There are different reasons why people move to new areas. It is possible that you got transferred to another job or maybe you are looking for an area with more green spaces and better schools. It is a good idea to research the information of that specific area. The Chamber of Commerce can provide the new resident packet. Some of the information you would like to research can include:

• Future planning developments;
• Council tax bands and charges;
• Local jobs and careers information;
• School admission information;
• Local parks and recreation areas;
• Sports facilities;
• Arts and leisure events and facilities;
• Facilities for young people.

When you start to plan your move create a file where you can keep all your receipts and relevant information of importance. Do a proper budget for the moving expenses. Documentation you can arrange in the meantime includes:

• Medical records and dental records;
• Notify your bank of your new address;
• Collect copies of financial and legal records you need;
• Contact your insurance agent and arrange for insurance for your new home;
• School records must be transferred to the new school;
• Remember to end membership of health clubs you have joined;
• Request veterinarian records;
• Remember to return your library books.

First begin packing the items that you will not need soon. Defrost and clean your refrigerator at least a day before you move. Now is a good time to separate the items that you can do without and donate it to an organization for the needy. Dispose poisons and flammables. If you do not plan on planting your plants immediately once you arrived at your new home, give them away. Pack the essentials for the first day or night in your new home in a separate box and mark it clearly. Make arrangements for childcare on moving day.
