1–2 weeks to go… are you ready?
With only a couple of weeks till moving day, it’s really getting down to crunch time. Stay organised and on track – here’s our moving house checklist with some of the important steps you’ll need to take at this point.
Organise family or friends to mind your kids or pets on moving day
Notify utility services and arrange connection/disconnection of your phone line, gas, electricity and water
Get your mail redirected through your local Post Office
Change your address on the licence and registration of your vehicles
Get your car checked if you’ll be driving it a long way
Notify the bank and the tax office of your change of address
Cancel your subscriptions and deliveries – newspaper, groceries, etc.
Cancel any domestic services – gardening, mowing, cleaning and so on
Draw up a layout plan of your new home, showing where you want all your furniture to go, so you can give this to your removalist
Clean out your garage or garden shed
Drain your lawn mower and remove batteries from battery-powered items
Safely dispose of any flammable items
Start preparing some essentials for moving day. Set aside bedding and towels to be used on the first day after the move.
