Moving checklist: what you need to know when you move
Moving brings a lot of stress and hassle. You have to think about many different things that have to ensure that you can move into your new home as quickly as possible and without problems. From administrative matters that you have to adjust to renting a moving van and selecting all the new furniture and home accessories. To help you keep track, we have created a moving checklist. We hope to help you with a smooth and trouble-free move where you won't forget any important things.
What should you consider before moving?
Moving involves a lot of work. It doesn't take a lot of time to move all your belongings, it is also important that certain matters are arranged well in advance or that administrative matters are adjusted in time. To ensure that everything goes smoothly, it is wise to plan your move completely. This way you can prevent problems from arising along the way. The most important thing is that you cancel the lease of your previous home or put your current home up for sale in time, after all, you want to avoid double costs. Take notice periods into account. It is also important to know and arrange well in advance how you are going to move your belongings. Think, for example, of moving boxes, temporary storage or a moving van that you have to arrange.
What do you need to arrange when you move?
When you are moving, there are a number of small things that you would not immediately think of, but that should definitely not be forgotten. Examples of this are arranging various insurances such as home contents and building insurance, life insurance and liability insurance. In addition, the gas, water and electricity must be arranged in your new home, as well as the wifi and TV connection. Are you moving to another municipality? Do not forget to indicate this in time, this sometimes takes some time to be processed by the municipality. If you have reported the move, this is usually also automatically changed by the municipality with, for example, the tax authorities. However, you must have this adjusted yourself with your doctor, physiotherapist, dentist or gym, etc. Just like you must not forget to no longer have packages delivered to your old address.
Tips for moving your belongings
But how do you pack, transport and give all your belongings a place in your new home in a smart way? A handy tip that we can take with you is to wrap all your fragile items in your own towels. This prevents them from breaking during transport and you do not have to use bubble wrap or other non-sustainable materials. Also pay attention when moving a refrigerator. In our blog about a moving refrigerator read more about it here. If you have a hatchback car, you can easily fold down the back seat, so that you can store more moving boxes. You can also rent moving boxes from companies, friends or family instead of buying them. Pack all your belongings room by room and work with different (colour) coding. Start with the things that you do not need immediately or do not use often. Do you want to work efficiently? Clean all the things that you pack and the spaces that you empty immediately, so that you have also done that major cleaning. Perhaps also the ideal moment to sort out all the things to throw them away immediately.
