Four weeks out
Confirm your moving date and book transport early — Fridays and month-end weekends go first. Start decluttering now, because every item you do not take is time and money saved.
- Book your van and confirm the date in writing by text
- Order boxes, tape and bubble wrap
- Start a keep / donate / dispose pile in each room
- Notify your landlord or complete conveyancing steps
Two weeks out
This is the point to sort the Liverpool-specific admin. If either address is on a permit street or in the city centre, check loading restrictions and whether a bay can be reserved.
- Check parking and loading restrictions at both addresses
- Arrange lift booking if you are in an apartment block
- Set up mail redirection and update utilities
- Pack everything you will not need in the final fortnight
Move week
Label boxes by room, not by contents — it makes unloading dramatically faster. Keep a single essentials box with kettle, chargers, medication and bedding, and load it last so it comes off first.
- Dismantle beds and flat-pack items the night before
- Confirm arrival time and access details with your driver
- Take meter readings and photos of the empty property
- Keep valuables and documents with you, not in the van
