New House Checklist 🏡

We’ve put together this helpful moving into a new house checklist to make the moving process smooooother! Below you’ll read all about what tasks you should complete in the run up to your big moving into your new house. We’ll start with the things you should complete one month before moving, all the way through to the tasks you should complete after you’ve moved into your new house. It’s an exciting time and we hope we can help make it a little less stressful for you ☺️

Things to do one month before you moving into your new house 📅

• Enquire about any issues you noted during your viewing
• Start cleaning out your current home
• Contact a removal company or rent a van, if needed
• Explore the new neighbourhood that you’re moving into. Check out our Neighbourhood Guides for things to do in your new area
• Sort out bills in advance. Wifi can often take a long time to organise so get this sorted ASAP. If you are moving soon, Resooma can offer you a FREE 5G WiFi dongle to get you online faster, when you sign up for Resooma’s bills management service

Things to do one to two weeks before you moving into your new house 🗓️

• Finish cleaning and packing
• Decide who gets which room. You can use our room picker tool for this!
• Create a group chat if you’re living in a shared house
• Use up all the food in your freezer
• Tell family and friends about your change of address
• Change the address on your driving licence
• Arrange contents insurance for your new rental property
• Apply for a parking permit (if necessary)

Things to do on your moving in day 📦

• Handover your old keys, and collect your new keys
• Check that everything in your new house works
• Take a meter reading
• Take photos of EVERYTHING
• Go over your new house inventory
• Unpack in your new house

Things to take care of after you’ve moved into your new house 😌

• Take out the rubbish and recycling. If you have large bulky items you may need to take a trip to the dump – this is why you need to change the address on your drivers licence, so you can get into the dump
• If you live in a shared house, set up a cleaning rota to organise the tasks. Check out this blog post for a downloadable cleaning rota
