10 Most Overlooked Items on your Georgetown Move
Records
- Veterinarian – your pet’s immunization/vaccination records
- Physician – medical records, doctor’s prescriptions
- Dentist – dental records
- Permanent School Records of your child – copies may not be honored so you have to secure one with a raised seal
Phone Numbers and Addresses - avoid unnecessary charges on directory assistance to call old friends or companies in your old Georgetown address which you still need to contact.
- Old phonebooks from your old Georgetown address
- Friends’ phone numbers and addresses
Complete transactions and make arrangements with local utility companies or business such as:
- Laundry and Dry Cleaner
- Electric Company
- Water
- Library – return books which you have borrowed and be sure that you are cleared from all your responsibilities as a borrower.
- Video Rental – return all rented movies and close your account
- Repair Facilities – watches, shoes, etc that you had brought for repair
- Deliveries and other services – make arrangements with your newspaper delivery service, milk delivery, and bottled water deliveries to stop delivering at the stated date of your move. This is also necessary to avoid being billed after you have moved out.
Hidden Items around your old Georgetown house
- Jewelries and other valuables should stay with you during the move
- Keys
- Items hidden inside crawlspaces and the attic
Your new Georgetown address – keep it handy in your purse for you might need to give this to your old friends and family members and when you go to the Postal Office to fill up the form to notify them of your new Georgetown address and ensure that your subscriptions and correspondence will follow you there.
Leave your old Georgetown house clean for the next family who will move in. Pack your cleaning supplies last so that you can use up whatever cleaning products and supplies you had already opened and lessen what you have to bring to your new Georgetown house. If you have the budget, you can arrange for a service team who will clean up your mess after you have moved out.
Transport and Moving Arrangements for your Pets and Plants
- Pets – you can decide to bring your pets with you or arrange for a company which will take care in safely transporting your pets to your new Georgetown home. You should include this transaction at least 2-4 weeks before the move because you might need to secure important permits and documents which you need to give to your pet moving services.
- Plants – most states have existing regulations concerning the transport of plants to safeguard the transmission and introduction of pests and diseases. You can arrange with a company which can safely transport your valuable plants complete with permits to your new Georgetown address.
Bank Accounts and Finances
- Update your savings and checking accounts. If possible, open a new account, both saving and checking, at your new Georgetown community a month before moving in. This will ensure that you will not meet any problems regarding your finances and check payments. There are some business owners who refuse to cash “out of town” checks. Opening a bank account will also make it easier for you to have easy access to your funds anytime.
- Prepare a substantial amount of cash on hand to cover your moving expenses and whatever incidental expenses that may be incurred during the move.
Garage door openers – Leave this behind at a conspicuous place so that it can easily be spotted by the new owners.
House Keys – Remember and retrieve the spare house keys that you have placed under the rock in the garden or the one which you have left with your next-door neighbor.
