Moving tips

Will you soon be moving into a (new) rented house? Then there are a number of things you need to arrange. What do you need to think about and what do you need to pay attention to? We have listed them for you so you can move with peace of mind.

Start packing on timeFrom

the moment you know when you are going to move you can make a planning. Don't start packing the evening before, because then you'll be too late. There are always things that you won't use before you move, like seasonal stuff and clothes. You can pack these things in advance, so that you don't have to do this at the last minute. By checking all the rooms, you will already have filled a lot of moving boxes.

Marking moving boxesTo

make sure that things don't get out of hand on the day of the move, it is a good idea to sort the contents of the boxes according to the room they are going to. For example, you could have boxes with things for the kitchen, bedroom, guest room, living room and shed. On moving day, it will be easier for you and the help you get to get all the stuff into the right rooms. This saves time later, because you don't have to move things to a different room.

Reserve a moving vanProbably

not all your belongings will fit in your car. So hire a removal van for all the big things. Think about how much space you will need in the van and book it in advance, so that you don't run into any problems on the day of the move.

Temporary storageSometimes

it may be necessary that you can't immediately put all your belongings in your new home and you need to store them temporarily. For this you can go to several storage companies. In the Eindhoven-Helmond region vb&t works together with Easiebox, you will get a nice discount on the first month's rent on www.easiebox.nl.

Gas, water, electricity and television, internet and telephoneIt

may be that gas, water and electricity are included in your rental property, but in most cases you will have to arrange these things yourself. It is important that you have this in order on the day you receive the key. Especially for television, internet and telephone you need to be on time. Also think about where you want the connections to be, so that you can pull cables before your furniture arrives. If you already have a subscription, you can often take it with you to your new home, but you will of course have to inform us of your new address and moving date. At vb&t we are happy to take the hassle out of moving, and to arrange all these things you can visit www.utility-provider.nl/vbt.

InsurancesAre

you

going to

live together for the first time? Then you will probably have to take out some new insurances. Think about health insurance, liability insurance, home insurance and contents insurance. Do you already have home insurance? Then please check whether you may need to adjust the insured amount.

The postIt

can be a tricky job to change your address details everywhere. So start with the most important organisations so you don't miss any important mail. But also think about your family and friends, the newspaper, your favourite magazine and shops.

Notifying the municipality of your change of addressMoving house

means that you will have a new address. Therefore, do not forget to notify the municipality of your change in time. Even if you are moving within the same municipality, you must report your change of address. You can do this up to 5 days after the moving date by using your DigiD.
