Your move in Edinburgh: the local checklist

The six steps not to forget, in order, with information specific to Edinburgh.

3 to 4 weeks before
Reserve vehicle parking
In most cities, occupying the public right-of-way on moving day requires authorization from the town hall or the road maintenance department. Check early: the processing time can take several weeks, especially in the city center of Edinburgh.
3 weeks before
Change your address and transfer your contracts
Inform government agencies, your bank, and your employer of your new address. Cancel or transfer your electricity, gas, water, and internet services, indicating the meter reading date, and check the notice periods for each provider.
2 to 3 weeks before
Collect your cardboard boxes for free
Supermarkets and shops in in Edinburgh often give away their cardboard boxes early in the morning after stocking the shelves. Also consider neighborhood help groups and online donation sites. Plan on about 32 boxes for a 65 m² home.

1 to 2 weeks before
Empty your cellar, garage, and bulky items
Collection points and waste disposal centers in Edinburgh generally accept bulky items, sometimes requiring proof of residence or an appointment. A service provider can load, transport, and drop off items for you in a single visit.

The day before
Disassemble bulky furniture
Wardrobes, beds, and closets don't fit well in narrow staircases and small elevators. Dismantling them the day before saves one to two hours on moving day, which translates to a significant saving on the bill.

After the departure
Plan for the move-out cleaning
A clean property makes handing over the keys easier and reduces deductions from the security deposit. This should be planned once the property is empty, before the move-out inspection.
