Relocating to any new city can be pretty stressful, but we have something that’ll make the move a tad bit easier!

Moving to a new city is a very exciting change for most of us—new places, new house, new job, new people and new surroundings. It can get very challenging if you aren’t prepared for it. 

Delhi is known to be a fast-paced city where you get to enjoy the best of everything—delicious street food, shopping streets, exciting nightlife, rich culture, and beautiful infrastructure. It is a great place to move to. 

Relocating to Delhi can be challenging but with the right preparation, you can make it a fun experience. You might be moving because you got a new job, your spouse got a transfer, you want to stay closer to your family or just because you love the city. Whatever the reason may be, you need to be prepared to make the big move.

Here are some tips to consider before moving to Delhi:


Research, research, and research

Research is the one thing that will help you make the move a little less stressful. A good way to start your research would be talking to relatives or friends who are already there. If you don’t know anybody who lives in Delhi, do not worry. There is nothing that you can’t find online. Read as much as you can about the areas, modes of transport, job opportunities, etc. Find out where your office is located, how the area is and what is the cost of renting a house in that area. If you do not want to stay in the same locality, then look at areas that have easy metro connectivity to your office. That way, you won’t have to worry about your daily commute.


House-hunting

While looking for a house, the main thing you need to consider is the locality and the distance between your home and workplace. However, if you are moving with your family, you might have to take into consideration a lot of other factors like the proximity to a good school, your workplace, your significant other’s workplace, and so on. Figure out exactly what you need and start looking for a house. You can easily start your house-hunt online. You can also speak to a broker if needed, and make an informed decision!

Prepare for the move

Delhi is known for extreme weather conditions—a cold winter and a sweltering summer. A few weeks before you move to Delhi, find out what the weather would be like when you reach there and carry your clothing accordingly.
While packing your stuff, ensure that all the boxes are properly labeled. Try not to pack everything you own. Make a list of things that you will absolutely need and pack only those items. Read reviews about different movers and packers to find the most trusted service.
If you have rented your furniture and appliances from RentoMojo, then you won’t have anything to worry about as RentoMojo provides free relocation.


Settling in

At this point, you may feel like all the tedious work is done and all you have to do is just settle in. But this might be one of the most tedious tasks in the whole process of moving to a new city. Try not to unpack everything at once. Do it one room at a time, this way you won’t feel too overwhelmed. Place the labeled boxes in the respective rooms and start with one room and one box at a time. This way, it won’t be too time-consuming and you won’t feel burdened as well. After moving, start setting up your WiFi, get a gas connection, go grocery shopping, find a housemaid and spend time in turning the house into your home.
Don’t have furniture or appliances yet? Rent it from RentoMojo. 


Experiencing Dilli

Now that you are all settled in, start exploring the beautiful city. Get a taste of the amazing street food, go shopping at the famous shopping streets in Delhi, experience the amazing nightlife and don’t forget to socialize.
Explore your neighboring areas, say hello to your neighbors and make new friends. Keep an eye out for exciting events happening in the city and take in all the beautiful things that Delhi has to offer. Remember, the goal is to not just relocate and survive but to build a new, comfortable home and thrive.
