Although moving into a new house is a very daunting task, however, this challenge does not come to an end even after you have shifted into your new homely abode. A lot of things still remain to be accomplished till you drop dead in your couch at your new residence to just relax.
Here are some little tasks which should be completed immediately after you shift into the new house.
- Make sure all the major appliances are in working condition: There can be a lot of damaged caused to your expensive household appliances during the relocation process. Thus, the first and foremost work should be to check the working status of all your appliances to be rest assured that nothing is damaged during the transit. If you find any one of them not working then you can claim for them under the insurance policy of the company. Since the validity to claim for damaged goods is for a short span of time so you need to check their working condition at the earliest.
- Check the condition of the furniture and other boxes: Make sure everything was moved into the new house and nothing was damaged or lost during the transfer. You can make a checklist of all the items you can remember and tally them with the ones at home. Ensure to complete these things fast as your insurance company might not reimburse you for any lost property if it's too late.
- Check the electricity connection at your new residence: Make sure the lights and fans and other basic utilities are already set up before you move into the new house. This is because you can only check the running condition of your appliances if there is electricity at home. Otherwise, you would have to struggle late at night to set it right.
- Document all necessary receipts in one file: Collect all the necessary documents and receipts related to the transfer and maintain a separate file for it. This would prove to be beneficial at the end of the financial year when you have to submit all the payment bills to claim for tax return.
- Look for a reputed school in your locality: During the transit, take care not to neglect your children. Once you shift, look for a good school and get them admitted so that their education is not hampered. This would also help them settle down faster in the new locality.
- Register yourself as a valid resident of that area: Once you have moved in, register yourself in the local voter's community and update your address in your documents.
- Get to know people in your neighborhood: Get to know people in your neighborhood so as to get an idea about all the happenings in the area. This would help you get used to the place faster.
Though these small things wouldn't consume much of your time, however, they should be completed on a priority basis.
