Preparing Your Home Before Original Agarwal Packers and Movers Arrive

A well-prepared home can make moving day considerably more organised. Professional movers can take care of packing, lifting, loading and transportation, while homeowners can complete several simple preparations before the team arrives.

This applies whether the move is within the same city, between states or to another country.

Before the Movers Arrive: A Home Preparation Checklist

1. Sort Your Belongings

Walk through the house room by room and decide what should happen to each item.

Create separate groups for things you will:

• Take with you
• Donate
• Sell
• Throw away
• Transport personally

Removing unwanted belongings before packing can reduce the quantity that needs to be packed and transported and can simplify unpacking later.

2. Set Aside Essential Items

Prepare a separate essentials bag containing important items you may need immediately.

This can include documents, medicines, toiletries, clothes, chargers, basic kitchen supplies, children's necessities, keys and other personal items.

Mark this bag "Do Not Pack".

3. Personally Carry Valuable Items

Keep passports, identity documents, jewellery, cash, financial papers, property documents and other highly personal belongings separate from the household shipment.

Where practical, carry these items personally and identify anything that must not be packed.

4. Prepare Refrigerators and Washing Machines

Empty and defrost the refrigerator and let it dry properly. Drain the washing machine before transportation.

Gas, electrical and specialised technical disconnections should not be attempted unless you are qualified to perform them. Professional assistance should be arranged where necessary.

5. Complete Household Work

Before moving day, finish washing clothes and dishes and make sure damp belongings are not left in cupboards or cartons.

Cleaned appliances and storage spaces should be completely dry before they are packed. This can help minimise moisture-related issues.

6. Open Up Access Routes

Furniture and cartons need to move safely through the property.

Remove obstacles from hallways, doorways, staircases, corridors, areas around furniture, and routes to lifts and exits.

Tell the moving team beforehand if your property has a narrow staircase, restricted entrance or other access limitation.

7. Check Building Rules

If you live in a society, apartment complex, gated community or high-rise, find out whether moving permission is necessary.

Check the:

• Moving schedule
• Lift availability
• Vehicle entry rules
• Parking/loading arrangements
• Security requirements

Completing these requirements before moving day can help avoid delays.

8. Keep Children and Pets Safe

Open doors, packing materials, moving furniture and heavy lifting can create risks.

Keep children and pets away from the work area and, where possible, arrange a separate safe place for them during packing and loading.

9. Inform the Moving Team About Special Belongings

The movers should know in advance about items requiring special attention.

These may include fragile glassware, artwork, large furniture, heavy appliances, gym equipment, musical instruments, specialised electronics and oversized or difficult-to-handle belongings.

This information helps the team understand the shipment and plan handling requirements.

10. Prepare the Destination Property

Make sure your new home is ready before the shipment arrives.

Confirm building access, electricity and water where necessary, lift arrangements and parking.

If the destination is rented or located in an apartment complex, confirm delivery timings as well.

11. Keep Documents Nearby

Moving paperwork should not be placed in a carton that could be difficult to find.

Keep the quotation, inventory details, contact information and other relevant documents accessible. Also understand which services have been agreed upon and who should be contacted if assistance is needed.

12. Inspect Every Area Before Leaving

After packing and loading, complete a final inspection.

Look inside wardrobes, drawers, kitchen cabinets, lofts, balconies, bathrooms, utility rooms and storage areas.

Do not forget keys, access cards and other items required for handover.

Let the Professionals Manage the Physical Move

Home preparation is about organisation, not replacing the work of professional movers.

Once belongings have been sorted, essentials separated and access routes cleared, the moving team can undertake the physical work according to the agreed services.
