The day before you move
This page is part of our house moving checklist, a comprehensive guide that sets out what you need to be doing in advance of your house move and when you should be doing it. With detailed information ranging from how to get the most out of your packing to knowing when to contact your utilities company, you’ll have everything you need set out in one handy place. Let us do the hard work for you and enjoy a more relaxed, stress-free move.
Take a look at the full moving checklist today, or continue reading what you should be doing the day before your move.
Do a thorough, final sweep of your house to ensure you haven’t missed anything. This is best done when all boxes and items are packed into one room. Look behind cupboards, under beds, behind sofas (if leaving them), and down crevices in the kitchen to ensure you leave nothing. Take your time doing this - if you don’t do it properly first time round you’ll get anxious the next day.
Strip the beds and pack the bedding material - this can be taken with you in a box so you can put it straight back on beds when you arrive.
Ensure you have the keys to your new house, or have arranged to collect them in advance.
Inform friends and relatives of the time of your move and have several ‘on call’ to help you if things get too much.
