Are you planning on moving homes within Dubai? Moving can be super stressful but also very exciting and fun. You just need to have a game plan to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Whether you’re upgrading to a bigger place or just moving to a better location, it’s important to plan ahead to ensure a smooth transition. This is where a checklist can come in handy.
From organising movers to updating your address and finding the best deals on furniture. This checklist will be your guide to a stress-free move within Dubai.
Preparation is everything
- First things first, we know how crowded the streets are in Dubai. To avoid being stuck in traffic on the day of your move, try to avoid rush hours or weekends.
- Check your moving requirements and don’t forget to give notice on your current contract, as per your tenancy agreement.
- If you don’t have the time or resources to move everything yourself. Search online for removals companies that can help make your move easier. For example, Choose-and-Move.
Declutter, declutter, declutter
- Moving gives us the opportunity to declutter our homes. We all know that over the years we accumulate stuff and end up not using half the things in our homes. So decluttering gives you a fresh start. For donations, you can use platforms like dubizzle.
- You can make it easier for your future self by labelling everything as you pack. Don’t just write the room it’s for on the boxes, but also what’s in it. This will help you when you’re unpacking.
Utilities and documents
- Every move has a few tedious tasks that can’t be avoided, but it helps to get them done in time so you don’t have any problems later on. Utilities that you should keep in mind: Change your DEWA account as well as Emicool and depending on whether you have a gas or electric oven, you should also contact a gas supplier.
- Don’t forget to update your Ejari account when you get your new lease.
- Most importantly *lol* let your internet provider know your moving.
Actually moving
Now the fun part can begin, but there are still a few things to remember:
- Check the house again and make sure there’s no damage or anything that wasn’t there before.
- Arrange the furniture as you like (the best part, actually). Tell the movers where you want everything to go so that everything is in the right place.
- Deep clean the place so that you can really start fresh and feel at home.
Last but not least, ENJOY. Enjoy your new space and look forward to all the fun things you will do in your new home, like inviting friends or family over and having movie nights in your new living room. Cosmo ME says congratulations
