Ultimate Moving House Checklist for a Stress-Free North East Relocation

Moving house can be exciting, but it’s no secret that it’s also one of the most stressful life events. Whether you’re relocating across Newcastle, settling down in Durham, or making a fresh start in Darlington, having the ultimate moving house checklist can make all the difference to your experience. At Nabosh Removals, we understand the challenges of moving and have designed this comprehensive checklist to help North East homeowners manage their move smoothly and stress-free.

What is the Ultimate Moving House Checklist?

The ultimate moving house checklist is your go-to guide to organise every step of your move. It covers everything from booking your removals company to unpacking in your new home. With clear timelines and actionable tips, this checklist helps you stay on top of the process and avoid last-minute stress.

6 Weeks Before Moving Day: Start Your Ultimate Moving House Checklist

  • Book your removal company: Secure your moving date early with trusted local movers like Nabosh Removals, serving Newcastle, Durham, Darlington, and the wider North East.
  • Declutter your home: Sort through your belongings and decide what to keep, donate, sell, or recycle. This reduces moving volume and eases unpacking later.
  • Create an inventory: Write down large furniture, valuable items, and electronics to keep track of everything.
  • Notify your landlord: If renting, provide official notice as required.

4 Weeks Before Moving Day: Progress Your Ultimate Moving House Checklist

  • Begin packing non-essentials: Pack books, seasonal clothes, and spare crockery. Clearly label boxes by room and content.
  • Arrange storage if needed: Nabosh Removals offers flexible storage options if you can’t move everything at once.
  • Update your address: Contact banks, insurance companies, and your workplace HR to update your details.
  • Check school and healthcare registrations: Especially important if moving to another town like Darlington or Stockton-on-Tees.

2 Weeks Before Moving Day: Finalize Your Ultimate Moving House Checklist

  • Confirm removal details: Reconfirm times, access instructions, and any special requirements with your moving company.
  • Pack valuables separately: Keep passports, documents, jewellery, and chargers in a secure, easy-to-access place.
  • Arrange pet or child care: Moving day can be hectic, so arrange care to keep your loved ones comfortable.
  • Deep clean your home: Leave your old home spotless for the next occupants or landlord.

Moving Week: Last Steps on Your Ultimate Moving House Checklist

  • Defrost fridge and freezer: Do this 24 to 48 hours before your move.
  • Pack an essentials box: Include tea, kettle, snacks, toiletries, tools, and bedding to get you through your first day.
  • Take final meter readings: Record gas, electricity, and water readings, then notify the utility companies.
  • Secure keys and documents: Keep your new house keys and ID handy for a smooth check-in.

Moving Day: Using Your Ultimate Moving House Checklist

  • Leave a note for new owners: A kind gesture if you wish.
  • Final walkthrough: Check every room, cupboard, and storage area in your old home.
  • Guide your removals team: Ensure the team knows where to place boxes and furniture in your new home.
  • Celebrate your first moments: Enjoy your first cup of tea in your new home—your hard work has paid off!
