Moving to your new home is exciting. Finally having a place you can call home is personally satisfying, it is an achievement. However, moving to a new home is not always easy. Depending on the things you own, and the furnishings you would want to include in your new home, you may have to pack a lot of stuff and move it from your current location to your new home.
To make your move a less stressful and inconvenient one, here is a checklist of things you can follow for an easy and successful moving house.
After your home loan is approved, you have a month or so to prepare to move from your apartment or house to your new home. You may need to rent a truck or a moving company to help you with moving. Here are some considerations to look into.
Delays in the settlement can be quite common. If you are to book removalists, a book for around a week after your settlement. If you are renting a truck, it would be advisable to give your managing agent an advance notice. Renting a trolley would also be advisable if you are moving large pieces of furniture. Blankets, plastic and bubble wrap can also be necessary to protect your furniture during the move.
Preparing your personal belongings is not the only things to consider before moving homes. You need to prepare your new home as well. Here are some areas you can look into to prepare your new home for your move.
In most states, the vendor is NOT obligated to clean the home before you move in. You might want to do it yourself after the purchase settlement or you can book a cleaner to do the work for you. Same is true with your old home. You should leave it clean when you move out.
You might want to buy supplies of cleaning materials that can be used during your move. You may need to do a few touches even after the cleaners are already through cleaning your homes.
Cancel all services and utilities in your old home and if possible, transfer it and have it installed in your new home. You’ll find it comfortable to have your utilities and services already available in your new home when your home.
You might want to ask a family member or a friend to be in charge of the kids, or your pet on the actual moving day. You do not want them to be among the possible chaos you’ll experience during the move.
Advise the Australian Post that you are moving into a new address so all your letters and correspondence will be delivered to the new address.
Prior to the move, you should provide a layout of each room in the new home so your movers would be able to place the furniture, especially the big and heavy ones in their respective places. A furniture placement layout would be so useful.
Set aside towels, bed lines, pillows, pieces of clothing and other items that you may need during the first night in your new home. Medications, toiletries and first-aid kits should be ready as well when you move into your new home.
You are a few hours away from leaving your old home and settling into the new one. Defrosting and emptying your refrigerator should be done a day before your move. Valuable items like jewelries and paintings should be kept with you and not in the moving truck. You might also need to recheck every detail about your move to ensure a smooth flow during the actual day of the move.
