Moving Binder: printable moving planner and checklist

An eight-week plan for moving house, from the first quote to the first quiet evening in the new place. Print it, keep it in one folder that travels with you, and tick things off as you go.

What is inside (24 pages)

• Start here: how to use the binder, with a contents page, and the move at a glance (both addresses, key dates, a budget summary).
• Timeline: four week-by-week checklists, from eight weeks out to moving day and the first week, with blank lines for your own jobs.
• Planning: a comparison of up to three mover or truck quotes, a moving budget (estimate vs actual), and a sell / donate / give-away list.
• Paperwork: a change-of-address checklist (22 common places to update, plus blank rows), and a utilities page with stop and start dates and meter readings.
• Packing: a room-by-room plan, a numbered box inventory (2 pages), six cut-out box labels per page, and checklists for the open-first box and the first-night bag.
• New home: a will it fit? page for doorways and furniture, a dot-grid floor plan page, a move-in condition record (useful for renters' deposits and for owners' snagging lists), and a first-weeks checklist.
• Contacts and notes: 8 contact cards, one lined page and one dot-grid page.

What you get

• Two PDF files: one for US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), one for A4 (210 × 297 mm). Same 24 pages in each.
• Margins of at least half an inch (12 mm) and light, printer-friendly colors. The only filled background is the cream panel on the cover.
• Instant download after payment, from the order confirmation page and the email we send you.

Good to know

• This is a printable file, not a physical binder or labels: nothing is shipped. Print at 100% / Actual size. The box labels print on plain paper or full-sheet sticker paper.
• The pages are for writing on by hand; the PDF has no fillable form fields and no dates, so it works for any move.
• The timeline is a general guide. Leases, deposits and moving contracts follow local rules, so read your own agreements and ask the company or a local advisor when you are unsure.
• Personal use: print as many copies as you like for your own household. Please don't resell or share the file.
