It’s that time of the year when a lot of house shifting takes place. Mumbai real estate is witnessing a good shift in momentum over the last few months in terms of buyers investing in new properties. However, the process does not end after buying a new home. School admissions, office transfers, packing & moving stuff are a few things to address before you decide to move to a new home in the city.

Before you move into your new abode, make sure you set it up a bit as per your choice. Get the walls painted as you have always imagined them to be. Not just the walls if you have existing furniture like cupboards, coffee tables, etc that you would be taking to your new home, make sure you give them a new look.

With subscriptions to various monthly services like milk, mail, newspapers & magazines, it is important to notify them all about the address change. Most people forget to get these subscriptions changed to their new address which later on can ask you to utilize your time on this rather than acclimatizing to your new abode.

Categorise items like clothes, books, utensils, etc & pack them in different cartons with labels pasted on them so that it helps you while unpacking as well. Pack fragile items in bubble wraps. Take the help of good movers & packers to shift all your heavy-duty furniture and other home appliances

Once you receive the keys to your new place, it is extremely important to get all the locks changed. Because during the shifting process, you lend your keys to so many people working on different things in your place, that they can easily be duplicated. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Once you control the locks of your home, you also control the safety that comes along with it.

Things like ACs, CCTV cameras, new furniture installation, bathroom fittings, etc should get installed while the place is empty so that it is less chaotic with family members & other stuff around in the new home.
