Here are some key steps you can take to prepare for your house removal:

• Declutter thoroughly to get rid of any unwanted items – you can sell on online marketplaces or take items to your local charity shops

• Start packing early so that you minimise the stress on moving day

• Clearly label all your boxes with a description of their contents and the room they belong to

• Keep essential items separate in a bag or box so you have easy access to them, e.g. toiletries, medications, chargers, and important documents

• Arrange for childcare or pet care so that your children and/or pets are looked after on moving day to minimise distractions

• Take meter readings for gas, electricity, and water before you leave

• Inform relevant parties of your address change, such as your bank and utility companies

• Defrost your freezer in advance so that it’s ready for moving day

• Clean your old property thoroughly before you leave - or hire a professional cleaning company to do it for you

The earlier you start planning your move the smoother it will make the whole process and the easier it will be on moving day.

Moving house will involve transporting all your belongings to your new home, so you’ll want to make sure everything is covered with the right insurance.

When hiring a house removal company, make sure they have:

• Goods in Transit Insurance – This covers your belongings against accidental damage, loss, or theft when being loaded, transported, and unloaded

• Public Liability Insurance – This protects the removal company against any claims of injury or property damage that may occur during the move

But don't just rely on the removal company's insurance. In addition to checking your removal company’s insurance, it’s often a good idea to supplement their coverage with your own home insurance policy.
