The thought of moving to a new place is exhausting itself. No matter where you’re moving, be it the room next to yours, across the building or to another state, it requires a lot of planning. The tiredness adds up even more when you have family members with you. With family, the responsibility is high. When you already have a lot going on and your plate is already full, you can’t make the mistake of leaving anything for the last minute. You need a checklist of all your belongings and that’s where Interstate Removalists come into picture.

Our team at South West Removals & Storage in Perth can ease this process for you. You can get in touch with us and we will assist you from beginning till the end. Here’s a comprehensive guide for you to help in your Interstate Removal process. 

Three basic points to consider before you move out

  1. Perform a thorough research: Before moving to a new place research about the climate conditions, cost of living, transportation, education, and healthcare facilities. See if the culture fits you. These are some of the basic things that you should not overlook. 
  2. Take a look at the job market: See if there are enough job opportunities related to your field of study over there. Choose a place that can offer you a stable job. If possible, finalise a job before going to the new city. This will also help you in choosing a house that’s closer to your workplace. 
  3. Create a budget: A budget that’s practical can help in organising your move. Make sure that your budget is realistic. Calculate transportation, education, healthcare, food, and interstate removal cost. If you are moving anywhere across Western Australia especially in Perth, you can contact us. We can help you move without burning your pockets.

Also, have a clear idea of safety rules and regulations, nightlife, number of population and cultural practices. 

Is Your Paperwork ready?

There are some essential documents that you need to prepare beforehand. 

  • Change of Address: Update your address in bank, credit card services, and at all the places where you have officially mentioned your previous address.
  • Transfer or renew your daily services: Be it your newspaper or magazine subscriptions, your gym memberships or your daily essentials, either transfer them to your new place or stop the service and renew it later.  
  • Obtain vehicle registration and driving licence: Understand the process for obtaining your driving licence and vehicle registration paper. This will lessen your burden after reaching there.

Donate those unused items

There are hundreds of things at our home that are only lying around because we think that it might come handy someday. Well, guess what? It never does! Every single item that you add in your interstate removal list, the cost adds up. Just think, is the old dusty chair worth moving? So, grab this opportunity and donate things that you never use. This can save your time and money.

Checklist for finalising your new home

  • A Safe Locality: Before you choose a new house make sure that it is safe from all perspectives especially if you’re moving with your family. Research or simply take feedback from the people living nearby. Also, take note of the natural calamities that occur there. Check if the area is prone to natural disasters. If it is, prepare yourself for them. 
  • Basic amenities: The house should be well equipped with basic amenities such as 24 hour water supply, electricity, greenery, security guard, playground for children, parking lot, etc. Look for a house that is affordable with all these amenities. Research about the seasonal temperature to get a rough idea of your heating or cooling requirements.

Not only this you should also do research about the rent of these utilities and if that fits your budget for example electricity bills differ from place to place depending on the living scores.

  • Emergency services: Before you move out, find out about police, hospital, and fire services. Be informed about these services. Try to know how near or far they are from your place. In case of emergency, you should be able to contact them.
