What Should Be Renovated Before Moving into a Newly Bought Home?

Before you move in, finish the work that makes dust, cuts off the water and cannot be done with furniture in place: plumbing and wiring, bathroom and kitchen, flooring and paint. Decorative work can be done after you have moved in.

Before moving in

1. Checking the wiring and plumbing and renewing them if needed
2. Layout changes that need demolition, and plasterboard work
3. Bathroom and kitchen renovation
4. Replacing windows and doors
5. Flooring
6. Painting the whole home, ceilings included

What can be done after moving in

• Wallpaper or decorative paint on a single wall
• Curtains, light fittings and accessories
• Balcony and outdoor areas

Three things to do on the day you get the keys

Change the door lock, note the water and electricity meter readings, and photograph every room of the empty home. A survey in an empty home is both quicker and more accurate.

Does a new building need work too?

Usually small jobs: adding sockets, changing the paint colour, adapting the kitchen to your needs. These are easiest before the furniture arrives.

How should the moving date be set?

Set it from the written time in the quote and leave a few days for cleaning. In Bahçeşehir, Beylikdüzü and Başakşehir, Erdağ Yapı surveys empty flats for apartment renovation free of charge.
