Complete Moving Guide for First Time Home Buyers

Moving goes far more smoothly with a timeline. Here is a simple plan for the weeks around your transfer date.

Four weeks before

• Book movers and confirm access arrangements with the community
• Start decluttering room by room

Two weeks before

• Set up utilities, internet and cooling accounts for the new address
• Update your address with banks and employers

Moving week

Pack an essentials box with documents, chargers, toiletries and a change of clothes. Label every box with its destination room.

After you move in

Check that appliances, air conditioning and water heaters work, change access codes where possible, and introduce yourself to the community management team.

A calm move starts with a checklist, not a weekend of packing.
