Making Moving Home Simple with Jordan Fishwick.?
Moving home is often described as one of the most stressful things you can do after getting ill, getting married and starting a new job. However, it doesn’t have to be – it can also be straight forward enough if you follow our simple guide to moving home.
Step 1
Confirm your Moving Date
First things first, confirm a moving date that all parties agree to move. This can be the most stressful time of all, as you move out your buyers may well be moving in, so it’s good to be organised well in advance. Try and get all parties involved to agree to a provisional completion date well in advance if possible
Step 2
Book a Removal Company
Before you can head off to your new house, you need to organise a removals company. They will help you move into your new property. You are often able to compare the performance of various removals companies in your local area. Removals companies don’t just do the heavy lifting – many of them offer a packing service too. Jordan Fishwick are affiliated with local removers, so ask your local branch for contact details.
Step 3
Organising your moving boxes
When you pack, don’t just cram everything you can find in a box. That way, you’ll never find anything you need when you move in and start to unpack. Instead, try planning ahead for your move, and organise your packing. Label boxes by the room they will occupy at the new address. Make a floor plan of the new house for the removal company to follow, and everything should end up in the right place on moving day.
Step 4
Leaving your old home
You need to contact your utility suppliers to let them know that you are moving house. Your electricity, gas, water, phone and internet suppliers will need to know your moving date and where applicable, meter readings
You will also need to let your local council tax office know you are moving along with other companies such as TV Licence, Driving Licence and your GP.
The simplest way to make sure you’ve remember to let everyone know, is to contact Royal Mail and apply for a redirection service, and all post will be forwarded to your new address, so you know who you need to inform as they write to you.
Moving in to your new home
Don’t try to do everything at once. You don’t need to unpack all of your non essential items on the first day. Instead, try to create occupiable areas within the new house in the first few hours. Your removals company can help you by putting all the boxes in the rooms you have labelled them with. From here, unpack when you are able. Moving house is a big deal – so don’t feel like you’re the only person to have taken a while to get fully unpacked.

I dealt with Jordan & Fishwick New Mills and Disley offices and they were exceptional people to deal with. They took all the stress out of an extremely stressful situation for me. Elizabeth and Paul were both so professional, and every other person on their team with whom I spoke was always so helpful and cheerful. Nothing was too much trouble. The house sold within days of going on the market, but, as Jordan Fishwick say – their work starts AFTER that! I had help and guidance with all sorts of issues and Elizabeth always had listening ear, as well as a solution. I had already received glowing reports from both my son and daughter, whose respective house sales/purchase had also been handled by this amazing estate agency, so Jordan Fishwick can’t come more highly recommended.
You engage an estate agent, but you gain a friend. Thank you all so very much.

Beth has been amazing in securing a rental property for myself. Beth was extremely professional and efficient, ensuring I was able to secure the rental that was being advertised.
Jordan Fishwick should be proud to have Beth as part of their team, as she is an asset to the company. Thank you again 🙂

After my house was on the market for three months, I spoke to the Jordan Fishwick team for an evaluation. Following their assessment I decided to move to them. The communications are efficient, timely and effective. They arranged viewers quickly and generated a high level of interest. When the original offer fell through, which was out of their control, they quickly re-marketed the house and generated interest. Once a new buyer was in place, the team ensures the whole process ran smoothly.
I’d highly recommend the team and Scott, my point of contract. Friendly, effective and accountable.
