Moving Preparations – 1 Week Prior To Move
The moving preparations that you need to make 1 week prior
to move include separating the items that you want to take with you and
those you want the movers to take. Carry valuables like jewelry and
important documents with you.
Make sure that the agent of the
moving company has your new
address and telephone number. Provide a telephone number where you can be
reached before you move into your new home. Find out about how the home
movers will accept payment. In most cases you will be expected to pay in
cash at the time of delivery.

Find out about the insurance coverage provided by the
moving and storage company, and get additional coverage if required.
Confirm travel bookings for the family, and pack your
suitcases. Set aside the items that you will need while your possessions
are in transit and pack your suitcases.
Paste labels on the moving boxes and clearly mention the
contents and room for which each box is meant. Keep all the items that you
will need on the first night in your new home in one box. Mention clearly
on each box if it contains fragile items, is to be loaded last, or is not
to be loaded.
Return all the items that you have borrowed and collect
items that you have lent to others. Pay the outstanding bills of local
vendors.
Defrost your refrigerator at least 24 hours before you move
and clean it out. Disconnect all appliances and clean them. Get a
technician to prepare them for moving.
Check the home to make sure that nothing has been
overlooked. Carry out any minor repairs that are needed, and mow the lawn
one last time. If your home will not be occupied for some time, notify the
police.
Collect the keys, alarm codes, and garage remote and keep
them in one place so you can hand them over before you leave.
