Who this new homeowner checklist is for
This checklist is for new homeowners who have just picked up the keys and want to settle in smoothly. It suits first-time buyers, families who moved to a new area and people who bought an older home with plenty of quirks. The first weeks in a new house are busy and exciting, and a clear checklist makes sure safety tasks, utilities and important locations are sorted before small problems become big ones.
How to use your new homeowner checklist
Work through the week one list, such as changing locks, testing alarms and setting up utilities. Record where the water shut-off, breaker panel, gas valve and filters are on the locations page. Follow the seasonal maintenance list so gutters, heating and cooling get attention at the right time. List projects in order of priority. Keep trusted contractors on the contacts page, and track costs so you can plan a realistic home budget.

Is there a seasonal maintenance list?
Yes. Look for the "Seasonal Upkeep" page in the 11-page new homeowner checklist. Download it free, print only the pages you need and add more copies of any page later. Print the A4 or US Letter PDF as often as you need, or write in the digital version on a tablet.
Can I plan home projects?
Yes. Look for the "Know Your Home" and "Project Wish List" pages in the 11-page new homeowner checklist. Print the A4 or US Letter PDF as often as you need, or write in the digital version on a tablet. Every page is undated, so you can start any day and reprint a page whenever it fills up.
