The idea of moving into a new apartment or a house sounds wonderful, isn’t it? You are going to live in the house which you have always been dreaming about. But when it comes to the moving process, we preoccupy our minds with how to organize everything correctly. Everyone in the family wants the whole moving process to be smooth, easy, quick, and without unexpected ‘’surprises’’. However, there are some important things to do in the new apartment before your final move. Our suggestion is not to miss out on any of them!
- Change your locks and keys
Safety should be one of the main priorities in every home. What concerns locks, you never know who else, besides you, has access to your new house, taking into account the fact that the locks were previously changed by someone else. Besides, it is a well-known fact that worn locks are easier to break than new ones. When changing them, we recommend installing either deadbolt locks, which are very difficult to open with a knife blade or a credit card, or a smart lock system which is more convenient in usage.
- Make sure your utilities are all set up according to your preferences
The services that make up the running of your household such as the gas, electricity, water/sewage, garbage disposal, phone, internet, and cable TV should all be set in advance, generally one or two weeks before your move-in date, in order to avoid the last-minute scrambling. Sometimes you can choose an alternate utility supplier which may not be the same company that delivers the service to your house. You can contact the distribution utility to find out whether there is an option for a choice of suppliers.
- Fire protection
The assurance of your family members and your security should be at the top of the checklist when moving to a new apartment or a house. As no one is immune to the hidden dangers in life, we can somehow minimize the risk of such kind of incidents by taking certain safety measures beforehand. The measures for fire prevention and safety is taken in advance can save lives and minimize damage. It is recommended to have one fire extinguisher on every level of your house. The most important point is to check the smoke detectors in your house from time to time, to be sure they are working properly and are clean. If you do not have any, hurry up to install some.
- Sort out your belongings
There is no need in moving everything you have in your current apartment to a new house, especially when you surely have certain items you have not been using for a long time and you are not planning to use them anymore. So, it is a good idea to think about what you are going to do with the unnecessary stuff you own. We recommend you either donate those items or sell them making extra money for buying something new for your new house. Besides, the whole moving process may take longer, depending on the number of items that must be moved into your new house. Thus, we suggest packing one room at a time, so it will be easier to relocate them to the new place in this way, the whole process will be more organized, time-saving, and effective.

- Deep clean
If your new apartment was previously settled by other people, it will surely need a deep cleaning even in case the previous residents always kept their house neat.
