Relocation planner: turn a move into a workable brief

Separate discovery from commitment

A first visit can test areas and daily routes; a later visit can focus on properties and professional due diligence. If tours are remote, require continuous views and a list of what was not shown. Verify a specific property’s utility and internet availability rather than assuming coverage from a nearby address.

Build time around possession

Record the date your current housing ends and the date you are legally entitled to occupy the next home. Include pets, storage, vehicle transport, insurance, utilities and address changes in the move plan. Keep a temporary-housing option if those dates do not align.
