HELPFUL HINTS ON THINGS TO DO BEFORE MOVING IN

Insurance
Make sure you have the property you purchased insured as soon as possible after paying the deposit. Some insurance companies issue policies over the phone but require payment within 21 days. Seek advice from your Solicitor if you have any queries.

Furniture Removal
There are a number of furniture removers in Victoria, most of which are listed in the Yellow pages. Those who are members of the Victoria Removers Association
1800 671 806 or admin@afra.com.au are governed by a code of conduct.

Furniture is not generally covered by your normal insurance during the removal. Some removers will organise insurance for you, or have their own insurance.

Electricity/Gas
Generally power/gas can be connected with 2 days of application, however where possible, please allow at least 3 days notice. If you are moving into a newly built home, more notice is required.

Connections can be made on the customer service hotline, which operates 24 hours. A standard connection fee is $35-$39 for electricity and $10 for gas. (Note these are only estimates and may vary please check with your provider for exact costs)
