Pre-Moving Tips for Customers
Book Your Move in Advance
Arrange your moving date as early as possible, especially if you are working around a settlement date, lease end date, office relocation or another fixed deadline.
Plan Access and Parking
Check the access at both properties before moving day. Think about driveways, stairs, lifts, narrow entrances and where the moving vehicle can safely park.
Moving Preparation Guide
Start Packing Early
Begin with items you do not use every day. Pack similar belongings together and use suitable boxes and protective materials for fragile items.
Prepare Your Furniture
Empty drawers and cabinets before moving. If furniture needs to be disassembled, keep screws and small parts together in a clearly labelled bag.
Label Your Boxes
Clearly label boxes with their contents and destination room. Keep fragile items clearly identified so they can be handled appropriately.
Measure Large Items
Measure large furniture and check doorways, stairways, lifts and other access points at the new property before moving day.
Keep Important Items Separate
Keep documents, keys, medication, chargers, valuables and other essential items where you can access them easily during the move.
Prepare for Moving Day
Clear walkways, secure loose items and make sure the team can access the rooms and items that need to be moved. Good preparation can help the move run more smoothly.
