start preparing several days before your scheduled move.
Remove belongings that you no longer want to carry to the new property. Separating unwanted items early reduces last-minute sorting.
Create a basic list of important household belongings.
Keep identity documents, medicines, jewellery, cash, keys, phones, chargers and other personal essentials separately with you.
Prepare a dedicated bag containing clothes, toiletries and basic necessities for your first day at the new home.
Back up important files stored on computers or laptops.
Inform relevant service providers and update important addresses where required.
Keep children and pets away from active moving areas on relocation day.
Before leaving your old property, check every room, cupboard, drawer, balcony and utility area for forgotten belongings.
After reaching the new property, begin with essential items before unpacking less important boxes.
