Moving house can be a whirlwind of emotions and tasks, but with a well-organised checklist, you can sail through the process with ease. Here's your ultimate guide to a stress-free move when selling your home.

Confirm Your Completion Date
The moment contracts are exchanged, your completion date becomes your guiding star. Mark it on your calendar and let it steer your planning efforts.

Book a Removal Company
Secure quotes early and confirm your booking well in advance. If you're planning to pack yourself, inquire about boxes and packing materials to make the process seamless.

Declutter and Organise
Moving is the ideal opportunity to shed unnecessary items. Donate, recycle, or dispose of things you no longer need, making packing a breeze.

Start Packing Early
Focus on non-essentials first—think spare rooms, lofts, and storage spaces. Clearly label boxes by room and jot down a brief note on contents to simplify unpacking.

Notify Utilities and Services
Keep your utility providers, internet supplier, and council tax office in the loop about your move. Don't forget to take final meter readings on moving day.

Redirect Post
Set up mail redirection with Royal Mail to ensure all important correspondence finds its way to your new address.

Prepare an Essentials Box
Pack a box of day-one necessities—kettle, tea, toilet roll, chargers, snacks, and cleaning supplies. Keep this box close during the move.

Clean the Property
Leave your old home spick and span for the new owners. It's a courteous gesture that wraps up your stay on a positive note.

Hand Over Keys
Once completion is confirmed, arrange for the keys to be handed over as planned.

Remember, moving doesn't have to be daunting. With a clear checklist and a touch of forward planning, your transition can be smooth and stress-free. And if you need expert guidance, we're here to help with all your estate and letting needs.
