Moving Day!
Ideally you want all the packing to be done before moving day, so that on the day, all you have to do is to load the van and go. If you can get the van pre-loaded the day before, so much the better!
On your way out
Take pictures if appropriate
Meter readings
Turn lights off
Drop keys off
New Home
Meter readings
Unpack Kettle!
Hoover if you can before unpacking the van
Put together and make up the beds first!
Who you should notify of change of address:
The local council for council tax purposes
Your employer
Your utility companies (Gas & Electric)
Your GP & Dentist
Your phone and internet providers
Your bank(s)
Electoral Roll (updating your registration)
Your insurance providers (including pets, car and travel insurance)
Unpacking.
I like to unpack all the boxes as soon as possible (I’m a bit of an unpacking Ninja) as it then forces me to put things away. One thing I often find in my clients’ homes is packed boxes from previous moves, so I always think it’s a good idea to get rid of the boxes as soon as possible.
