Moving house fills most people with a mix of emotions. It can be exciting to move to a new home and a fresh start, especially if the move is for positive reasons, such as starting a family or buying your first house. But it can also be highly stressful! Packing up, sorting your belongings, and ticking all the boxes to ensure you’ve covered everything you need - it takes a lot of work.
To help you out, we’ve put together our ultimate Moving House Checklist covering all the essential aspects of your move.
Before you start packing, we recommend spending time getting organised with the following:
• Create a spreadsheet for each room of the house.
• List everything you want to take with you.
• Start with the big
furniture and work through the smaller items.
• For items you decide not to take, list them on reseller sites such as Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree or eBay.
• Plan a trip to your local waste disposal area or recycling transfer station for items that are no longer usable.
• If you plan to use
professional removalists, speak to a few in your area for quotes, plan who to work with and get them booked.
We recommend starting this process 2-3 months before you move to give yourself plenty of time. This will help streamline your packing and reduce your overall move stress.
Packing takes a lot longer than people realise, so make sure to start early. Designate a room to start storing packed items - perhaps a garage or spare bedroom.

Remember to:
Make time for self-care - moving can be stressful and will take its toll if you don’t take care of yourself. It’s okay to leave boxes unpacked and take time to rest and relax if you need to.
In the last few days before you move and perhaps the day or two after, there are usually still a few bits that need to be taken care of:
