Moving House Checklist: Everything You Need to Do for a Stress-Free Move

Moving house can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re not sure where to start. Whether you're relocating within Adelaide or heading to regional South Australia, having a clear plan makes all the difference.

This simple moving house checklist from Borgas Removals will help you stay organised, reduce stress, and ensure nothing gets missed.


1. Book Your Removalist Early

One of the most important steps in any move is securing a reliable removalist.

Booking early ensures availability — particularly for regional runs between Adelaide, Whyalla, Port Augusta, Port Pirie and the Riverland.

Borgas Removals offers experienced, no-fuss service with regular transport routes between the city and regional South Australia.


2. Create a Moving Inventory List

Before packing begins, make a list of everything that needs to be moved.

This should include:

  • Furniture
  • Packed boxes
  • Fragile or valuable items

A clear inventory helps ensure nothing is overlooked and allows for an accurate quote.


3. Start Packing the Right Way

Packing properly saves time and prevents damage.

We recommend:

  • Packing non-essential items first
  • Using sturdy boxes instead of loose items
  • Clearly labelling each box by room and contents

Well-organised packing helps your move run more quickly and efficiently.


4. Prepare for Moving Day

As your moving date approaches, preparation is key.

Make sure:

  • All boxes are packed and ready
  • Walkways and access points are clear
  • Essential items are kept separate

Being organised on the day helps avoid delays and keeps everything running smoothly.


5. Update Utilities and Address Details

Before you move, don’t forget to handle important admin tasks:

  • Transfer or disconnect electricity, gas, water, and internet
  • Update your address with banks, subscriptions, and services
  • Finalise any outstanding bills

Taking care of this early avoids unnecessary stress after the move.
