Top five must-do activities on the first day in your new home
At Allison Homes, we get it—moving can be a whirlwind of stress and excitement. But once you’ve crossed the finish line and stepped through the front door of your brand-new home, it’s time to savour that moment. With all the hard work behind you, you deserve to start this new chapter on a high note. So, in celebration of National Moving Day on 19th August, we’ve put together our top five must-dos for making your first day in your new home truly unforgettable.
Find your new favourite takeaway
After a long day of unpacking its unlikely that you’ll be up for cooking dinner, especially if some of the pots and pans have yet to be found. This is a great opportunity to discover your new favourite takeaway, so remember to change your address on your delivery apps and try the highly rated options near you.
Meet your neighbours
It’s important to get off on the right foot with the people you’ll be living next to, so make the effort to introduce yourself to your neighbours early. It could be the start of a great friendship, and they may even be able to help you with a recommendation for your takeaway.
Break in the bathroom
After a day of moving boxes, nothing says “home sweet home” like taking a moment to yourself on your new throne. It’s the perfect way to unwind and officially claim your space. Just make sure you’ve unpacked the toilet paper first—because that’s one box you definitely don’t want to be searching for at the last minute.
Find the best place for a selfie
You’ll want to remember this day and share your updates with friends and family. Make sure you locate the best lighting and backdrop in your new home and get the perfect snaps for your moving day posts and stories!
Toast your success
Finally moving into your new home is something to celebrate, so take the time to enjoy your achievement and share it with the people close to you. This can be at your new local pub, or simply with some bubbly or nice cuppa in your new home. You’ve earnt it!
