Before Moving Anything Into Your New Home

Before moving any of your belongings into your new home, it's important to make sure that everything is as it should be. You may have had a list of repairs you expected—or this may be the first time you've seen the house empty. 


Take some time to go around with a notepad and check all of the sockets for obvious signs of wear and tear; look for damage that you might be otherwise liable for.

Ensure that cupboards are empty, free of damp, mold or bad smells, and keep a close note of what where the electricity, water and gas valves are. While doing this, get a feel for where you can place any furniture, how to get it up any stairs or even just into the house. Whether hiring a moving company, or doing it yourself, planning ahead can make a big difference.

Note any damage or concerns that need to be discussed—it's important to have these notes before moving anything in so that you can get the problems remedied as soon as possible.

If you're renting from a landlord, he'll give you a list of any fittings, fixtures and furniture to be left as-is—it's very common nowadays for landlords to leave 'white goods'—kitchen appliances, such as the fridge, freezer, washing machine and cooker. 

If renting, your landlord should also give you contact details, emergency repair numbers and any paperwork pertaining to these emergency repairs that you may need. You may also want to get bank details or arrange rent collection. Once final paperwork is signed, you can start making your new place your own.
