1:: First Things To Do
. As soon as you know your move date, book your Calabro Movers team
You can do this by calling 0424 069 894 or email ctstransport@hotmail.com
. Formally notify the landlord of your intention to vacate the premises
. Tell your new landlord your moving schedule
. Organise for a storage facility if you need one
2:: Preparing Your Stuff
. Create a list of items you no longer need or want
Give them to charity, friends and family or hold a garage sale. The less clutter
you have, the easier it will be to pack
. Order quality removals boxes and packing materials
(don't be tempted to use “free” boxes - they will break and the odd sizes make
Loading and unloading the removal truck very slow)
. Start packing
This is a long job. Allow at least 2 weeks. If you don't have time Calabro Movers
provide professional packers to do just part or the whole job for you
. Label all boxes with the room they belong in at the new place
. Write the contents of each box as you pack it
Write on top of the box to help you find an item later
. Create a special move day bag
Put in it your keys, prescriptions (anything you need easy access to)
. Dismantle larger furniture, or leave it for the moving professionals
Put all bolts, brackets, screws etc in a labelled and sealed bag, then stick it firmly
underside or in a drawer of the item they belong to
. Dismantle outdoor furniture - watch out for spiders
. Drain the oil and petrol in the lawn mower and other mechanical items
. Backup your computers hard drive
. Organise for rubbish removal service
A skip bin comes in handy while packing, to eliminate the bags of rubbish
. Drain and disassemble any water beds
. Take the remote garage door opener out of your car!
. Return any DVD's, games and or library books you may have out
. Use everything in the fridge before move day
Throw it out if it wont be used
. Defrost the freezer
3:: before The Move
. Get any critical repairs done to the house
. Book in a professional cleaner
. Organise a property inspection with the landlord after the cleaner
Required to regain any bond owed to you
. Get your home and contents or car insurance reviewed
. Get your pets records from the vet
Including medical history and immunisation certificates
. Give your pet a familiar toy during the move to reduce stress
. Book an elevator in our unit to use on the move day
. Organise house settlement times and changeover of keys
. Settle outstanding bills with any of the utility companies you use
Pay TV, Electricity, Gas, Internet, Water, Security, Phone
. Arrange to have sufficient money in the bank to cover the move
. Arrange to have your telephone, internet, pay TV, gas, electricity
disconnected and reconnected at the new place
4:: Move Day (REMEMBER)
. If all loose items are packed and the floors are clean your removalist can work much
More efficiently
. Keep a kettle, tea bags, coffee, milk and sugar unpacked
. Check all the cupboards before you leave
. Lock all the doors and windows as you leave
. Check the back of the moving truck before the moving professionals leave
5:: After Move Day
. Notify utility companies of your change in address
. Notify friends and family of your new address, telephone number etc
. Start unpacking
. Order a pizza for dinner for all your hard work
. Hold a house warming party
