Buying
for a new home owner
Looking for a gift for
someone in the process of
buying a new home? Of
course, you could go for the
traditional house-warming
gifts of plants or photo
frames. However, you might
want to give something
different, or know that the
person needs a gift earlier
than their house-warming.
So
here are some gift ideas:
-
Pay for their
conveyancing, either
directly or via a
voucher. This is a very
practical gift that
involves you in the
buying process.
-
Get keys cut for their
house. Many people like
to change the locks in
their new home for
security so they may
need more keys cut - or
you could pay for the
locksmith.
-
Hire a truck/van,
packing cases or a
removalist team to help
them move in as this is
often a difficult
expense after buying a
house.
-
Clean the house for them
to move into - or their
old home once they've
emptied it. If cleaning
isn't your thing,
consider paying a
professional!
-
Help them sort through
their belongings and get
rid of whatever in no
longer needed. You may
even drop it at the tip
or hire a skip for them.
-
Buy or make curtains to
suit the new home - or
get the curtain rails!
Hanging curtains will
make their new house a
home quicker than
pinning up some sheets!
