For example, if upgrading from an apartment to a villa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Set up or transfer your Du or Etisalat services<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Compare offers for both Du and Etisalat to secure the best value for money possible.

In some instances, you may be prohibited from moving in on certain days of the week, or restricted from using certain lifts or entry points to the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-220\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/guides\/how-to-prepare-for-your-move-in-day\/?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-220\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/guides\/how-to-prepare-for-your-move-in-day\/?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-jetpack-whatsapp\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-jetpack-whatsapp sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/guides\/how-to-prepare-for-your-move-in-day\/?share=jetpack-whatsapp\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on WhatsApp\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once you have finalised and signed your tenancy contract, informed your landlord or real estate agent of your move-in date, and all formalities are out of the way, it\u2019s time to get excited about your new home!
