When moving to a villa or a terraced house, you need to arrange this:
Register your new address with the Swedish Tax Agency
It is mandatory to register your new address with the Swedish Tax Agency if you are going to live there for more than six months.
Hire move help and move cleaning
We recommend that you hire a quality-assured moving company. Managing the move and the move cleaning on your own is both heavy and time-consuming, but of course, not impossible.
Get moving boxes and pack all your things
Get electricity, internet and insurance for your new home
Do not forget to cancel your current agreements to avoid double billing.
You may also need to arrange this when moving to a villa or terraced house:
Sign up for a subscription for waste collection
You do this by contacting the municipality.
Bonus tip! You can often lower your cost by sorting food waste and choosing a less frequent waste collection interval.
Get a home alarm system
It is quite common to install an alarm system when moving to a villa. At flyttsmart.se, you will find one of the market's best offers.
Check that the ownership for water and sewer has been changed
The seller is responsible for reading the water meter and reporting the change of ownership for water and sewer on the day he moves out. If you want to, you can contact the actor responsible for water and sewage in the area – usually the municipality – and double-check that the change of ownership has been made.
Contact the provider of district heating
District heating is an economical and sustainable alternative to heating, which is common in villas. Contact the provider in good time if the villa you are moving to has district heating.
Contact the provider of gas
Gas heating is not very common anymore - only 1 in 100 houses in Sweden has gas heating today. If the villa you are moving to has gas heating, you should contact the gas provider no later than 30 days before the move.
Set a garden budget
As a new homeowner, you probably also have a plot of land to take care of. Regardless of how small or large your garden and ambition level are, it is always wise to start planning for necessary investments well in advance.
