Congratulations on collecting the keys to your new apartment! 🎉 This is an exciting milestone, and with the right preparation, you can make the transition to your new home seamless. Here’s a step-by-step guide on what to do next:
1. Inspect Your Apartment
Before making any changes, thoroughly inspect your new space.
- Check for defects: Look for any issues like uneven flooring, misaligned doors, or water seepage. If there are any problems, report them to the relevant MCST/BSC.
- Ensure fixtures are in place: For resale apartments, confirm that all agreed-upon fixtures and fittings are intact and functional.
2. Set Up Utilities
- Register for electricity, water, and gas services with Singapore Power (SP).
- Not using gas? If you don’t plan to use gas, make sure to contact the gas provider to terminate the service (only the home owner can do this).
3. Plan for Renovation
If you’ve already engaged a trusted interior designer and contractor (like us!), you can get started on your renovation sooner rather than later. We’ll help you kick off the process quickly, so you can move in sooner.
If you haven’t, now is the time to:
- Set a budget: Define a renovation budget that suits your style and needs.
- Hire professionals: Work with an interior designer and contractor who understand your vision.
4. Plan Your Appliances, Furniture and Layout
While renovations are in progress, take measurements and start planning your furniture layout and appliances purchases. Knowing where everything will go will help you move in with ease once the work is complete. (Hint, we assist you with these at Studio Lagom!)
5. Coordinate Timelines
Work with your renovation team to finalize the timeline. If you’ve already engaged us, we’ll coordinate everything to ensure the work progresses smoothly and stays on track.
6. Set Up Connectivity
Arrange for internet and TV services early, so you don’t have to worry about connectivity once you’re ready to settle in.
7. Celebrate Your New Space
Once renovations are complete and you’ve settled in, take a moment to enjoy the space we’ve designed together.
Starting the renovation process early with a trusted team can save you time and effort. If you’re looking for experts to help you bring your vision to life, get in touch with us today! Let’s create a home you’ll love. 🏡
