THE GUIDE TO SELLING YOUR HOME

Step 13 - Making the Move

After you have exchanged contracts, you have about 4-6 weeks before your house settles unless you agreed otherwise. So let's get organised and ready to move.

Removalists

The best way of finding a good removalist is to get a referral. Failing that, you can find a removalist via the internet or the Yellow Pages. Using the internet is a very quick and efficient way to research the range of services offered by each company.

Most removalists have a free online quote service, where all you have to do is enter all your details, and a quote will be emailed to you within 24 to 48 hours. You might want to get between 3 or 4 quotes before choosing a removalist.

You should plan to move approximately 2 days before settlement takes place.
