This may sound a daft question, and I'm losing hope we will EVER actually move - we received our offer at the end of Feb and offered on our property in mid March and the chain still isn't complete - but I might as well start thinking about it!
When we moved into our current home we were first time buyers and had a week overlap between moving in and the end of our tenancy. We were able to move our stuff ourselves with a van and had loads of time to complete the clean up.
However my understanding is that you book your removal company for the provisional moving date, get a call on the day, the removal people pack up and you have to give in keys by 2pm or whatever time. How does this work with cleaning? Obviously we can clean around our furniture but I presume you have to clean where furniture has been and make good any mess your removals have caused... but then do you have much time in which to do this? And when do you remove your hoover? And what stuff is in your 'on the day' moving box eg teabags, kettle etc?
It sounds daft as I said, but I'm struggling with the logistics of how it works so if people can say what happened on their last moving day, especially how they managed the clean up, it would be helpful so I can start getting my head around it!
