Moving day countdown

Set the countdown date

A key handover, tenancy start and moving-company booking may happen at different times. Use the date confirmed for the move itself. Do not treat a proposed completion date as certain. Verify any contractual deadline with the responsible professional or provider.

Preparation checklist

Choose the tasks you need and add anything specific to your plans.

• Confirm access to the new home and the key collection plan.
• Reconfirm the moving-company arrival window and contact details.
• Label boxes by destination room and note fragile items.
• Keep essential items in a bag that does not go into the van.
• Arrange building access or parking with the relevant contact.
• Save the handover instructions without putting the address in a public widget.

Prepare for a delayed handover

Keep an alternative plan for a delayed handover. Edit Daymark when a confirmed date changes, and communicate directly with anyone relying on the schedule. The countdown can hold your checklist, but it is not a legal completion tracker or a guarantee of access.

Keep the first-night bag out of the moving boxes

Use Packing for keys, chargers and the items you need immediately after arrival. Use Checklist for access confirmation and the moving-company call. Save the provider link in Reservations & links. A checked booking task does not mean its physical items are packed.

Update confirmed dates without losing the plan

Open the existing countdown and tap the pencil when the agreed move changes. Review Target date, any target time, and reminders. Save and check the new date. Do not create a duplicate merely to update a schedule that the same planning pack belongs to.
