Moving can be a stressor. But here’s how you can pack up your belongings and prepare to move with a little more serenity.

1. Make sure you apartment insurance policy is switched to your new location.

There’s no charge for an address change, but premiums might adjust up or down a bit depending on where you’ll be living. Jewelry insurance pricing does vary significantly by borough.

2. Never hire a moving company that’s not insured, bonded and licensed per New York State’s requirements.

Certain insurance policies may cover moving-related breakage — although this is typically not the case, especially for china, glass and crystal. Also, verify if your policy covers theft that occurs outside your building.

3. As you unpack in your new apartment, take pics of your valuables.

If you’re a first-timer in New York, this is a great way to start fresh with your inventory to make sure all your possessions are accounted for.
