Three to four weeks before
Make a room-by-room list of what is moving and what you will sell, donate or discard. A clear inventory helps you get an accurate quotation.
Ask for quotations and compare what each one includes: packing materials, loading, transport, unloading and unpacking.
One to two weeks before
Inform your society office about the moving date and check rules for lift use and loading hours at both addresses.
Arrange transfer or disconnection of electricity, gas, internet and other services. Update your address with your bank and other important contacts.
The day before
Keep a separate bag with documents, medicines, chargers, keys and a change of clothes. Do not pack these with the main goods.
Defrost and dry the refrigerator, and empty water from appliances such as washing machines and RO purifiers.
On moving day
Walk through each room with the team leader, point out fragile items and check the inventory list before the vehicle leaves.
At the new home, check the items against the list as they are unloaded.
