What should I know when I have already bought my apartment?

Moving into a new home can be exciting and stressful at the same time. Making sure the move goes as smoothly as possible requires good planning and organization. Here's a list of the 10 most important things to do when moving into a new home:

1. Plan ahead

Planning is essential when moving into a new home. It is important that you make a list of everything you need to do and set up a schedule of tasks to make sure everything gets done on time. This is a critical step! There are many variables involved, considering if you are selling your other home, coming from another country, just got married, selling some things, buying furniture, etc. It is important to visualize the step by step and trust that everything will go smoothly. Moving to your new home is easy if you do it calmly and patiently.

2. Proper packing

It is important that you pack your belongings in a safe and organized way. Be sure to label your boxes with their contents and which room they belong to so you can easily find what you need once you arrive at your new home. The spaces at Condominio El Canal are new, clean and some apartments are spacious. The process of moving boxes can be intimidating for some, but that's why it must be done in a structured, orderly, and logical manner.

3. Hire a reliable moving company

If you are not an experienced mover, it is advisable to hire a reliable moving company. Be sure to research several options and read reviews from other customers before making a decision. Moving options are varied depending on the area you are moving from. Quoting different brands is always good to be able to define the right cost.

4. Configure utilities

Set up utilities such as electricity, water and gas in advance so that they are available when you arrive at your new home. This will save you time and allow you to start settling in right away. At Condominio El Canal we work with ICE and it is relatively easy to set up. We also recommend other internet services such as Liberty and TIGO.

5. Measure the space in your new home

Before packing your furniture, be sure to measure the space available in your new home so you can decide which furniture to take with you and which to sell or donate. It is important to measure and plan which furniture goes in which room. It could be a coffee table and two medium sized armchairs for the dining room that fit very comfortably, or it could be a huge couch that barely fits. It is necessary to measure well and think well the distribution of objects, understanding that it can always be modified. It all depends on whether your apartment measures 67 m2 or something more towards 151 m2.

6. Clean the house before moving in

Before you begin unpacking, it is advisable to clean your new home thoroughly. This includes cleaning the floors, bathrooms, kitchen and any other areas that need attention. It's better to start with a clean home than one that has already accumulated some dust and dirt.

7. Update your mailing address

Be sure to update your mailing address in advance so that your letters and packages are sent to the correct address. You should also update your address on your driver's license, insurance card and any other important information.

8. Check the condition of the house

Before signing the rental or purchase contract, it is important to check the condition of the house carefully. Make sure that all the facilities are in good condition and that there are no major problems that need to be resolved.

9. Get to know your neighbors

Once you have settled into your new home, take the time to get to know your neighbors. This will help you establish friendly relationships and can be very helpful in case of emergencies. At Condominio El Canal, the community is small and strong. Everyone knows everyone and everyone supports each other. As we are a residential community that is just starting to grow, it is very typical to meet others looking to meet others. It is a friendly space and the neighbors are all very friendly.

Conclusion

In summary, moving to a new home can be an exciting but stressful experience. If you plan ahead, pack appropriately, hire a reliable moving company, and have a good moving experience, you will be able to move to a new home.
