Moving Checklist: a week-by-week plan for your move
Choose your moving date and get a checklist split into 8 weeks before, 4 weeks, 2 weeks, 1 week, moving day and after the move. Your progress is saved automatically in this browser.
Why plan in stages
Most moving stress comes from tasks that were left too late: a van that is fully booked, a utility transfer that takes ten working days, or a landlord notice period you forgot. Working backwards from your moving date puts each job in the window where it is easiest.
What each stage is for
- 8 weeks: decisions and bookings, such as budget, mover, vehicle and decluttering.
- 4 weeks: gathering supplies and giving notices.
- 2 weeks: notifying utilities and changing your address.
- 1 week: confirmations and the essentials box.
- Moving day and after: handover, checks at the new home and settling in.
Your checks and custom tasks stay on this device only. Clearing your browser data removes them, so print the list if you want a copy.
Frequently asked questions
Is my progress saved?
Yes, automatically in your browser's localStorage. It is not sent to a server.
Can I add my own tasks?
Yes. Type a task, choose a section and press Add task.
What if I have less than 8 weeks?
Start with the closest stage and work through the earlier ones as quickly as you can. Moving company and utility tasks are the most urgent.
