Tips for your move
A move involves a lot of details to keep track of, and it's easy to underestimate the time it takes to get everything in place. Therefore, it is important that you start planning well in advance. For convenience, we have created a checklist to help you remember everything and keep better control. Use our checklist for a smoother move!
Booking relocation assistance early is crucial to avoid last-minute stress. Popular move-in dates can quickly become fully booked, so be sure to secure your date as soon as possible.
The move is the perfect opportunity to go through your stuff and get rid of what you no longer need. By clearing out, you can reduce the amount to be packed, saving both time and money.
Packing often takes longer than you think. Start with the things you use the least, like seasonal clothing and trinkets. Label all boxes clearly with their contents and the room they are going to — this saves time when unpacking.
Remember to arrange for electricity and water subscriptions in your new home. Notify this in advance so that everything is up and running when you move in.
Make sure you have working internet and phone from day one. Contact your provider in good time to move or start new subscriptions.
Double check that your home insurance covers both your old and new home during the moving period. If you don't have moving insurance, consider taking out one for extra security.
Do not forget to make a change of address with the Swedish Tax Agency and communicate your new address to important parties such as the bank, the insurance company and any newspaper subscriptions.
Moving cleaning is a big step, and it can be nice to hire professionals. If you do it yourself, use a checklist to ensure everything will be clean and ready for the next resident.
Don't forget that you can use the RUT deduction for both moving cleaning and relocation assistance, which significantly reduces costs. We'll be happy to help you figure out what you can save.
