2 - 3 Weeks Prior to Move
- Check back in with your Homecrete Consultant to review your walk-through and closing dates and times.
- There are a number of services that you will need to transfer. Some of those services are non-transferable and must be disconnected then reconnected. Regardless, here are some services that you may start looking into: newspaper delivery, cable, electric, fuel, gas, telephone, water, garbage collection, storage facilities, lawn maintenance, pool maintenance, housecleaning services, internet services and health clubs.
- Determine what you'll be taking with you on moving day - such as important or irreplaceable items, toys/games for kids, snacks and a first aid kit.
- Confirm delivery dates with movers.
- If necessary, schedule to have your car serviced for the trip.
- Make sure all of your dry cleaning has been picked up, return any books that belong to the library and collect or return any items on loan.
- Contact your new city's Department of Motor Vehicles to determine driver's license requirements, and transfer plates and/or registration on your vehicles.
- Select a bank in your new city - transfer existing and/or set up new accounts, and obtain a safety deposit box if needed.
