There’s going to be a lot of little items to contend with once you find a place to move into, whether you buying for the first time, relocating across town, the city province or to a new province. It can be stressful and at times a bit overwhelming if you think of it getting it all done all at once. So let’s relax a bit and take a breathe.
Below are some necessities and quite a few that may not pertain to your particular scenario, and I am sure I won’t be able to list them all. If there are some you encounter that I did not mention. Please keep in mind that most of what I am providing are in the areas I work. I’ll gradually add more but in the meantime, I’d much appreciate if if you could send me a note or make a comment in the section provided that could potentially help others.
