Checklist for 8 Weeks Before Moving Day

• Make a moving binder to put all the papers together.
• Search for different packers and movers.
• Select a moving company that caters to your needs.
• Prepare a floor plan for your new home and start planning on different ways of using the floor space and designing the rooms.
• Make an inventory list of all your household or office goods.
• Start decluttering your home.
• Sell, donate, or dispose of belongings in your home according to your needs.
• Arrange the documentation process for your children for their academic documentation.
• Prepare a list of people who are to be informed about the change of your address.

To have a successful relocation, it is always better to begin as early as possible. Most professional movers and packers in Dubai recommend starting your relocation efforts as early as eight weeks before moving day. By starting early, you can ensure that you will have ample time on your hand to do things if you face any untoward circumstances.

The reason why we suggest hiring your movers as early as eight weeks before your moving day is that, generally, people prefer to move on weekends and on holidays. If the moving company you wish to hire isn’t available on your moving day, then you will have to again search for another mover. To get the best dates of your choice, hire a mover well in advance.

Kingdom International Movers are one of the oldest movers in UAE we have experience in moving offices as well as residences. Even if you need to relocate your office and are searching for office movers and packers in Dubai, we will be the perfect choice for your office relocation.

• Get medical records from your health care provider and ask them for referrals in your new hometown.
• Get a valuation done of your valuable antiques and art pieces.

Once you start with your relocation journey, as the weeks pass by and the moving day comes nearer, you will have slightly increasing responsibilities. As you finish the responsibilities of the checklist made in the prior two weeks, you can proceed to do the things on your sixth-week checklist. You can call the movers and packers in Dubai that you have hired and consult them if you have any difficulties.
