4 Tips for a First Time Homeowner | Collaborative post

Congratulations! You have just closed on your first home. Whether it is a brand new build or a fixer-upper, there are plenty of things to do to make it feel like your own. In this blog, we will walk you through the four most important tips for first-time homeowners. From making repairs and upgrades to understanding your insurance policy, we have you covered. So sit back, relax, and get ready to take on the world as a homeowner!

Get to know your neighbourhood

As a first time homeowner, it is vital to get to know your neighbours. Not only will they be the ones you rely on in case of an emergency, but they can also be an excellent resource for recommendations on home repairs and local businesses. So get involved in your community and attend neighbourhood events. You will be glad you did!

Understand your insurance policy

Before you start making any repairs or upgrades to your home, it is essential to understand your insurance policy. Many first time homeowners are surprised to learn that their policy does not cover certain types of damage, such as flooding. Make sure you are familiar with what is and is not covered so that you can plan accordingly. In addition, there are certain things that must be covered, like Central Heating Cover, which is essential for keeping your home warm in the winter months. If you are not sure where to start, reach out to your insurance agent, and they will be more than happy to help you understand your policy.

Create a maintenance schedule

One of the most important things you can do as a first-time homeowner is to create a maintenance schedule. This will help you keep track of when certain items need to be serviced or replaced, such as your HVAC system or your water heater. By staying on top of your home’s maintenance, you can avoid costly repairs down the road. Your local hardware store or home improvement centre should have plenty of resources available to help you get started. Once you have created your schedule, be sure to stick to it! Set reminders on your phone or on your calendar so that you don’t forget.

Repair or upgrade

When it comes to making repairs or upgrades to your home, it is crucial to weigh the cost versus the benefit. For example, if you have an old appliance that is starting to break down, it may be more cost-effective to replace it rather than repairing it. However, if you have a minor leak in your roof, repairing it now may save you from having to replace your entire roof later. If you are not sure whether you should repair or upgrade, consult with a professional. They will be able to help you make the best decision for your home and your budget. The most important thing is whatever decision you make is doing what’s best for your home in both the short and long run. Take your time to research all of your options so that you can make the best decision for your home.

These are only a few tips that every first-time homeowner should know. Also, don’t forget to enjoy the process! Owning your first home is a big accomplishment, and you should be proud of it. Take the time to personalize your space and make it your own. Before you know it, you will be settled in and feeling right at home. Congratulations again on becoming a homeowner! We wish you all the best in this new chapter of your life.

Thank you so much for reading. It is so exciting being new homeowners so I hope these tips help.

Stay wonderful!

Happiness, Lifestyle and all things wonderful.
I always say that the most important thing in life is happiness, therefore that is what I'd like to share.
I'm an honest, kind and happy person who loves sharing my experiences and real stories to help others like me realise they are not alone in this huge world.
I'm a huge supporter of mental health and body positivity and believe we can change the way society is about these topics together.
Just a small girl in a big world trying to be happy!

Here is my unboxing of my first Pause subscription box in April! 

April was all about reading and finding calm through reading. In order to embrace pausing though reading, this month included a task where we make Pompom book marks.

With green yarn it was lovely to follow the guide and find calm whilst making a little pompom bookmark.
