- Confirm your moving arrangements with the removal firm
- Clearly label any items you are leaving behind and remove any fixed objects that are not included in your sale
- Make sure that all storage places have been emptied (including your loft and garden shed, if applicable) and all items not needed within the next week are packed and labelled
- Make up a toolkit containing screwdrivers, pliers, knives, hammers, hooks, fuses, and so on, and keep it handy for your move
- Pack an essentials box with things that you will need for the first few nights such as toiletries, create one for each family member to include their essentials. Keep this with you during the move so you don’t spend ages looking for it at the end of a long day moving
- If your movers are not providing a full-service move, start to dissemble non-essential furniture
- Plan the journey between your old and new home and make sure that everyone knows the way, plus any special instructions such as parking
- If you are leaving an existing property, leave a note for the new owners explaining how things work and leave out any instruction manuals
