We are very lucky to have a moving company like Conroy Removals in New Zealand as they are devoted to helping their customers move house with the utmost care and the least amount of stress as possible. To this end they have compiled a helpful moving planner on their website at http://www.conroy.co.nz .

The Conroy Removals team recommend to start the moving process at least four weeks before moving day, and the first thing to do is to book with them and make sure they are aware of everything that needs to be moved. They also offer a range of options available to protect against the possibility of loss or damage during your move. Next they advise people should notify their children’s schools and arrange for records to be transferred, if they are moving out of the area. Similarly, people should get copies of their medical notes from their doctor or dentist to provide to their new health professionals. For those moving overseas they need to obtain visas, residency and work permits and also check that their passports are up to date and any necessary vaccinations are arranged.

Conroy Removals say it is a good idea to have a garage sale to sell unwanted furniture, and arrange donations to local community organisations such as the Salvation Army, and begin reducing the amount of food stored in the freezer or pantry. At this stage people need to have their mail redirected and change the details on any regular subscriptions - these are all things we may not necessarily think of ourselves, with all that is going on during the moving house experience. Other important people who need to know we are moving include our bank, our phone and internet provider, the electricity and gas company, subscription TV, insurance company, tax department and electoral registrar.

For those with children they need to arrange for someone to look after them on moving day, preparing a package for their children during the move with a change of clothes, something to eat and an activity they will enjoy. At this stage they should defrost the fridge and freezer and clean the house from top to bottom to ensure it is looking great for the new owners. The Conroy Removals team also say people should empty fuel from mowers, weed eaters, chainsaws, heaters, lamps and stoves etc. before removal and call their power company with their final reading. They should also check water, gas and electricity are turned off and water cylinder is switched off.

Choosing Conroy Removals to move around New Zealand or around the world means choosing a company that cares and really takes care of their customers.
