This phase is all about organisation and action. With a clear structure you can keep track of every task – from address changes to your first round of packing.
Getting down to business: 2 months before your move
What you should take care of 2 months before
Update contracts & addresses
Switch your bank, insurance, subscriptions and important services to the new address. Review and update standing orders.
Children, pets & care
Register at the new school or kindergarten, deregister from the old one, and update your pets' registered address.
Mail forwarding & logistics
Set up a mail forwarding order with the post office and plan a no-parking zone for moving day.
Secure important documents
Copy or digitally back up documents and keep them collected in an easily accessible place.
Get packing supplies
Organise boxes, bubble wrap, tape and markers. Make sure you have enough materials.
Declutter & start packing
Clear out wardrobes, the basement and the attic, sort through belongings and start packing and labelling the first boxes.
Notify neighbours & building management
Put up a notice in the building and inform all relevant parties about the move well in advance.
