Moving into a new home can be both exciting and overwhelming. With all of the packing and heavy lifting, it's easy to forget about essential tasks that need to be done before settling into your new abode. Here are some crucial steps to take before moving into your new home:
- Set up your utilities:
Before you move in, make sure to contact the utility companies, such as BC Hydro and Fortis BC, to set up and update your account with the correct address. If you don't already have an account, create one, and don't forget to set up your internet service. - Forward your mail:
Ensure that you're not missing out on any crucial mail by informing Canada Post of your address change and forwarding your mail. This can be quickly done online, saving you time and effort. - Connect with the Strata Property Manager:
If you're moving to a condo or a townhouse, reach out to the strata property manager to begin the onboarding paperwork process. This allows you to get set up with Strata services, book your move-in, and start enjoying your new home.
Completing these few tasks before settling into your new home can save you time, money, and stress in the future!
