One month prior to moving

– Find your removals company
– Finalise real estate and apartment rental needs
– Put away your medical, legal and insurance records in a secure and easily accessible place
– Start giving mailers your new address: friends, family, banks, insurance companies, doctors, dentists, tax authorities and government agencies, as well as changing debit and credit card companies
– Save all of your moving receipts
– Familiarise yourself with the area you are moving to through maps

Fortnight prior to the move

– Notify all your gas, electric, telephone and water providers of your move and sign up for services at your new address
– Recruit professional help for your move
– Ensure that all of your travel reservations are good
– Make the arrangements of transferring or closing your bank account

Packing

It is useful to keep the below supplies and accessories available:

– Variety of boxes
– Bubble wrap along with other cushioning/protective packaging
– Markers
– Tape measure
– Old blankets/furniture pads
– Packing tape and scissors
– Money and credit/debit cards

Make sure that each box is labelled along with the room the contents belong in; number the boxes and keep a list that outlines what is in each of these boxes; make ‘FRAGILE’ labels clear to read using either a ‘FRAGILE’ sealing tape or a marker pen.

You will want to pack a bag with what you’ll need during the process of the move such as a change of clothes, medicine, a medical kit, food, drinks, toiletries and possibly maps.
