Congratulations on selling your home! Now, let’s tackle the move with grace and ease. With our essential checklist, you’ll be well-prepared to make this transition as smooth as possible.

1. Confirm Your Completion Date
Once contracts are exchanged, your completion date becomes your anchor. Highlight it and let it guide your planning efforts.

2. Book a Removal Company
Secure quotes and confirm your booking early. If you’re handling the packing, inquire about boxes and packing materials to stay ahead.

3. Declutter and Organise
Moving offers the perfect opportunity to shed items you no longer need. Donate, recycle, or dispose of them to simplify your packing.

4. Start Packing Early
Tackle non-essentials first. Clearly label boxes by room and note contents to make unpacking a breeze. Future you will be grateful!

5. Notify Utilities and Services
Inform your utility providers, internet supplier, and council tax office about your move. Remember to take final meter readings on moving day.

6. Redirect Post
Set up mail redirection with Royal Mail to ensure your important correspondence reaches your new address without a hitch.

7. Prepare an Essentials Box
Pack a box with day-one necessities—kettle, tea, toilet roll, chargers, snacks, and cleaning supplies. Keep it handy during the move.

8. Clean the Property
Leave your old home spotless for the new owners. It’s a courteous gesture and concludes your chapter positively.

9. Hand Over Keys
Once completion is confirmed, arrange for the keys to be handed over as agreed.

With this checklist, moving doesn’t have to be daunting. And remember, if you need assistance with selling or letting, we at Sawyer & Co are always here to lend a helping hand!
