Moving into a new home can be exciting and nerve-racking at the same time. Having to navigate a new place and settling in is complex and difficult. But you just need to take it a step at a time, and things will eventually sort out. To start the process, here are the first things to do to a home when you first move in.
Before you even start unloading items into your new home, you should do an inspection of the house. Identify all the rooms, and look for any messes from previous owners. You should also locate the power box, the fuse box, and the water valve.
Once you’ve got a sense of the house, it’s time to designate an area for everything you’re unloading and anything else you plan on bringing to the home. Set aside areas for key rooms, such as bedrooms and living rooms. This way, you know where to put boxes you unload.
You should try to clean everything to the best of your abilities, getting even the hardest-to-reach places clean, from the oven to the radiators. It’s best to start your life in this home as clean as possible.
You’ll want to keep an eye out for any areas that can use home improvements worth the investment, as something that worked for the previous tenants might not work for you. Mark these areas and try not to use them so that they’re ready for any potential changes.
Finally, the last thing you’ll want to do is change the locks on your home. That’s the best way to truly break your home off from the previous tenants and claim it as your own new home.
By following this guide on the things to do to a home when you first move in, you should soon find yourself settling in your home.
