Moving Guide
House Shifting Checklist for Gurgaon: A Complete Guide
Everything to organise before, during and after a house move in Gurgaon, written from what we see go right and wrong on real moving days.
4 Weeks Before Moving Day
- Get quotes from 2-3 movers and confirm a written, itemised price, not a verbal estimate.
- Check your new home's lift booking rules if it's a high-rise, and your current society's exit gate pass requirements.
- Start decluttering. Sell, donate or discard anything you haven't used in a year, it directly reduces your moving cost.
- If moving intercity, check whether your new city requires any vehicle registration transfer paperwork in advance.
2 Weeks Before
- Inform your RWA or builder management of your move date and confirm any gate pass or NOC needed for the moving truck.
- Start packing non-essential items: off-season clothes, books, decor, spare kitchenware.
- Label boxes by room, not by item type, it makes unpacking at the other end far faster.
- Arrange school transfer certificates, if applicable, and update your address for bank accounts and subscriptions.
Moving Day
- Keep documents, jewellery, cash and medicines with you personally, not in the truck.
- Do a final walkthrough of every room, including cupboards, balconies and the loft, before the truck leaves.
- Check the inventory list against what's loaded and get it signed by your mover's crew lead.
- Take photos of any furniture that already had scratches or damage before loading, so there's no dispute later.
After You Arrive
- Unpack the kitchen and bathroom first, they get your household functional fastest.
- Check every box against your inventory list before signing off on delivery.
- Update your address with your bank, employer and any government IDs within a few weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many days before moving should I start packing?Start non-essential items 2-3 weeks before moving day, and finish everything except daily essentials by the day before. A rushed last-minute pack is when breakage and lost items happen most.
Do I need to inform my RWA before a move in Gurgaon?Yes, most Gurgaon societies require a gate pass or NOC for movers, and some restrict truck entry timings. Check with your RWA at least 2-3 days before your move date.
What should I pack myself instead of leaving to movers?Keep documents, jewellery, cash, medicines and a change of clothes with you personally rather than in the moving truck, regardless of how much you trust your mover.
