A Smooth Moving Process: Part 2

May 13, 2013 By Ariette

Moving in CalgaryIn part one of our tips for a Smooth Moving Process, you learned how to manage your household details and sort through your packing. There are just a few more steps to take to help ensure your journey to your new home is as easy as possible.

Follow the below checklists to finish covering all your bases and you are almost guaranteed a smooth, trouble free move.

 Community

  • Return all library books.
  • Clean out your locker at any club you are leaving.
  • Determine how to transfer your children to a new school, if required.
  • Return items you’ve borrowed to friends, and collect any you’ve lent.
  • Mail or e-mail change of address notices to family members, friends, and office contacts.

Records

  • If needed, transfer medical and dental records, and fill prescriptions.
  • Change the address on your driver’s license.
  • As well, change the billing address for credit cards.
  • And, change the address for banking statements, even if you only receive online statements.
  • Leave a record of security codes for new tenants.

Insurance and Legal Matters

  • Visit your lawyer and ensure all documents are signed.
  • Notify your insurance company well in advance of the move and ask them to review your policy.
  • Transfer insurance to your new home, or acquire new insurance.
  • Review your moving company’s insurance policy.  If it doesn’t cover as much as you’d like it to, obtain your own.
  • Give written notice to the landlord, if you are currently renting a house or apartment. Check your contract on your due date!
  • Have all keys to your old home delivered to your lawyer or Realtor.

By completing the checklists outlined in both parts one and two, you are sure to have a much smoother move and an easy welcome into your new home!
