Three Weeks Before You Move

At three weeks to go, you'll hopefully have finished packing your cupboards and you are able to start packing any non essential belongings. If you're painting any rooms, its a good idea to try to do so in the next few days, so its all ready.  Also you will want to order or purchase any packing supplies you need.

You can start investigating schools in your new area and list any questions you may want to ask. While considering which is the best school in the area you will also have to consider how accessible it is and whether or not there's a school or public bus to take your children and if you need to pay for the transportation.

If you requested quotations they should be coming in now and you should have the moving companies make appointments to evaluate your belongings so they can decide what size of van you'll need and how many men are required for the move.

You should have chosen your new utility provider by now, and have any forms you need to filled out for your bank, so that there's no delays in changing your details to your new home. If you're letting, you should also have a lease by now, with details of what you are going to have to take care of on moving in.

Your Internet is also something you should start closing down, and let them know when you're moving.  If they have to come and pick up (or move) your equipment, now is a good time to arrange this. Internet service providers may have a minimum notice clause, so its good to make sure that you meet this, or you may be over billed, or fined.
