Moving house is widely regarded as one of life’s most demanding milestones. Breaking down your tasks into an 8-week structured roadmap ensures nothing gets overlooked between exchange and completion.
Week 8: Declutter & Request Early Removal Quotes
Begin by sorting room by room. Categorise items into keep, donate, sell, or clear. Booking a survey with a reputable removal company like Jimmys Removals 8 weeks in advance gives you accurate cubic footage assessments and lock-in rates.
Week 6: School Transfers & Packing Materials
Notify schools, doctors, and dentists. Order double-walled removal boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, and wardrobe cartons so you can begin packing seasonal clothing and seldom-used loft items.
Week 4: Exchange of Contracts & Parking Permits
Once exchange occurs, your completion date is legally binding. Apply to Birmingham City Council or your local authority for removal van parking bay suspensions or resident dispenser dispensations.
Week 2: Utilities & Change of Address
Contact broadband providers, energy suppliers, water companies, and council tax departments. Arrange Royal Mail postal redirection to protect your identity.
Moving Week: Essentials Box & Completion Day
Pack an essentials survival box: kettle, mugs, tea, phone chargers, toiletries, important legal documents, and children's essentials. Your Jimmys Removals crew arrives promptly on move day to load, transit, and position your furniture in your new home.
