There are many things you must remember to do before moving, even though it's easy to forget some of them! Here's our Moving Tips list of some of the things you'll need to remember to do before moving...

For your old home:

Utility Accounts - remember to advise your present utility service providers that you'll be moving out and arrange to have any meters read on the day of your move. If you're moving out of the area and cannot get service with the same provider you'll also need to discuss closing your account with them.

Postal Services - remember to set up a postal re-direction service so that any mail sent after you move with your old address on is forwarded to your new address.

Change of Address cards - remember to inform everybody that you need to of your new address. You should be able to pick up some cards at your post office, or to save you some time you could print some yourself.

Reserve elevators, parking spots etc - remember to reserve the elevators for use (if applicable) in your current building. You may have to do this with the building's management personnel. Also, if you have limited parking or restrictions you should find out about reserving a space or two for your moving truck.

Stop delivery services - remember to cancel any delivery services, such as newspapers and milk, by giving several weeks notice of the date you wish them to stop.

For your new home:

Utility Accounts - remember to set up new utility accounts at least several weeks in advance. If you haven't had an account with the provider before, they may ask for a security deposit and this might take time to organize. You want to make sure that everything's ready and connected for the day you move in.

Reserve elevators, parking spots etc - the same goes for moving in as moving out if you're moving to a condo or similar. Double check what the building rules are and whether you need to reserve the elevators or a parking space for your moving-in day.

Repairs, decorating and renovation - if your new house needs any of these things doing, and you have the opportunity to do so, arrange to have these things done before you move in. It's so much harder to decorate when you're surrounded in boxes and so much nicer to have the house just as you want it for the day you move in!
