Move day reminders
- ·
Take meter readings at both properties — photograph them and email them to yourself immediately.
- ·
Keep your essentials bag with you at all times — not in the van.
- ·
Do a slow, room-by-room final walkthrough before handing over the keys — check lofts, built-in storage, and outdoor spaces.
- ·
Photograph any marks or damage at the new property on arrival — before anything is moved in.
The Night Before
Pack your essentials bag the night before. Include toiletries, a change of clothes, phone charger, medication, important documents, and anything you need before the boxes are unpacked. Keep it with you, not in the van.
Be Kind To Yourself
Move day is tiring. The goal is arriving safely with your belongings and having what you need for the first night. Anything that can wait until tomorrow should wait until tomorrow.
