checklist for moving homes
When you’re moving home, there’s a lot to think about and plan to make sure everything runs smoothly. In order to ensure you’re organised and prepared, following a checklist for moving homes is essential. Carlin Brown Removals is a family run, professional removals company with over 20 years’ experience based in Bournemouth. We cover Bournemouth, Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire, and are highly experienced with helping customers move home. We understand the importance of reducing the stress of moving home, and as part of our service, we provide an extensive checklist to ensure you’re organised and able to plan your move.
Firstly, it’s important to keep in mind one of the most important points of the checklist for moving homes: make sure you’ve organised a moving date and hired removals specialists. Carlin Brown Removals offer competitive prices, and can provide advice on the most appropriate day for you to move.
When you’ve secured a date for your move, you’ll need to start packing. Make sure you have enough boxes and packing materials for all your belongings. Use labels to keep track of your items and clearly indicate which boxes are fragile. You can also use reminders or take photos to help you remember which furniture and items belong in which room of your new home.
It’s also important to make sure you’ve cancelled all your existing services, such as internet, phone and electricity, at your current home, and have set up new subscriptions for your new home. Carlin Brown Removals can help you with that and provide tips on which services are best in your new location.
When you’ve packed the majority of your items, take the time to declutter and make sure you only take items with you that you’ll still need or use. Give away or donate any unwanted items, or hold a garage sale to make a few extra pounds.
Remember you’ll need to inform your bank, insurance company and the DVLA of your change of address. You should also let your family or friends know your new contact details.
Finally, make sure you’ve had a final check of your old home for any items you’ve missed, and of your new home to make sure it’s ready for you to move in.
At Carlin Brown Removals, we cover all aspects of moving home, from packing and transporting your items, to setting up your new home. Our comprehensive checklist for moving homes helps to ensure you’re as organised and stress-free as possible, so you can focus on making sure you and your family are safe and welcoming your new home.
