rhys • December 7, 2022

Our guide to moving into an apartment without stress, even in the best of circumstances, moving into an apartment, house, unit, or other property can be stressful. At the very least, you need to hire a removalist service, pre-pack, update your address, and declutter. We've put up this helpful guide to assist you in getting ready for your upcoming move into an apartment to make things simpler for you.

The good and bad

Let's start with the fundamentals: the dos and don'ts of apartment relocation.

1. The day you move

If you're renting, there's a good chance that you'll know exactly when your current lease expires. Don't put off looking for an apartment until the last possible moment. Give yourself at least two months to look for a new home and prepare to relocate. More time is always better! And reserve a removalist as soon as you know the date of your upcoming move.  

2. Measure and inspect

Measuring and inspecting the flat before you move in is one of the most crucial things you should do. Always check the place in person because pictures can be deceiving. You will have a precise idea of the room's size, amount of sunlight, and storage space. Also, don't be hesitant to bring a tape measure! You'll probably need to downsize and declutter if you're moving from a house to an apartment. Make sure to measure important regions, including the following: * Refrigerator room * The living room * Dining room * The bed Additionally, we advise you to ask the real estate for a floorplan with measurements.

3. Budget

Moving is expensive, and you'll probably incur a surprise expenditure. Start budgeting for expenses like bond, rent, utilities, and removalist services as soon as you decide to move into an apartment. If you need help creating a budget, click here for more information.

4. Organize and pack beforehand

One of the most crucial phases of moving into an apartment is this, particularly if you're downsizing. Since apartments are typically smaller than other types of houses, getting an early start on decluttering and minimising your possessions can make the moving process much simpler. Additionally, pre-packing items you know you won't use before your move (like seasonal apparel and bedding) might lessen the burden of your relocation.
