The Top 5 Things to Do After You Move Into Your New Home

After you have finally decided on your new home and moved all of your stuff in, you may find yourself wondering what to do next. Moving can be such a daunting process and after all of the planning and the hard work, it is essential to stop, catch your breath and make sure that you have done all the necessary steps to ensure a smooth transition into your new home.

Here are a few top tips to consider when it comes to what to do when you’ve moved into your new home.

• Unpack as soon as possible
  Even though this may seem like the most tedious task, getting all of your belongings unpacked quickly and in an organised manner will help you settle in faster. Make sure that you take your time in doing so and try to find a place for everything as you go, that way you can avoid everything getting stacked into one place.
• Update your address details
  The next step for you should be to update all of your address information on your records. This includes anything that you may be registered for, such as bank accounts, driving license, and work contracts. You can also contact your local South African Post Office and they can redirect back any mail that may have been sent to your old address.
• Inspect the security of your new home
  South Africa is unfortunately a high-risk area when it comes to home security. Before settling in, it is very important to inspect the property and to ensure that you feel safe and secure in your new environment. This includes checking that stuff like walls and locks on the doors and windows are secure and up to date.
• Look for any necessary maintenance
  As you will be living in this home for some time, it is important to stay on top of necessary maintenance. This includes looking out for any leakages, broken tiles, or security items that may need to be replaced; or if there are any cracks in the walls or ceilings.
• Research services in your neighbourhood
  Making sure that you do your research on the services that this neighbourhood may offer is also essential. This ranges from essentials like Wi-Fi providers, municipal services and schools. It is also great to know what stores, petrol stations and medical facilities are close by in case you ever need them.

Once you have done all of the steps above, then you can finally begin to get comfortable in your new home.
