Moving Day Things To Do The day is finally here and it’s time to move into your new place! Here are some of the most important things to do both at your old home and your new one. 1. LET LYNN MOVING AND STORAGE TAKE THE STRAIN 2. Make sure all windows and doors are locked and secured and make a note of all meter readings. 3. Take photos of the empty rooms to serve as proof for the condition the property was in when you moved out. 4. Don’t forget your moving bag with your essentials. 5. Check all cupboard and draws that are staying, are empty. 6. Do a final sweep of the house, garage, shed to make sure all your items, our movers are taking, have been loaded. 7. After you’ve moved into your new place, make sure to return the keys to your old property to the relevant party, check to see if your utilities are working, and make sure to check your moving van for anything that’s not been unpacked.
