Complete House Moving Checklist

Moving house is easier when you break it into clear stages. This checklist helps you prepare inventory, organise packing, and coordinate access so your move day runs smoothly.

8–4 weeks before moving day

• Confirm your moving date and book your removals team early.
• Create a room-by-room inventory of furniture and boxes.
• Declutter items you no longer need — fewer items often means a simpler move.
• Notify utilities, broadband, and council tax of your change of address.
• Arrange parking or access at both properties if needed.

1 week before

• Pack non-essential rooms first and label boxes by room.
• Prepare a moving-day essentials box (kettle, chargers, toiletries, documents).
• Confirm key collection times and access with your removals company.
• Take meter readings at your current property.

Moving day

• Keep paths clear for the crew to load efficiently.
• Do a final walkthrough before leaving.
• Check fragile items and high-value pieces are noted in your inventory.
