Moving is hard and time-consuming, there's a lot to remember and get done. We can help you with your move in an efficient and inexpensive way that allows you to avoid stress and relax while we take care of the move. However, if you still want to move yourself, you can use our moving checklist!
- Budget for the move: Calculate the cost of hiring a removal van, hiring moving companies, buying moving boxes and other packing materials, as well as any other costs.
- Sort and clear out: Before you start packing, take time to sort through your things. Sell, donate or throw away things you no longer need or want to take with you.
- Packing: Pack room by room, and clearly label the boxes with which room they should go to in your new home. Also write down a brief description of what is in each box.
- Valuable and delicate items: Pack valuable and fragile items separately, and consider taking them with you yourself during the move to prevent damage or loss.
- Change of address: Notify the Swedish Tax Agency of your move and change your address with other relevant institutions and companies, such as your bank, insurance company and newspaper subscriptions.
- Cancelling services and contracts: Remember to cancel or transfer your services — internet, electricity, water and TV.
- Cleaning: Plan for cleaning of your old home. Many rental agreements require you to carry out thorough cleaning before you move out.
- Change of address notification: Remember to register your change of address so your post reaches the right place.
- Plan the moving day: Make sure you have a clear plan for moving day, including transport and help from friends or professional movers.
- Pack a first-night box: This should contain things you will need straight away when you arrive at your new home, such as toiletries, clothes for the next day, chargers, medicines and some kitchen utensils.
After the move or during the move, it is also a good idea:
Say hello to the neighbours: Introduce yourself to your new neighbours when you move in. It's always nice to know the people in your new area.
Explore your new area: Find out where the nearest supermarket, chemist, hospital and other important places are.
Good luck with the move!
We hope your move goes well!
