    When you decide to move

    When you decide to move house, you should start to think about everything you need for the move, including: researching your new location, learning the local language and start to look into new schools for your children.

    3 – 6 months before

    Around six months before you move, you should start looking more into your new home: get quotes from your moving company, start searching for your new home and set your moving date. Contact us today for a Free quote!

    1 – 3 months before

    It’s admin time! Whether your move is domestic or international, you should start to organise all the paperwork. Notify relevant parties of your change of address and contact your service providers to either discontinue the service or arrange to switch them to your new address.

    Two weeks before

    The next couple of weeks will fly by, so don’t lose the momentum when it comes to organising your move! Start packing your belongings and donate or sell anything you no longer need.

    One day before

    The big day is finally here! Now is the time to organise all the last bits and pieces to make your move stress-free and successful: pack a moving day box, clean your house and make sure you’ve got everything you’ll need to travel.

    The big move day

    It’s finally here! There are just a few things you need to do before you move to your new house: double check you’ve packed everything and make sure your house is secure with everything switched off.

    Moving into your new home

    Welcome to your new home! There are a few final things to do before you can kick back and relax: unpack room by room, double-check you’ve got all the right keys and contact your local authority for information on recycling/refuse collection days and parking permits.
