Move-in day is one of the most exciting milestones in the journey to your new home — but it can also feel a little overwhelming without the right preparation.

At Robertson Homes North East, we know how important it is for this day to go smoothly. That’s why we’ve created a handy move-in day checklist to help you stay organised and stress-free, while we take care of the rest.

Here’s everything you need to know to make move-in day easy — with a little help from the team at Robertson Homes.

✔️ Confirm Your Moving Date Early

One of the most important steps is locking in your move-in date with your solicitor and removals team. Robertson Homes will keep you updated every step of the way, so you know exactly when your new home will be ready.

✔️ Pack Essentials Separately

Keep a “first night” essentials box handy. Include items like toiletries, chargers, tea/coffee, snacks, a change of clothes, bedding, and important documents. Having this box easily accessible makes your first evening more comfortable — especially when everything else is still in boxes.

✔️ Label and Organise Boxes

Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it belongs in. This helps movers know where to place things, saving you time and energy later. If you’ve chosen one of Robertson Homes’ spacious layouts, you’ll find unpacking and settling in even easier.

✔️ Take Meter Readings

Remember to take final readings from your previous home and new readings at your Robertson home. This makes setting up utility accounts much simpler.

✔️ Update Your Address

Start updating your address with banks, utility providers, doctors, and subscriptions a week or two before your move. Robertson Homes also provides a helpful guide of who to notify — so you don’t miss a thing.

✔️ Meet Your New Home

Before completion, we’ll give you a full home demonstration, showing you how everything works — from heating systems to smart features. On move-in day, your new home will be clean, secure, and ready for you to enjoy.

✔️ Relax — We’ve Got You Covered

At Robertson Homes North East, we don’t just build award-winning homes — we build peace of mind. Our dedicated customer care team is here to support you before, during, and after move-in day. From welcome packs to aftercare, we’re with you every step of the way.
