Moving can feel overwhelming, but having a clear checklist keeps everything organized and stress-free. Here’s the ultimate We Move You moving list to make sure nothing gets missed before the big day.
1. Confirm Your Moving Date
Lock in your settlement or handover date early so you can plan backwards with confidence.
2. Finalise What’s Going With You
Go room by room and decide what’s staying and what’s going.
3. Deal With Residual Items
-
Sell: List items online early, price them to move, and ensure pickup before moving day.
-
Gift: Offer useful items to friends, family, or community groups at least 1 day before.
-
Tip: Book a refuse trip in advance and look into centres with reuse shops to reduce cost.
4. Get Quotes From Multiple Moving Companies
Contact at least 3 companies. Arrange a walkthrough where they can take notes/photos — this ensures accurate quotes.
5. Buy Supplies
Boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, paper, rubbish bags, labels, and markers.
6. Pack Smart
Start early with non-essentials, clearly label boxes, and keep fragile items separate.
7. Prepare the House for Movers
Stack boxes neatly, clear hallways, and keep access paths safe and open.
8. Moving Day!
Do a final check of all rooms, turn off power/water if required, and keep your essentials bag with you.
