The keys are yours. Now what?

Collecting the keys is the best day of any purchase. The weeks that follow are full of small tasks, and getting them in the right order makes the move feel effortless.

Week one

— Activate DEWA for water and electricity

— Register chiller and gas accounts if your building needs them

— Book internet installation early, as slots fill quickly

The first month

Complete any snagging works, register for community access and confirm your service charge schedule. If you plan to rent the home out, register the tenancy contract through Ejari.

Settling in

Use the first three months to get to know your building management and neighbours. A good relationship with the community team pays off for years.
