First time house buyers need to make several practical arrangements after their deal goes through. Changing address means updating records in a number places as well as finding a new doctor and dentist, for example. Insurance should be considered with several competing quotes. Home maintenance will need to be planned, which can be a new responsibility to get used to after renting. The new house’s locks should be changed and pictures taken before moving in. It is also worth booking a moving company well in advance and considering practical arrangements needed for the move.

Key Takeaways:

• update all existing records such as doctors, dental, school, etc
• change the looks on the new property as many people could have keys to the existing lock
• take photos of the house before moving in to support any future insurance claims

“Buying your first home is an exciting, important, and sometimes stressful experience. But if you can get all your ducks in a row, it could also be one of the best of your life.”
