Planning your move
The timeline, your change of address and July 1.
A simple timeline to arrive calmly on moving day.
- Several weeks before
Sort and give away what you no longer use, buy boxes, book movers or a truck. Around July 1, rates can double: book early.
- Until departure
Pack and label boxes, remove items excluded from the sale, such as light fixtures or curtains, clean up.
- A few days before
Change your address, transfer your services, empty the fridge.
- Moving day
Keep documents, medication and clothing with you; hand over keys, remotes and manuals.
- Afterwards
Notify your insurer and keep a copy of all sale documents.
