Moving House Checklist Generator

Enter your moving date and get a dated countdown — every task with the real date it falls due.

Everything happens in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded, there is no account, and the PDF is built on your own device. We count how often this tool is opened and used — a number, with nothing attached to it. What that means.

The move

How it works

  1. Enter your moving date and a few facts about the move.
  2. Every task gets a real date rather than "six weeks before".
  3. Print the countdown, or download it as a PDF with tick boxes.

Why use this rather than the printable?

A checklist that says "four weeks before" makes you do the arithmetic every time you look at it, in the month when you have the least attention to spare. This one does the arithmetic once and prints dates.

Both exist on purpose. If you would rather not type anything, the blank printable versions below are free, need no browser and never change. The tool is for when the personalised version is worth three minutes.

Questions

Does it know the rules where I live?

No. Notice periods, deposit rules, address-change obligations and what you must tell whom all differ by country and often by region. The checklist covers the tasks; the deadlines attached to them are yours to check.

What if my moving date changes?

Change the date and generate it again. It takes a few seconds, which is the advantage over a checklist you have already written on.
