MOVING HOME CHECKLIST

Aires understands that you are not just moving house; you are changing your entire life. Your project management skills can be tested when you move to a new home. It can be overwhelming to manage all the details and organize everything. This can lead to headaches.

The three main steps involved in moving a home are well-known to you.

  • Start packing!
  • Hire a reliable removals company
  • Disconnect and connect utilities

These are just a few of the fundamental principles for moving houses. There are many tasks to complete before and during a move. We have been helping people move houses for more than 300 years.

IN THE WEEKS UP TO YOUR MOVE

It is important to start thinking about the things that need to be done before you move. You may be looking for a place to start when packing for your new home. You should declutter your home in the weeks before you move. You could consider moving your home a great way of freshening up your life, getting rid of old belongings, or just clearing up space.

Moving homes can be expensive. Removalists often charge you based on how many people are involved. This means that you could save money by letting some items go. To save space, empty your refrigerator and pantry before you leave.

Your move will be quicker if you have fewer things to move. While you’re going through your belongings, make sure to prepare your home for the removalists. Take note of any items that require special care during transport. You will be able to prepare a list for your move consultant so that you don’t miss anything.

If you’re moving to another area where you will need to find a new doctor, and have chosen to opt out of the My Health Record you should contact your current physician to transfer your records to your new practice.
