Over the last few weeks you should have finished sorting your cupboards, loft, garage and cellar, and have thrown away, sold or donated anything you don't want. You should now start gathering packing materials, ready to start packing items you won't need in the next few weeks. Other tasks to do include:
- Arrange to do a final check and inventory of the new property for a few days before moving.
- Contact your gas, electricity and water companies and arrange for them to read meters and transfer your account to your new address.
- Start packing anything you won't need until after your move.
- Sort through your kitchen cupboards and start packing any equipment, tinned food, crockery and cutlery that you won't need before you go. Throw away or donate anything you don't want.
- Mow your lawns for the last time.
- Drain any fuel from garden equipment such as lawnmowers.
- Clean your barbeque, and ensure that all other outdoor equipment is clean enough to move.
- Take down any children's play equipment such as swings or climbing frames. Keep all the nuts, bolts and screws together in a plastic bag.
- Make a backup copy of any important data on your computer to a zip drive or a CD. Make sure you can read this backup data.
