Relocating to a new home or city is both exciting and overwhelming. Whether you’re moving across town or to a new state, there’s a lot to coordinate—packing, paperwork, logistics, and setting up your new space. Without a clear plan, moving can quickly become chaotic. That’s why we’ve created this ultimate moving checklist to help you stay organized, stress-free, and ready for a smooth transition.

At Bhoomi Realty Solutions, we don’t just help you find the perfect home—we support you through the entire relocation process. Here’s everything you need to know before, during, and after your move.

1. 4-6 Weeks Before Moving: Plan Ahead

 Create a Moving Folder
Start with a dedicated file—digital or physical—for your moving documents, receipts, checklists, and contacts.

 Give Notice (If Renting)
Inform your landlord in writing and check the terms of your lease for notice periods and deposit return rules.

 Hire a Moving Company
Get quotes from 2-3 reputable movers. Compare rates, services, insurance, and reviews. Book early for the best availability.

 Sort & Declutter
Go room by room and decide what to keep, donate, sell, or toss. This reduces moving costs and saves space in your new home.

 Take Inventory
Make a list of major items and valuables for reference and insurance.

 Notify Schools and Employers
If you have children, start the transfer process with their current and new schools. Let your HR department know if your employer is assisting with the move.

2. 3 Weeks Before Moving: Begin Packing

 Gather Supplies
Boxes, tape, bubble wrap, labels, markers, and scissors are must-haves. Consider wardrobe boxes for clothes and special boxes for electronics.

 Start Packing Non-Essentials
Begin with seasonal items, books, decor, and rarely used kitchenware. Label each box by room and contents.

 Arrange Utilities Disconnection
Schedule disconnection dates for electricity, gas, internet, DTH, and water at your current residence.

 Update Address
Notify banks, insurance companies, subscription services, and government IDs about your new address.

 Plan for Pets and Plants
Research pet transport if needed. Arrange safe containers or plan for transporting houseplants.

3. 1 Week Before Moving: Final Preparations

 Pack Essentials Separately
Create a “first night” box with toiletries, clothes, medications, phone chargers, snacks, documents, and basic kitchen items.

 Confirm Details with Movers
Reconfirm the date, time, address, and list of items with your moving company. Share directions and contact info clearly.

 Clean Your Current Home
Whether you’re handing over to a landlord or a new owner, leave your current space clean and ready. Take photos of the final condition for reference.

 Label Fragile Items Clearly
Ensure fragile boxes are marked and items are packed securely to avoid damage during transport.

4. Moving Day: Stay Calm and Organized

 Supervise the Move
Guide the movers, ensure proper handling, and check off items from your inventory list as they’re loaded.

 Do a Final Walkthrough
Check every room, closet, and drawer to make sure nothing is left behind.

 Hand Over Keys/Access Cards
If required, return keys to your landlord or building security.

 Take Meter Readings
Note electricity, gas, and water readings before leaving.

5. After the Move: Settle In Smoothly

 Unpack Essentials First
Focus on the bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom to get through the first day comfortably.

 Check Utilities and Services
Ensure water, electricity, Wi-Fi, and gas are working. Schedule installations if needed.

 Inspect for Damages
Open boxes and inspect your items. If anything is damaged, contact the moving company immediately.

 Register with Local Services
If you’ve moved to a new city, register with local doctors, service providers, and community groups.

 Explore Your New Neighborhood
Get to know your local grocery stores, restaurants, parks, and public transport options. A neighborhood walk can help you feel settled faster.
