Things to Do Before Your Move

It’s time to move out of your old

home and into the new one. It’s

supposed to be an exciting

process, so don’t let all the work

dull that enthusiasm. Now before

the moving day itself there are in

fact quite a number of things for

you to do. Read up on the

following list of things to do before

your move according to our

friendly home movers to avoid the

unwanted mishaps and mayhem

later on.

TO DO # 1: Update your address

and have your mail re-directed.

Get your postal address updated.

You would not want any of your

mails to get lost. Worse if they end

up in your old home, you risk

having someone open and steal

them divulging possible

confidential information such as

credit card numbers, phone details

and the like.

TO DO # 2: Inform your bank and

update your contact details with

them.

See to it that you give your bank a

call and inform them about your

change of address as well as your

new landline details. Like the

former this will aid from any mails

getting lost and it will also ensure

that the bank can contact you in

case of any emergencies.

TO DO # 3: Consume all your

perishables and grocery items.

Do not stuff your pantry and fill

your refrigerators. As much as

possible only keep food that you

are sure you will be able to

consume without excess. This is

so that you will not be packing all

your groceries with you and

bringing them along as well. You

can do your shopping in your new

place.

TO DO # 4: Change the locks of

your new home.

For safety reasons, change all

locks before you move in and start

bringing your stuff. You don’t know

for sure who else has a spare key

to the home. Even if the brokers or

sellers have assured you well, it’s

best to be safe than sorry. You do

not want risking your or your

family’s safety.

TO DO # 5: Be sure to have all

utilities in place.

Are your electricity, water, phone,

internet, cable and other utilities

running at the new place? Have

you cancelled the ones in your old

home? If your answer to both

questions is a no then you better

start working on this a.s.a.p. You

do not want to move in and have

no light at night or water to help

you clean up. Likewise you do not

want to keep paying for the utilities

at your previous place when you

are no longer using them.
