The key to successful moving is organization. Because every minute of every day is precious, strategic planning is essential when moving into a new home. Inefficient planning can often lead to insufficient time, which then leads to a host of problems on Moving day as well as the Big Day itself.
The most difficult thing about moving house is organizing all the tasks you need to complete before you go.
A moving timeline will help you organize and simplify your move. In reality, a moving schedule for moving is a checklist that not only tells WHAT but also WHEN you should complete it. This will ensure that there is no confusion about what task to follow.
Our moving timeline checklist begins with four weeks before the day of move-out.
1. Start looking for a house or apartment that best suits your needs. And, of course, consider whether you can afford to buy or rent.
2. You will need to decide whether you want to hire a professional mover or organize your own move. This is a crucial decision that will influence how you prepare to move.
3. Get free quotes from top-rated moving firms to get an estimate of how much your move might cost. The estimates can help you figure out what kind of move is possible and what services are available.
4. Ask movers if you need additional services like packing, disassembly or temporary storage (delayed deliveries), etc. They will work out the price and include it in the moving cost estimates.
5. Take inventory of the items in your home. You can then take a closer look on the home inventory sheet in order to identify which items you are moving and which you will keep.
6. Continue packing. You should start by packing the rooms that are most difficult to pack.
7. Cancel the services at the current place. Get in touch the service providers of the new city/town and arrange for the installation of main house utilities in your new home. When you arrive at your new residence, you will require running water and electricity.
