Read ArticleMoving to a new house is easier when the process is planned in advance. Whether you are moving within Nairobi, relocating from Nairobi to another county, or moving between towns in Kenya, creating a moving checklist can help you stay organized.
Begin by identifying your moving date, destination, transport requirements and the services you need. If you require professional movers, contact them early so you can discuss availability and the details of your move.
Before packing, separate the items you want to keep from items you no longer need. Moving is often a good opportunity to reduce unnecessary belongings.
Packing one room at a time can make it easier to label boxes and locate belongings after arriving at your new home.
Glassware, electronics, mirrors and other fragile items should receive additional protection. Clearly marking fragile boxes can also help during handling.
Keep important documents, medication, chargers, basic toiletries, valuables and essential clothing separate so that you can access them easily.
Consider arranging cleaning before moving into the new property. Cleaning can also be useful when leaving a rental or preparing a property for new occupants.
Depending on the condition and history of the property, professional pest-management services may be appropriate before occupancy. Always follow professional instructions regarding preparation and re-entry.
Packing is one of the most time-consuming parts of moving. A simple system can make the process considerably easier.
Cleaning plays an important role in the relocation process. A clean home can make moving into a new property more comfortable, while cleaning a property after moving out can help prepare it for its next occupants.
Areas commonly considered during a deep clean include kitchens, bathrooms, floors, windows, cupboards and frequently touched surfaces.
If you are preparing a rental property, office, apartment or house for occupation, professional cleaning can save time and provide a more systematic approach.
Property owners and occupants may consider professional pest-management services when there are signs of pest activity or when preparing certain properties for occupation.
Before any treatment, the service provider should explain the preparation requirements, areas to vacate and any safety instructions that apply.

Office relocation requires more planning than a typical household move because business operations need to continue with as little disruption as possible.
Start by identifying the desired moving date and work backwards to determine when equipment, documents and furniture should be prepared.
Employees should know when the move is taking place, where the new office is located and what they need to do with their workstations.
Computers, monitors, printers and other office equipment should be prepared and handled appropriately during relocation.
Having a basic layout ready before moving day can help the team know where furniture and equipment should be positioned.
Professional office movers can help businesses organize the physical relocation while internal teams focus on operational requirements.
There is no single price that applies to every move. Moving costs can vary depending on the specific requirements of the customer.
The distance between the pickup and destination locations can affect the logistics involved.
A small apartment move and a large family house move can require very different amounts of transport space and handling.
Stairs, narrow entrances, parking limitations and other access conditions can affect the work required.
Packing, unpacking, cleaning and fumigation may affect the overall cost when added to a moving project.
