Draw up a list of your main possessions.
Decide what items you’ll take to your new home and where you will place larger items. A floor plan of your new home may help with this so try and acquire one; your seller may be able to sketch you a rough copy.
Check to see if your insurance policy will cover your move. If not, your removals company should be able to provide cover – get it early to avoid any complications.
Research schools in your new local area. Visit them if necessary until your child finds one they like.
Arrange to transfer your child’s school records.
Spend time with friends and relatives and arrange regular meet-ups over the next couple of months to ensure you get away from it all regularly
Ask around to see who’s free around your moving date – the help of friends and family will be paramount to success
