How to Organize Your Move: Key Steps

The first rule for a smooth move is to start planning early. Begin by decluttering: Get rid of what you no longer need. Donate or recycle items that won’t be coming with you to your new home. This will lighten your load and simplify setting up your new space.

Next, choose a moving date. If possible, avoid peak periods, such as school holidays. Once the date is confirmed, quickly contact a professional moving company. Their expertise is invaluable for packing, transporting your belongings safely, and even disassembling furniture if needed.

It’s also essential to create a checklist of tasks to complete before, during, and after the move. This will help you stay on track and ensure that nothing important is overlooked.

Administrative Tasks When Moving to Another City or Province

Moving within Belgium also requires completing several administrative steps. You must notify your new municipality of your change of address within eight days of moving in. Be sure to inform your energy provider, internet service provider, bank, and health insurance provider of your new address as well.

Use Bpost’s redirection service to forward your mail and ensure that you receive all important correspondence. Lastly, review your home and car insurance policies to ensure they reflect your new address. These steps are just as important as the logistics of moving day itself.
