List the main costs first: removalist or truck hire, packing materials, end-of-lease cleaning, storage, utility connections, transport and any rental bond or rent overlap. In Canberra, removalist quotes can vary with the distance, stairs, parking access, moving date and the amount of furniture, so get several written quotes and check what insurance and extra fees are included. Treat the bond as a cash-flow cost even if it may later be returned, and check the ACT rental bond process through the ACT Government. Allow a contingency of around 10–15% for unexpected costs, subject to your circumstances.
