Quick reminder for your move to your new home

Whether it was a last-minute decision or it was planned for ages, the result is the same: you need a strong sense of organisation to move from one country to another. If you want to avoid any problem during the journey, you have to think about every detail. Find out here what are the most important steps.

Get the administrative follow-up done

The first thing to do is to make sure the country of arrival has special agreements with your own. You will then be allowed to stay for an indefinite period, but also buy a house and work as soon as you arrive. When the time comes, make sure you have all the paperwork (passport, special visa for the whole family and pets, driver's licence, and so on) ready on time.

When your decision is final and you are ready for your new life, you should check with your family doctor if you need any vaccine three months before your departure. This is also the time to ask your children’s old school for the document which will be required for another registration. Likewise, if you have a pet, you will also need the record of vaccination. Furthermore, you will need to respect the pet transport rules of the boat or plane company. This is also the time to decide if you will open or not a bank account in the country you settle in.

Prepare the actual move

Start by sorting out your belongings before anything else. Indeed, this step is an important one in any removal but is of crucial importance when moving into another country or another continent. No one wants to move with unnecessary belongings that will cost you to ship and take place in your new home. The key here is to keep only what is of absolute necessity. Once this step is accomplished, you can tidy up and place them in boxes. We advise you to identify every box to make sure that you will find once you move in your new home. One month prior to the departure, make sure you have the insurances which protect you from breakage problems.

Choose your moving company

Make a list of professional removal firms – whether in your departure and host country – that are used to provide that kind of service. Contact them to get a quote request with all the services included and the price and ask them how they handle the transport of fragile items. Some of them will help you with a "to-do list" containing any administrative formality and when you have to fulfil them.

How to choose your moving package?

professional mover packing

In many moving companies, you will find the same basic packages. The entry level services consist in the removal of all your belongings from your current home towards the new one. It means that the expert movers will load the truck and transport your goods and furniture safely. If you would rather have a premium offer with a more comprehensive service, it may include the dismantling and re-assembling of your furniture, the packing into boxes, special packaging for fragile items, etc. Do not forget to ask the company if they take care of the organisation of your international moving or the transport of professional items (indutry or office equipment, archives...).

If you don't have the time or that you know organisation is not your thing, you could be interested in one of these comprehensive packages: you'll receive the help of experienced movers that can organise and use properly the different tools such as the van, the lift and so on. Moreover, you will be sure that all your valuable and fragile items will be moved with caution thanks to special packing.

Know that the professional will also be there to give you a few tips. So, do not hesitate to ask your questions if this is your first move. Quite often, they dress a list including all the steps you have to follow and when to fulfil them. Do not forget to contact the company at least three months in advance if you want to ensure you can book the day that suits you the best. At the same date, you'd better have to warn your lessor that you leave the apartment in case there is any notice period. From there, you have a few months to carry out any repairs needed.

Then, the company provide you a list with valuable tips: when to inform your electricity supplier, your internet provider, your insurance companies, what to pack at the very end, the documents you will need on hand, etc. Finally, they have some pieces of advice for the day before (switch off all electrical devices and the heating) and how to prepare for the moving day.

When you move out, it is often time for a big sort out. You have kept so many things you don't use or don't even know you still have. If you don't want to keep everything, you can give away clothes, books and even household devices to charities in your surroundings. If you have damaged pieces of furniture, you'd better have to contact the bulky waste service or check the day you can just leave them outside your door.

Make your removal easier in Brussels

Whether you chose to move in a house or in an apartment, you will probably need a lift in order to drop your furniture and heavy goods on the right floor without using the stairs or the elevator. This is an operation that would otherwise result difficult for you and also that might damage your stairwell.

Nevertheless, in big cities, and especially in Brussels, the traffic is quite dense. That is the reason why your removal company will advise you to call a lift services company. Those experts will book a place to park just in front of your new home so that you will not be disturbed by cars as long as your removal lasts.

Be organised

Most of the time, when you are beginning to pack your belongings, you suddenly realise you own many more things than you thought you had. In order not to be overwhelmed, it is important to be organised. There is a precise order in which you have to plan a removal. First things first, have a look at your pieces of furniture, your clothes, decorative items, and so on. Are they still in good condition? Do you really need it? Will it match your new home? At this point, you sort out your stuff and give, sell or throw away everything that is not absolutely necessary. When you begin packing things, put heavy objects in small boxes, so that it will be easier to move and it will prevent tearing. Finally, if you pack all your cables together, do not hesitate to use colours in order to identify the matching device.
