Your checklist to prepare for your move
You have just purchased a property and are you moving quickly? It's time to take the final steps before starting your new life! Tell me about Paris and give you some tips to make sure you don't forget anything.
Change your address after buying a property
Buying a house or an apartment involves an impending move. The change of address at La Poste is essential so that you can receive your mail in your new cozy nest. The mail forwarding service is useful for automatically forwarding all of your letters if you have not yet had time to provide your new address to most senders. Do you subscribe to newspapers or magazines? Tell the editors if you have not subscribed to the mail forwarding contract offered by La Poste mentioned above. We advise you to quickly notify the multiple organizations you are dealing with when you move:
- Energy providers (gas, electricity and water)
- Telephone operator
- Internet service provider
- Banks and insurance companies
- Social organizations (CPAM, CAF, mutual insurance, pension fund, employment center...)
- Tax authorities (income taxes, housing tax, property tax...)
Good to know: the government offers you the opportunity to Change your address online in order to simultaneously declare your new contact details to the main services mentioned above. This solution will allow you to save precious time!
Prepare for your move with peace of mind
Have you just purchased a property in town? Remember to check that several parking spaces are available near your new cocoon. If this is not the case, we advise you to apply for a parking permit at the town hall where you depend. Municipal road services can then provide you with several signs to reserve one or two places on the day of your move. It will also be time to mobilize your loved ones and rent a truck to transport your furniture and boxes! If no one is available, you can of course use professional movers.
Once all these reservations have been validated, you can take the time to finalize your boxes and empty your closets and furniture. To find your way around more easily, write down their content and the name of the corresponding piece in a marker. If you have purchased an apartment, you should also already think about taking care of your new neighbors... To do this, prepare small posters to stick in the hall of your future building to warn them of your move in. They will appreciate being warned and will better cope with any noises generated!
Anticipate the inventory of fixtures when leaving your old home
If you were a tenant, it is essential to put your home back in good condition or even to do some work to restore it to its beauty: plug holes, repaint a wall or change the light bulbs, etc. The inventory represents the final step before saying goodbye once and for all to your old home! By setting a date in advance with the owner, you can prepare for it in the best possible way. After your move, a major cleaning is required! Do not hesitate to get help from your loved ones or by a team of professionals if necessary since this step is essential.
