12 Guide to Moving Here are our 10 steps to make your move as smooth and stress-free as possible: 1 2 Make sure to notify your bank, insurance companies, doctor, dentist, post office etc. of your change of address. Also, reroute any subscriptions and cancel things like newspaper or milk deliveries. Declutter! Get rid of any clothes or items you no longer need - try to recycle or give away/sell as much as you can Arrange a house survey for an accurate quotation and so you know exactly what will be involved in your move. Whittle International Movers offer free home surveys and video surveys, arranged at a time to suit you - we recommend a survey at least four weeks before your move. Don t pack at the last minute! Take advantage of our professional packing materials so you can get packing a good couple of weeks before the move. Get in touch to arrange a delivery. Why not let us pack for you? We offer a full packing service to all customers for our convenience While packing, make sure you label each box properly so you know where everything is when unpacking. Also, try not to overload your boxes - heavy lifting can cause injury, and that s the last thing you need on moving day. Set aside one box for all your essentials. This includes your passports and paperwork, as well as any belongings you ll need quick and easy access to - snacks, medication, clothes etc. Dismantle any furniture a day or two before the move, and keep it all organised clearly. Keep keys for cupboards and cabinets handy. On moving day, have one last look around your home to ensure you ve not forgotten a thing. Wall hangings and lampshades might still be in place, so double check! Sort out insurance for your house contents in advance of the move. At Whittle International Movers, we can do this for you to give you that all-important peace of mind.
