Ready to move-in?Don't get too much excited

It's your first time to own a condo unit and it's understandable that you're excited to move-in. Independence, you finally tell yourself. But before you started packing your clothes and call your friends to help you bring your stuff to your new unit, don't forget to keep in mind these four simple and practical tips for a hassle-free “permanent transfer of residence.”

1.Settle your dues first. Developers require owners to pay the necessary charges before they transfer, so make sure to settle the required move-in charges. The move-in charges cover the activation fees for water, electricity, and phone lines so you can use these services readily. Plus, it's less hassle on your part since you don't need to personally apply for these services since your developer will do it for you.

2.Go on an ocular inspection. Weeks or days before you move-in, it's highly suggested to do a last-minute inspection of your unit. Are there cracks on the walls or ceilings? Are the sockets properly installed? Are the faucets and shower running? Check your unit to make sure that it's 100% safe to live. 

Seeing your almost finished house also gives you an idea of what furnishings you still need for your home. Surveying your condo's vicinity is also important especially if you're new to the place. Familiarize yourself with important landmarks nearby such as malls, schools, and churches. Learn how to navigate your way from your new location to your office or shopping mall as early as possible. 

3.Drop by the admin office. During your ocular inspection, don't forget to visit the admin office to make some clarifications or queries regarding the important house rules that's being implemented. Are pets allowed in the building?is there a curfew?are guests allowed? Knowing the rules ahead of time saves you from getting into trouble in the future. 

4.Choose wisely. The idea of condo-living is all about minimalism. Do you really need that 12-seater dining set in your 1-BR unit or is it better to buy a sofa bed for your studio-type unit? Choose slim furniture so your place won't look cluttered and suffocating to live. Bring only the necessary and important things that you need, otherwise leave them behind or give them to your relatives. Better yet, hold a garage sale to get rid and earn money out of them.
