1. Plan ahead
The key to a successful move is planning. Start planning your move at least two months in advance. Here are some essential steps to follow:
– Take inventory: Go through all your belongings and decide what you want to keep, sell, give away or throw away.
– Booking movers: If you’re using a removal company, book them as early as possible, especially if you’re moving during the high season (June to September).
– Prepare boxes and supplies: Buy or collect cardboard boxes, bubble wrap, tape and markers to pack your belongings.
2. Pack smart
Packing is a crucial step in the moving process. Here are a few tips for efficient packing:
– Start early: Don’t wait until the last minute to start packing. Start by packing items you don’t use very often.
– Label your boxes: Make a note of the contents and destination room on each box to make unpacking easier.
– Protect fragile objects: Use bubble wrap or towels to wrap fragile objects.
3. Call in the professionals
Although moving yourself may seem economical, calling in the professionals can save you time and hassle. Experienced movers know how to handle your belongings with care, and can help you avoid injuries associated with heavy lifting.

– School and health: If you have children, register them at their new school. Also transfer your medical records if necessary.
5. Get ready for moving day
The big day can be hectic, so here are a few tips for staying organized:
– Prepare a box of essentials: Include toiletries, a change of clothes, snacks and anything else you might need immediately upon arrival.
– Be available: Make sure you’re on hand to answer the movers’ questions and supervise the process.
– Take a final look around: Before you leave your old home, take a final look around to make sure nothing has been forgotten.
