Preparing your home for a move is just as important as packing your belongings. A well-organized home before moving day can save time, reduce stress, and make the entire relocation smoother.
At AllCare Removalists Perth, we believe that preparation is the key to a successful and stress-free move. Follow this step-by-step guide to ensure your home is ready for moving day.
1. Start Decluttering Early
Moving is the perfect time to get rid of unwanted items. Decluttering helps you:
✔ Reduce moving costs – Fewer items mean lower transport costs.
✔ Save time packing & unpacking – Only move what you truly need.
✔ Make your new home clutter-free from day one.
📦 What to do:
📌 Donate clothes, books, and furniture to local charities.
📌 Sell unwanted items on Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree.
📌 Recycle or discard broken, expired, or unnecessary items.
💡 Pro Tip: Start decluttering at least a month before your move to avoid last-minute stress!
2. Create a Moving Inventory
Having an inventory keeps your move organized and ensures nothing gets lost.
📑 How to create one:
✔ List all major furniture and appliances that will be moved.
✔ Take photos of valuable items for insurance purposes.
✔ Label boxes clearly and keep track of what’s inside each one.
📌 Pro Tip: Use a moving app like Sortly or Moving Organizer to keep track of your belongings digitally!
3. Notify Service Providers & Change Address
To avoid service disruptions or lost mail, update your address and inform relevant companies at least 2 weeks before moving day.
📞 Who to notify:
✔ Utility companies – Electricity, gas, water, and internet providers.
✔ Postal services – Redirect mail to your new address.
✔ Banks & insurance providers – Update your personal records.
✔ Subscriptions – Magazines, meal deliveries, and streaming services.
💡 Pro Tip: Set up utilities before moving in to ensure your new home has power, water, and internet on day one!
4. Pack Smart & Efficiently
Packing properly and strategically makes a huge difference in how smoothly your move goes.
📦 Essential packing tips:
✔ Pack room by room – This keeps things organized.
✔ Use high-quality boxes & packing materials – Prevents damage to valuables.
✔ Label everything clearly – Write the room name and contents on each box.
✔ Keep an "essentials box" – Pack toiletries, chargers, snacks, and important documents separately.
📌 Pro Tip: AllCare Removalists Perth offers professional packing services to save you time and effort!
5. Prepare Your Home for Moving Day
Ensuring your home is ready for movers will speed up the process and prevent unnecessary delays.
🏠 How to prepare:
✔ Disassemble large furniture – Beds, tables, and shelving units should be taken apart in advance.
✔ Protect floors and walls – Use blankets or cardboard to prevent scratches.
✔ Ensure easy access – Clear pathways for movers and reserve parking for the moving truck.
💡 Pro Tip: Take photos of your current home for reference—especially if you’re renting and need to get your bond deposit back!
6. Arrange for Pets & Children on Moving Day
Moving can be chaotic for pets and young children. Keeping them safe and occupied makes moving day smoother.
🐾 For Pets:
✔ Keep them in a quiet room away from the moving chaos.
✔ Transport them in secure carriers with food, water, and toys.
✔ Update their microchip and tags with your new address.
👶 For Children:
✔ Arrange for babysitting or childcare during the move.
✔ Pack a kids' essentials bag with snacks, toys, and entertainment.
✔ Set up their new room first so they feel comfortable.
📌 Pro Tip: If your pet is anxious, visit the new home before moving day to help them adjust!
7. Do a Final Walkthrough
Before leaving your old home, do one last check to ensure everything is in order.
📋 Final walkthrough checklist:
✔ Check all rooms, closets, and storage areas for forgotten items.
✔ Turn off appliances and switch off utilities if necessary.
✔ Lock windows and doors before handing over the keys.
