Moving into a new space, especially a new house, can bring all sorts of feelings, excitement for one! but we are quick to forget to check some simple things which in the long term may be detrimental to the house. Here are 4things people usually forget to do before moving into a new house:
- CHECK EVERYTHING IN THE HOUSE
Before moving you need to check everything from light switches to outlets and even electricity via your change-over box, do this to avoid stories that touch later on.
2. DEEP CLEAN THE HOUSE
Even though your house may appear clean, it never hurts to do a deep cleaning. You should dedicate a full day to clean your house or if you prefer to outsource this task. A proper cleaning company will do the job .(with a budget of 15,000N — 80,000N depending on the size of the house )
3. CHANGE YOUR LOCKS
You never know how many people may have access to your locks while your house was worked on. To be on the safe side you should get new locks for all the doors in your house.
4. WALK AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD
This is your new den, you should familiarize yourself with the neighborhood, check out the closest shopping mall or any building which provides basic amenities you may need.
You’re all set! Happy moving in.
