Tips for experienced movers: a schedule for the month before moving

by | 2026. 09. 08. | Moving, Tips

Anyone who has moved many times knows that only a scheduled plan prevents a last-minute rush. A short reminder of deadlines, notifications, boxes and last-day tasks, from the month before the move to moving day.

What to arrange a month before the move?

It is worth starting to report your change of address a month before the move: local council, tax office, social security, GP, bank, insurer, school or kindergarten. You will find the full list and deadlines in our change of address after moving cikkben találja. Ugyanekkor érdemes elkezdeni a válogatást: ami nem jön az új lakásba, az ne kerüljön dobozba.

What to arrange 2–3 weeks before?

Rendezze az utolsó számláit, és jelentse be a lakcímváltozást a közműveknél és a szolgáltatóknál: víz, villany, gáz, telefon, internet, tévé. 1–2 héttel a költözés előtt válassza ki a költöztetőt, és egyeztesse az időpontot; hónap végére és hétvégére ennél korábban érdemes foglalni, de rövidebb határidővel is lehetséges.

How to pack if you do it yourself?

Fill the box so that, when stacked, the bottom box and its contents don't get crushed. Wrap fragile items one by one with plenty of paper, and mark and set aside the box. Always use the smallest box for heavy items (books, folders). Write the contents and the destination room on every box – it makes unpacking in the new flat easier too.

What to do the day before the move?

  • Különítse el a törékeny tárgyakat tartalmazó dobozokat.
  • Reserve a space for the truck as close to the building entrance as possible; in a paid parking zone, agree on parking and the entry permit with the mover.
  • Ask the building manager or the building operator for permission to use the lift.
  • Ne öntözze a virágokat.
  • Húzza ki a konnektorból az elektronikai eszközöket (tévé, hifi, számítógép).
  • Keep documents, keys, medicines and valuables in a separate bag that stays with you.

What to tell the movers on moving day?

Show the movers around, tell them your requests, and point out problem furniture: a damaged part, a loose table leg, a cracked mirror. That way they can prepare and carry out the move as carefully as possible. For a morning start we give a fixed time and keep to it; for jobs later in the day we confirm by phone about an hour before arrival.

Frequently asked questions for experienced movers

It is advisable to start reporting it a month before the move: to the local council, the tax authority (NAV), social security, your GP, your bank, your insurer and the school or nursery.

For books and files, choose the smallest 40 x 40 x 40 cm box so that the packed box remains liftable.
