Product Details

Overview

A complete move — eight weeks of countdown, every box, every address change, every utility transfer and the budget — in one calm workbook, plus the printed sheets you actually carry on the day. The timeline is pre-written (80 tasks), the checklists are pre-written (44 steps), and every number on the Dashboard is a formula, so the moment you tick something off, your progress updates itself.

Key Benefits

• Nothing falls through the cracks: countdown timeline, calendar view, room checklists, box inventory, address log, utility tracker and budget all live in one file.
• The budget stays honest: estimates vs actuals vs what is still to pay, with a quote-comparison table so you choose a mover on facts, not pressure.
• Deadline reminders built in: services show days-to-end and days-to-start; the Dashboard counts service deadlines falling in the next 14 days.
• Paper where paper wins: the day itself runs on printed run sheets, labels and checklists — the spreadsheet stays home.
• Private by design: the address log is built for last-digits-only references. No passwords, no full account numbers, ever.

Who Is This For?

First-time movers and renters, families changing homes, anyone moving for work or study, downsizers, and the organised friend or partner who ends up running every move. Works for a studio across town or a family home across the country — the countdown and capacities are sized for real, full household moves (200 boxes, 60 address changes, 50 services).

How It Works

1. Type the move date and both addresses on the Dashboard — the countdown starts itself.
2. Work down the pre-written Move Timeline; set statuses and due dates. The Calendar counts each week’s tasks automatically.
3. Compare mover quotes in Moving Budget, then track estimates, actuals and payments as you book.
4. Tick the room-by-room checklists as you pack; log every box in Box Inventory with its destination room and a Fragile flag.
5. Work the Address Changes and Utilities sheets — dates, confirmations and deadlines all in one place.
6. Print the run sheets and move. After the move, the same sheets track unpacking until the last box is done.

Why It’s Different

Most moving planners are a to-do list with a prettier font. This is the whole admin system of a move: a costed budget with quote comparison, a deadline-reminder engine for utilities and lease dates, a 200-box inventory with destination rooms, and a printable layer (run sheet, labels, walk-through, address checklist) designed for the day when nobody has a free hand for a laptop. It is built only with formulas that behave identically in older Excel and Google Sheets — the compatibility is printed here, not fine-printed away.

Delivery & Compatibility

Instant download of direct files: 2 Excel workbooks + 4 PDFs (guide and printables, each in US Letter and UK A4). Works in Microsoft Excel (including older versions) and Google Sheets with the same formulas and layout — only long-standard functions are used (SUM, COUNTIF/COUNTIFS, SUMIFS, IF, IFERROR, INDEX/MATCH, TODAY, MAX). Yellow cells are yours to type in; blue cells are formulas — do not type over them. Lightweight files that open fast on phones and older computers. A filled SAMPLE workbook is included so what you receive matches what you see here. Free updates if we improve the file.
