Moving tips
A few practical things that make moving day easier.
Prepare ahead
Make a list of what needs doing and when. Think about furniture, belongings and arrangements for children or pets on the day.
Get your boxes early
Good boxes and packing materials make packing easier. Ask us about boxes and crates.
Talk to your removals team
Agree your moving date well ahead and ask about anything you're unsure of.
Check access for the van
Think about parking and access at both addresses. Let neighbours know and arrange any permits you need.
Decide what to take
List what's coming with you. An inventory is also useful when you unpack.
Plan your new home
Sketch where furniture will go so everything can be put in the right room.
Start packing early
Begin a few weeks ahead, label each box with its room, and consider a packing service for fragile items.
Tell people you're moving
Give your new address to gas, electricity and water suppliers, your bank and the post office.
Keep important items with you
Carry documents, money and jewellery yourself.
Get to know the area
Find out about your new neighbourhood before you arrive.
Be there on the day
Being on hand means questions can be answered quickly.
Do a final check
Walk round before you leave, check nothing is left behind and turn off what needs turning off.
