A Helpful Checklist For Your New Home

​Relocation is a massive undertaking, and you're undoubtedly fatigued, so congratulations on making it thus far! Don't lose heart just yet—this is the exciting stage in which you get to make your new house into a home.

The First 24 Hours
There are a few things to take care of once you've said your goodbyes to the moving company, but before you open the champagne, there are a few things to take care of first. Hence, to make it easier for you, the essentials are outlined in this step-by-step guide.

Update your doors and install any smoke alarms or safety systems you may have.

Once you've moved in, the first thing you should do is secure your home. Then, if you have one, set up any security systems you may have. Make sure your smoke detectors and any sprinkler systems are working and that you have a fire extinguisher in the house.

Examine The Property
You've probably already visited your new home a dozen times. You'll want to wander around and inspect the house once you've received the keys and are officially moved in.

The First Week
Moving in can be a slow process for some people who prefer to go from room to room. A plan is beneficial regardless of your style.

Inventory
Start off unpacking what you'll need in the first 48 hours, and save the boxes with non-essential stuff until last. Make an inventory of your possessions to keep track of them while you are packing them up. Prepare your kitchen ahead of time; you'll most likely work up an appetite while you unpack your belongings.

Home-improvement Checklist
After all, if you stick to a home-maintenance plan, you can rest assured that there will be no unpleasant and costly shocks throughout the year. 

Locate Medical Professionals
Ask your prior doctor for a referral if you're moving to a new city. Examine your health insurance plan to see if the doctor is covered. If you're looking for life insurance, look into no medical exam possibilities - it's as easy as that.

Give It A Break!
You've completed the task! Moving is usually a pain, but if you're well-organized (and use the correct checklists), it'll be a breeze. Sure, you'll have a never-ending list of things to do before you feel at ease in your new home. It's great to chill with a glass of champagne—or at the very minimum, a rest.
