It&#8217;s worth taking care of your change of address, insurance, electricity contract, and other practical matters well in advance.<br\/>When you plan ahead, the moving day itself becomes considerably easier.<\/p><h3>1. Report your change of address<\/h3><p>Remember to report your change of address before moving. You can easily do this online at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.posti.fi\/muuttaminen\/muuttoilmoitus\">the Digital and Population Data Services Agency<\/a>.<br\/>When you report your new address in good time, important letters and other mail will find their way to your new home.<\/p><h3>2. Set a budget and get home insurance<\/h3><p>Moving into your own home brings new monthly expenses. In addition to rent, you&#8217;ll spend money on things like electricity, insurance, food, and other everyday costs.<br\/>Create a monthly budget of your income and expenses so you know how much money you have left to spend.<br\/>Remember to also get home insurance for your new home.<\/p><h3>3. Start packing well in advance<\/h3><p>Well-planned packing makes moving considerably easier. Start by going through your belongings and thinking about what you really want to bring to your new home.<br\/>Donate or recycle the things you no longer need. Pack similar items together and clearly label the moving boxes with the room they belong to.<br\/>Don&#8217;t pack boxes too full or too heavy. This makes them easier to carry and keeps your belongings better protected during the move.<\/p><h3>4. Think about what you need for your first home<\/h3><p>You don&#8217;t need to get everything for your first home at once. Start with the most important items and gradually fill out your home.<br\/>Think about what you need for the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and cleaning. A small toolkit can also come in handy in your new home.<\/p><h3>5. Need more space?<\/h3><p>Your first home might not be very big. If all your belongings don&#8217;t fit, you don&#8217;t have to sell or throw everything away.<br\/>In a storage unit, you can keep things like furniture, moving boxes, hobby equipment, and other items you don&#8217;t need on a daily basis.<br\/>At Pelican, you&#8217;ll find storage units in various sizes, so you can choose the space that suits your needs exactly.<\/p> <h3>Make your move easier<\/h3><p>Moving into your first home is an exciting stage of life. When you take care of practical matters in advance, pack systematically, and plan your new home&#8217;s needs ahead of time, the move goes considerably more smoothly.<br\/>If your new home doesn&#8217;t have room for all your belongings, Pelican offers a flexible storage solution for both short and longer periods.<\/p><h5><a href=\"https:\/\/pelican.fi\/en\/locations\/\">Find storage<\/a><\/h5><h3>Frequently asked questions<\/h3><h4>How much does moving into your own home cost?<\/h4><p>Moving costs depend on factors such as your housing type, rental deposit, moving service, and how much furniture and other items you need to acquire. It&#8217;s a good idea to make a budget well in advance of moving.<\/p><h4>What do I need for my first home?<\/h4><p>Start with the most important items. Think about what you need for the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and cleaning. You don&#8217;t have to get everything at once\u2014you can build up your home gradually.<\/p><h4>What should I remember before moving?<\/h4><p>Remember at least your change of address, home insurance, and an electricity contract if needed.
