The essentials to plan before moving

Moving takes preparation! To avoid stress and surprises, here are the key things to anticipate:

Declutter: keep only what you truly need to lighten the load and reduce costs. Handle administrative tasks: change of address, energy/internet contracts, insurance, vehicle registration… it’s best to get everything done in advance.Book the right services: movers, rental truck, elevator reservation… availability goes fast. Protect fragile items: strong boxes, bubble wrap, clear labels. Prepare a “first-day box”: essential items to avoid hassle when you arrive.Anticipate access logistics: parking, schedules, building rules — make sure everything is confirmed before moving day. Document the property condition: a few photos can protect you in case of disputes.
