Plan your house move from first decision to moving day
A move has several timelines running at once: the property transaction, packing, removals, utilities, address changes and the needs of everyone moving. Totally Moving brings the useful starting points together so you can build a plan before deciding whether you need the complete toolkit.
Start with one realistic plan
Begin with the date you are working towards, even if it is provisional. Record the tasks that depend on exchange, completion, a tenancy date or key collection separately from jobs you can do immediately.
Keep quotations, reference numbers, contact details and important dates together. A plan should reduce uncertainty, not pretend that every property transaction follows a fixed timetable.
Budget beyond the removal van
Your moving budget may include conveyancing, surveys, property tax, mortgage costs, removals, storage, cleaning, insurance, travel, childcare or pet care, utility changes and urgent work at the new home. Which costs apply depends on whether you are buying, selling or renting.
Allow a contingency and confirm professional quotations on scope as well as price. An online tool can organise estimates, but it cannot predict every property-specific cost.
Use the free moving tools
Create a starter checklist, estimate relevant purchase costs and read the detailed guides before saving anything. The free plan can then keep your core moving tasks and progress in one account without payment details.
If you need removals, surveying, conveyancing or another local service, search the public directory and check each provider's qualifications, insurance, scope and terms before appointment.
