Pop the bubbly, You’ve sold!

Congratulations on the successful sale of your home! That “SOLD” sticker is more than just a sign — it’s the start of an exciting new chapter.

Now that the hard part’s done, it’s time to get prepped for a smooth move. With a bit of planning (and maybe a playlist or two), moving house can be surprisingly satisfying. We’re here to help every step of the way. You’ll find a handy checklist on this page.

Step 1: Count Down to Lift-Off

Get your timeline sorted. Settlement day is coming in hot, and you’ll want to be ready.
Here’s your moving countdown:

4–6 Weeks Out

  • 🔍 Book your removalist or get mates with trailers on standby

  • 📦 Start decluttering (less stuff = less stress)

  • 📑 Organise paperwork (utilities, forwarding address, dog’s vet records, all of it)

  • 📲 Set up utilities at your new place (we have a fantastic service called Connect Now available if you need any help with finding the best providers in your area)

  • 2–3 Weeks Out

  • 🎁 Pack non-essentials (hello, Christmas decorations from 2012)

  • 🧼 Start the “goodbye clean” — one room at a time

  • 🚨 Redirect your mail — unless you like mystery post

1 Week Out

  • 🧃Eat your freezer food (frozen curry party?)

  • 🧽 Book a pro cleaner (or bribe a relative with pizza)

1 Day to Go

  • 🛏 Pack a “first night” box: charger, PJs, kettle, snacks, TP. You’ll thank us.

  • 📣 Do one last walk-through (check cupboards, sheds, and that secret junk drawer)

  • Interior of a room with stacked cardboard boxes, potted plants, a floor lamp, and stacks of magazines or books.

    Step 2: Pack like a pro

    Label boxes with colours and rooms. It’s like adult LEGO, but with towels.
    Bonus: Write fun labels like
    💥 “Kitchen Chaos Kit”
    🧦 “Sock Army HQ”
    🎨 “Weird Art Stuff”

    The more fun you make it, the easier it will be to remember what goes where on move in day!

  • Sign hanging with the text 'See You Later' and a simple drawing of a hand in the bottom left corner.

    Step 3: Say Goodbye — But Keep It Classy

    Let your neighbours know you're moving (leave them with a plant, maybe?)

    Snap a few pics of the empty house — it’s the end of an era

    Hand over keys to your agent or buyer (cue happy tears)

Step 4: Welcome to Your Next Chapter

Whether you're upgrading, downsizing, or sea-changing — enjoy the ride!
