Did you recently shift to your new house in Aliganj, Lucknow? Moving from Kolkata to Lucknow must have been a roller-coaster ride for you! Irrespective of how you conducted such a long-distance move, the question is how you managed to pull off such a big deal! Well, if it is because of the proficient packers and movers in Kolkata, we would agree and be sure that you must have had a well-managed move and not an overwhelming one! So, big congratulations to you on that front – the new house and the successful move you had to this new place. Now what? How to make this desolate house turn into a fresh, vibrant, lively new home? Fine, in case you do not know that, no need to be anxious because we will be sharing a list of priority things that you should take note of to have a seamless moving experience!
• Inspect delivered packages – Your post-move journey begins soon after the moving team delivers you with the packages of your household items. Take a moment to inspect every carton, every box to see everything within them is safe. Anything that seems out of place could be inquired about, to the movers at that point.
• Have surplus funds with you – Conducting a house move without ample money in your pocket is simply not recommended. So, apart from the moving budget, you should have a significant amount of money to tackle the unforeseen, impromptu expenses that often show up to surprise you during a move.
• Establish the key networks – Ensure the water, power, internet, and cable connections are up and running so you do not feel that you stepped into a dark tunnel and not a place to stay in, for the rest of your life, when you relocate. Reinstate the connections in your new home on time.
• Have the nights' arrangements – Skipping this step is one of the major reasons why people make their post-move time a big mess. You must ensure that your bed is set up first, in your bedroom because where else will you sleep then? After such a back-breaking journey, a good night's sleep is no less than a health capsule!
Unpack gradually, with a plan – if you booked full-service movers, they will help you with the unpacking to a great extent, but in case, you are doing it on your own, have a plan so the overwhelming task does not seem engulfing and painful. Unpack as per priority and try not to rush.
• Set up the kitchen area first – This is one of the most mind-numbing jobs ever but you have to address it first after you move in. You will be required to prepare meals and also to turn on the refrigerator first so the kitchen turns functional. Do these soon and also, organize other kitchen items.
• Clean and systematize the washroom - After you have set up the kitchen section, you should next move to the washroom section and settle it down. Although it will not take much time, all you need to do is give it a deep clean with the cleaning supplies and arrange the toiletries in place.
• Organize paperwork/doc folder – Now that you have reached your new home easily, you must keep back the document binder you prepared ahead of the move. Just have a final look over the deal papers, the payment receipts, and other papers to see everything is there intact. Keep aside those that you curated together just for the move, so you can find them exactly where they belong to.
• Post move checklist is useful – Just like we prepare a to-do list of things before the move, we can prepare a task list to tackle the immediate errands that would come up after the move. For instance, the essentials you will buy, the cleaning specialists you will book, the service providers you would be calling up, etc.
• Prepare or get food ordered – Soon after moving in, nobody has the mood to prepare food to deal with the rest of the day. So, you can get food ordered at your new address or if you can manage, you can cook a light meal for you and the family.
• Discover house details – If you have paid visits to your new home, before finally settling in, it will be good for you as you will be aware of the key areas of the place. Otherwise, have a tour of the entire place after moving in, to locate the power points and the consumer unit.
• Pay attention to home security – Establishing the security setup of your new home is primal. No matter you moved to an apartment or a 3BHK property, the safety of your household must be your priority because it will be good for you and your family, especially your children. So, be aware of that.
• Relax, take a break, delight in – After all this toil, you must exhaust. So, go ahead and pause for a while. Breathe easy. Sit down with your family over tea or coffee, discuss things, revisit old memories, and enjoy. This is very important to get rid of tiredness, not just physically, but mentally.
• Explore and embrace the new – Getting used to a new culture is not easy but it is not that difficult either. All you need to do is open up. Go out, talk to people, and learn more about society's rules and regulations, visit new places of interest with family, have fun!
• Set up your new home – When you have taken care of everything and the post-move blues are a bit settled, get to the unpacking and nearly organization of your new home. There would still be loose ends that should be tied up. So, do that along with your family and enjoy!
This was the complete checklist of the priority tasks that you should be doing after moving. We hope the ideas mentioned were helpful to you and resolved the after-move qualms to a great extent! Also, do not forget to hire the movers and packers in Kolkata to have a tension-free house move.
