Moving checklist fase 1:As soon as you know when you're moving
Moving is a challenging task that can place an extra burden on top of daily responsibilities like work, socializing, and family. Adding this major task to a busy schedule can leave you feeling overwhelmed. However, there are ways to ease the pressure of moving, such as a moving checklist!
Be mindful of the notice period for terminating your lease or put your house up for sale well in advance.
Check if you are eligible for rent subsidy. Read the conditions and legislation regarding rent subsidy and apply for it as soon as possible.
Pay close attention when arranging a new lease contract. Read the contract carefully, including the fine print. This also applies to arranging a mortgage.
Make sure you always have the address and postcode of your new home at hand.
You can cancel your subscriptions for internet, phone, and television and switch to another provider. If your current packages can also be delivered to the new address, you can take the subscriptions with you to your new home. Contact your provider(s) for more information.
Request leave in advance so you can focus on the move. Don't underestimate it and take the time for your move.
Whether you are entitled to relocation compensation depends on your personal situation. You can find more information about this on the internet or you can contact the government information line (Call Government Information: 1400).
A distinction is made between deductible costs for a business and for a private individual. Look up on the internet which moving costs are deductible.
Cancel your subscriptions on time. Think about newspapers, magazines, or the gym. Make sure you always have proof of cancellation. Also, it's important to inform the cleaner and window cleaner that you are moving.
Take measurements of all rooms so you can start planning the layout of your new home well in advance.
You can rent a moving lift through the furniture taxi. We specialize in transporting large furniture and are happy to help!
The last point of the moving checklist phase 1 is to fill in and submit your details via the reservation form, or you can contact us by phone. Based on your information, we will estimate whether everything can be transported in one trip and how much time we will need for this.
