Know what needs doing at each stage of your move
Moving involves dozens of jobs that need to happen at different times. The 8-Week Moving Checklist puts them into a practical sequence, helping you begin early and keep the final weeks from becoming unnecessarily rushed.
Work through 90 tasks from eight weeks before moving day through to your first week in the new home.
What the checklist covers
Eight to four weeks before moving
Research removalists, prepare a moving budget, begin sorting and packing, organise important records and make arrangements for schools, childcare, pets or long-distance travel.
Two weeks before moving
Update addresses, arrange utilities, prepare essential prescriptions, return borrowed items and finalise practical arrangements for children, pets and moving-day access.
The week of the move
Complete the final clean, confirm the movers, prepare your essentials box and check every cupboard, drawer and storage area before leaving.
Moving day
Keep valuables and essentials close, protect the property, set up the beds and bathroom, and prepare for a comfortable first night.
Your first week after moving
Check belongings for damage, update home security, deal with unwanted packing supplies and begin settling into your new home.

This was everything we needed to have a countdown on when we’re moving. Thank you for this it’s a perfect countdown

Very thoughtful ideas. Brought together a list of important tasks that didn’t come to mind when I was preparing for my big move, i.e. plan a walk-thru with landlord before locking the home up. Thank you! We actually did just that!
