So you have moved house into your new Darwin residence.The move went well and you thank the removalists. What comes next?

Take Photos

Photos of bare and unadorned rooms? Yep. If you’re renting, these are essential when the time comes to get your security deposit back. Photos are also important if you bought a new home, since a fair amount of time may have passed between the inspection and when the previous owner finally took a powder. If any damage occurred in the interim, or the movers scratched a previously pristine floor, document it. A gallery of pictures taken before your furniture makes it inside will be worth a thousand words—and maybe more than a couple of bucks—should you need to point out damage.

Check your belongings for breakage

If you hired movers to either pack or move your belongings, “you have a limited amount of time to report any suspected damage or missing items,” says Peter Cameron of Camco Transports. “Make sure that if your white goods were moved”—such as a refrigerator, washer or dryer—“they still function as they should. Review your contract to determine liability coverage if you discover a problem.”\

Figure out when and where to leave your rubbish

As you unpack, you’ll be eager to get rid of the rubbish, so finding out from your landlord, body corporation or neighbors when and where you can do that is key. “You won’t want to miss pickup day when you’ve got piles of cardboard lying around,” says Peter Cameron of Camco Transports. ABC radio also broadcast bin days, also you can check with Darwin, Palmerston or Litchfield Council web sites.
