Start with what is coming
Walk through your home before you start boxing things up. Decide what you will move, donate, sell, or leave behind. Include the garage, outdoor spaces, and cupboards. Keep a separate list of anything that needs special attention, such as a large mirror or delicate cabinet. A clear inventory gives you a useful starting point for every later conversation.
Bring the practical details together
Write down both addresses, your preferred date, and any dates that cannot work. Check stairs, lift availability, loading space, and building rules at each property. Ask about access arrangements before your moving date is confirmed. If you expect a gap between homes, include it in your request rather than leaving storage until the last moment.
Pack for the first night
Keep a bag with medication, identification, chargers, toiletries, a change of clothes, and the keys you need. Separate essential paperwork from boxes. Label each packed box with its destination room and a short description. Before leaving, check every cupboard and storage area, take a final look around, and keep your moving documents close at hand.
Put the details to work.
Add these details to your moving request. Ask the team to confirm the agreed services and arrangements before moving day.
