    NEW HOME CHECKLIST - WEEK 1
    1) Cut a spare set of keys & leave them with a friend.
    2) Check you have a Smoke Detector & Carbon Monoxide Detector in place and working - and ensure you have had a recent gas safety inspection. Contact your local fire service to see if they offer a safety inspection.
    3) Organise Contents Insurance if you feel you need it, and Buildings Insurance if you are a homeowner.

    5) Scan or Photograph any important documents and email them to yourself.
    6) Write down the date you moved in and keep a record of it somewhere you can find it in years to come.
    7) Mention any problems to your landlord or leaseholder rather than waiting.
    8) Introduce yourself to your neighbours.
    9) Locate your Stop Cock & Fuse Box

    I’m 22 and from Yorkshire, very proud to say I’ve bought my first home! I’ve saved all my own money to buy it without any help :) thank you for these tips, they really have helped.

    I’m an estate agent but, only just brought my own home. Should be moved in within 3months.
    The constant thing we get asked by first time buyers is a list of things to buy everyone forgets like tin openers, spare light bulbs etc .... I think many would benefit from a similar video

    Another tip would be if your viewing house, and you really like it, very quickly measure everything daft ... the letting agent might have a floor plan but they won't have daft stuff like 'fridge spot', 'bed spot', 'sofa space' ... like measure out where stuff would go ... that way if you have a couple of weeks before your move in date you can go buy plenty of stuff ready to move in

      That's a great tip guys & then you can also utilise your removal van to collect any bulky purchases on the day of your move! :) Thank you for sharing.

    Just bought our first home after 3 years renting, moving in within the next few weeks so exciting! Thank you for this video it helped a LOT x

    First few things I would do (not in any particular order) is remove the For Sale / Sold sign and place it somewhere visible for estate agent to pick up. Then, would tidy up at front of the house like cut the hedge or tidy up the front garden. I would then take the meter readings. If you have time, it might be an idea to have a checklist of things you need to do before you move in (ie. get your post redirected, make sure wifi/internet is connected on the day you move in etc. Enjoyed your video ! Keep up the good work !!!

    Love the tips but bear in mind in a lot of UK rentals the contract prohibits spare keys being cut. So read your contract first! X
