How to prepare for an international move

Moving to another country is a big step, and good preparation saves both time and money. Here are a few tips to help everything go smoothly.

Make a list of your belongings

Go through your home room by room and note what you are moving: furniture, appliances, number of boxes. The list helps choose the right vehicle and makes the quote accurate. Photos of larger items are very useful.

Decide what to take

A move is a chance to get rid of things you no longer need. Fewer items mean a simpler and cheaper move.

Check paperwork in good time

Rules for moving personal belongings differ from country to country. Find out early which documents are needed so the transport is not held up at the border.

Pack smart

Use sturdy boxes, wrap fragile items and label boxes by room in your new home. Empty drawers and wardrobes and dismantle furniture that is hard to carry.

Agree on the date and access

Check parking and vehicle access at both addresses, the floor and the lift. The more information you send in advance, the better the move can be planned.
