Moving over the holidays: coordinating the details
Holidays can bring moving dates, family commitments and service closures together. To manage the change in an organised way, build a schedule that includes tasks beyond transporting the furniture.
Coordinating everyone involved
Confirm who will hand over the keys, who will receive the furniture and whether any technicians need to attend. Check the times provided by the concierge and building management. One unscheduled appointment can alter the whole sequence.
Prepare a home you can use
Pack linen, essential kitchenware and everyday necessities in an identifiable box. Arrange utilities and any services you need in advance, checking times and appointments directly with the relevant providers.
Allowing for the unexpected
Where possible, avoid scheduling vacating, delivery and technical work in the same time slot. Consider storage when the properties are not available at the same time. Moving dates must be confirmed by the team.
Frequently asked questions
How should I choose a date over a bank holiday weekend?
Start with the availability of both properties and provide several possible time windows. Wait for confirmation of the arrangements before booking related appointments.
What should I keep with me during the move?
Documents, keys, personal belongings and anything you need in the first few hours, kept separate from the main load.
