Tips for your move
A move involves many details, and it is easy to underestimate how long everything takes. That is why it is important to start planning well in advance. To make things easier, we have created a checklist to help you remember everything and stay organized. Use our checklist for a smoother move.
Booking moving services early is essential to avoid last-minute stress. Popular moving dates can fill up quickly, so make sure to secure your date as soon as possible.
A move is the perfect opportunity to go through your belongings and get rid of what you no longer need. By decluttering, you reduce the amount that needs to be packed, which saves both time and money.
Packing often takes longer than expected. Start with the things you use least, such as seasonal clothing and decorative items. Label every box clearly with its contents and the room it belongs in — this saves time when unpacking.
Remember to arrange electricity and water for your new home. Make these arrangements in advance so everything is ready when you move in.
Make sure you have working internet and phone service from day one. Contact your provider in advance to transfer or start new subscriptions.
Check that your home insurance covers both your old and new home during the moving period. If you do not have moving insurance, consider taking out additional cover for extra peace of mind.
Do not forget to register your change of address with the relevant authorities and notify important parties such as your bank, insurance company, and any subscriptions.
Move-out cleaning is a major part of the move, and you may prefer to hire professionals. If you plan to do it yourself, use a checklist to make sure everything is cleaned and ready for the next resident.
Do not forget that you can use the RUT tax deduction for both move-out cleaning and moving services, which can significantly reduce your costs. We are happy to help you calculate how much you can save.
