With that said, here are 10 of the best moving house apps to help you manage the different stages of your move.

Moving house app

1. Zoopla

If you are searching for a home or an apartment, Zoopla is a must-have. Zoopla is a comprehensive moving house app that gives you up-to-date information about properties in the market. You can find the latest information about property listing for sale and rent across the U.K. and even overseas.

Zoopla allows you to tailor your search within a specific price range. You can further use the filter options such as transport route, postcode or even neighbourhood to customise your search to fit a particular bracket.

When you find a property that matches your requirement, you can bookmark it and track any price changes. There is also a tool in the app that gives you a rough idea of the cost of monthly utility bills.

2. Bubble Level

This app is your go-to tool for mounting your artwork, canvases, posters or paintings on the walls. The app displays a digital level which ensures the decor you display on the wall is not crooked. Though not very accurate, Bubble Level is the perfect guide to help you align your wall decor in your new home.

3. Around Me

Around Me is the ultimate digital assistant if you’ve just moved into a neighbourhood. Since it will take time to know where everything is in your new location, you can use the app to search the nearest petrol station, local takeaway, supermarket, ATM, health care facility and so on.

Around Me uses GPS location that is powered by Google. Using your location, it can easily point you to the nearest social amenity within your neighbourhood. With this app, you can quickly familiarise yourself with your locality without the usual hassle.

4. Dulux Visualiser

Suppose you want to change your new home paint and don’t know where to start. This is the app for you. Dulux Visualiser has an inbuilt colour advisor to help you choose the right colours.

To use the app, take a picture of the room you want to paint. On the app, paint the room using different colours until you find a combination that fits your style. You can then add the colour as a custom colour scheme and use the app to order or go to the nearest Dulux shop.

5. Via Michelin

Often people move house with the distance to the workplace in mind. Woe unto you if you move only to find out that your commute is longer because of bus and train transfers or congested traffic.

This app helps you avoid such situations and find the most viable route to your workplace. Via Michelin, navigate traffic by giving you a route with real-time traffic. It also has GPS navigation that sends an alert in case of a community incident.

With Via Michelin, you can easily calculate your route fast and accurately. The app also gives you an option of choosing the cheapest, fastest or shortest route.

Though designed for the U.S. consumers in mind, this app is ideal for anyone moving house. Using the Moving App, you can send yourself emails or reminders to take care of moving tasks on your list. You can use the app to record your moving notes, print content labels for different boxes, and add personal notes on the moving information already on the app.

7. TIM the Property Inventory Manager

Since moving can be expensive, this app helps you cut costs as you can take an inventory of your items yourself instead of hiring a professional. With TIM, you can record all your household items and categorise them based on the room they belong in.

This moving house application has a simple interface that makes it easy to add items as you pack. Once you’ve moved, you can efficiently unpack your stuff without the stress of tracing what goes into which room.

Sortly allows you to add up to eight images or 15 seconds of video to help you remember items in each category.

9. Move Advisor

The app has a moving timeline that notify you of the tasks you need to take care of as the moving day draws near. Depending on how far ahead your move day is, the app suggests tasks like consulting a moving company, getting a quote, buying packing supplies, changing address or contacting the utility provider. Move Advisor also has an inventory to help you list your items. Through your listing, it gives you an estimate of the packing materials and moving boxes and blankets you’ll need.
