Relocating to/in Calgary
You bought a new home in Calgary and you have to move. This
can be frustrating for the new homebuyer. To make this part
easier develop a checklist of all the things that will be required
to make the move. Below are some considerations.
Book the movers:
You can choose to have the movers pack everything, or just the
breakables, or you can pack yourself. It's a good idea to obtain
estimates from several different companies.
If you own your present home:
Arrange to have your gas, water, and electric meters read
on the day you leave and have the bills forwarded to your new
address.
Have your oil tank read and filled before your sale closes,
and provide a receipt to your legal professional if required.
If the water heater or furnace is rented, arrange for a transfer
of the rental agreement to the purchaser.
Disconnect your telephone, cable TV, and water softener.
If you rent your present home:
Give necessary written notice to your landlord and make arrangements
for the return of any monies you have on deposit.
