Prepare for your move in good time. Use the Dockx moving checklist, read through the list, add your own personal notes and fill in all the important data for the moving process. This will get you well on your way.
Book your moving day. Keep in mind that moving during the weekend and at the end of the month are the busiest moving periods.
Make sure you have enough moving boxes. An average of 25 to 30 moving boxes are needed for a small amount of household items and 45 to 50 for a large amount. Go to www.dockx-rental.be for information about all the types of moving boxes and moving materials such as packing paper, bubble wrap, adhesive tape for boxes/furniture.
Start packing the things you no longer need early. Take any items you want to get rid of to the recycling collection facility or to the charity shop.
Number all of the boxes and make a list of their contents. You can purchase stickers from us to mark in which room the boxes should be placed. It’s possible that multiple people will be handling your boxes.
No time to pack or move yourself? Contact the full service moving team at Dockx Movers at least 2 weeks in advance.
Remember to think about space in your new house for bicycles, mopeds, motorcycles, playground equipment, washing machine, dryer, etc.
Provide sufficient parking space for the moving van. Be sure to apply to the municipality for a no-parking zone permit so you can move with the least amount of hindrance from traffic.
Your main domicile is the place where you spend the majority of your time during the year.
If your income is low you may be eligible for a rental subsidy when moving. Each Region has two types of subsidies: a one-off installation subsidy and a monthly rental subsidy.
