Set Up Beforehand

You don’t want to move into your home with thousands of things on your to-do list. After all, you already have to deal with unpacking, so you shouldn’t have to add more to your plate. That’s why it helps to set up as many of your utilities beforehand. 

Take the time to contact all relevant service providers to ensure your house is livable from the very first night you spend there. This way, you don’t have to spend the first night in your home without access to water, gas, heat, electricity, cable, or internet connection. 

Do a Walk-Through

Sometimes, you might get access to your home prior to moving in while it’s completely empty. Being able to view your new home without staging is a great opportunity. It provides a blank canvas, allowing you to brainstorm where you will place furniture, decor, and more. 

Therefore, one of the first things you should do before moving into a new house is to ask your realtor if you could have a walk-through. To optimize the walk-through, bring a measuring tape for better interior planning.

Deep Clean Everything

Although your new home does receive a cleaning, you can’t be absolutely sure everything is properly sanitized. Deep cleaning the house yourself will ensure it is cleaned to your standards and will provide you peace of mind. This way, you can feel like you are starting on a clean slate.

Often, the previous owner of your new house will only clean the main areas, neglecting less popular but equally dirty areas. For example, one of the most overlooked areas to clean before moving in is the top of your cupboards. So you definitely want to clean those, as they likely didn’t receive a dusting and wipe down. 

However, if the idea of deep cleaning seems too overwhelming, you may want to consider hiring a cleaning service to get the job done with little effort on your part. You can still oversee their work to ensure it meets your standards. 

Moving into a new house can be an overwhelming experience. However, if you set up beforehand, do a walk-through, and deep clean everything, you can make the process go a lot more smoothly.
