Complete House Shifting Checklist

Moving house involves a lot of small tasks. Working through them in order makes the process easier to manage and reduces last-minute stress.

Four to six weeks before

• Book your packers and movers and confirm a moving date.
• Sort belongings and decide what to keep, donate or discard.
• Start collecting packing materials for items you can pack early.

One to two weeks before

• Pack non-essential items room by room.
• Label boxes clearly with the room and a short description of contents.
• Set aside an essentials bag for the first day at your new home.

Moving day

• Do a final walkthrough to check cupboards, drawers and storage spaces.
• Confirm the inventory with your moving team before loading.
• Keep important documents and valuables with you rather than in the moving vehicle.
