Introduction

Moving house in Singapore is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming. Between packing, dealing with utilities, and coordinating movers, it’s easy to forget important steps. To make your move smooth and stress-free, we’ve prepared the ultimate moving house checklist — updated for 2025.

Whether you’re moving into a new HDB flat, condo, or landed home, this guide will help you stay on track from start to finish.

✅ 1 Month Before the Move

Book your movers early – confirm your moving date with a reliable company like Xpress Movers.
Declutter your home – donate, sell, or dispose of items you don’t need.
Set your moving budget – include mover fees, packing supplies, and cleaning costs.
Arrange leave from work – secure a day or two off around your moving date.

✅ 2 Weeks Before the Move

Start packing non-essentials – items you won’t use in the next two weeks.
Label your boxes – mark them by room and indicate fragile items clearly.
Update service providers – inform your internet, utilities, and telco providers of your new address.
Arrange bulky item disposal – contact your town council or disposal service if needed.

✅ 1 Week Before the Move

Pack valuables separately – keep jewellery, cash, passports, and documents in a safe bag.
Prepare an “essentials box” – pack chargers, toiletries, snacks, water, and bedsheets.
Defrost and clean your fridge – at least 24 hours before moving day.
Confirm details with movers – double-check time, parking, and access points.

✅ Moving Day Checklist

Keep cash/PayNow ready – settle payments quickly.
Guide your movers – walk them through what goes first and fragile items.
Check fragile items – inspect before and after the move.
Take meter readings – for water, electricity, and gas before handing over your old home.

✅ After the Move

Inspect your new home – look for damages or issues.
Unpack essentials first – bedroom and kitchen boxes to settle in quickly.
Update your address – notify banks, insurance, SingPost, and subscriptions.
Leave a review – share your experience with your movers to help others.
