When Should You Order Furniture After Getting Possession? The Honest Timeline
Most people think about furniture the week they get their keys. That's usually four to eight weeks too late — and at least six months too early to buy everything.

You've been waiting for this moment — the builder has finally handed over the keys. The flat is yours. But it's also bare concrete, half-painted walls, and the faint smell of construction. And you suddenly realise you haven't thought about furniture at all.
The honest timeline
- 8–12 weeks before possession — confirm sofa, dining and bed. Your SOISU ready-by date is written on your order, and SOISU holds finished furniture free for up to 30 days until your home is ready.
- Possession week — receive the anchor furniture (sofa, bed, dining).
- Month 2 — armchairs, side tables, coffee table.
- Month 4–6 — accent pieces, rugs, art.
