Preparation
The complete moving checklist.
A successful move takes preparation. Here are the key steps, from two months ahead to moving day, as recommended by our crews.
Two months before
- Book a free visit and quote: the volume, access and the services you choose determine the price.
- Sort things out: what doesn’t move doesn’t need to be packed, transported or paid for.
- If your dates don’t line up, plan furniture storage between the two homes.
One month before
- Confirm the quote and pay the deposit: your date is then booked.
- Apply for a parking permit from the municipality, at both departure and arrival.
- Receive your packing materials and start with what you don’t use every day: books, decoration, seasonal clothes.
Two weeks before
- Notify your energy and internet providers, your bank, your insurers, your employer and the school.
- In Belgium, you register your change of address with your new municipality within 8 working days of moving.
- Empty and defrost the freezer one or two days before.
Moving day
- Keep a separate bag with documents, keys, chargers, medication and essentials for the first night.
- Be there at departure and arrival to show where each piece of furniture goes.
- Take the meter readings in both homes.
The person in charge of your file will have confirmed the crew’s arrival time no later than two days before. Our crews take care of the rest.
