Beyond packing, a move involves permissions, records and separate service arrangements.
Confirm access
Check keys, lift bookings, parking, mover timing and cleaning obligations at both addresses. Agree on insurance and exclusions. Keep medicines, valuables and private records with you.
Update accounts
Arrange final readings or closures and new utility connections where appropriate; usage and accounts do not transfer automatically. Redirect mail and update banks, insurers and deliveries through verified channels. Check that changes have taken effect and remove outdated access codes where needed. A written checklist makes these small but important tasks easier to track.
