Frequently asked questions

What is a moving checklist?

A moving checklist is an overview of everything you need to arrange around your move. This includes ending your lease, arranging moving help, energy, internet, address changes, insurance, meter readings, the home handover, and actions after the move.

When should I create a moving checklist?

Create your moving checklist as soon as you know you are moving. The earlier you start, the easier it is to schedule everything on time. It is useful to check actions such as moving help, energy, internet, and ending your lease well before moving day.

Why use a personal moving checklist?

No two moves are the same. A personal checklist considers your situation, such as whether you rent or own, are moving to another municipality, need help, or receive housing allowance. This means you only see actions that are relevant to you.

Which steps are included in a moving plan?

The moving plan includes steps for each phase: preparation, internet and energy, address and insurance, moving week, and actions after the move. This clearly shows what comes first and what can wait.

What should I arrange first when moving?

Start with your moving date, rental or purchase arrangements, ending your lease, and moving help. Then arrange internet, energy, your municipal address change, insurance, and mail. Finish with meter readings, the handover, any housing allowance changes, and the post-move checklist.

Can I update my moving checklist later?

Yes. Your situation can change during the move. Update your checklist if your moving date, new address, living situation, or schedule changes.
