No date has been set for the Premier's big move to Clifton, the official residence for the head of Government.
The Ministry of Works and Engineering is preparing the house for Alex Scott but has not set a move in date yet as maintenance work is still being carried out.
Mr. Scott said: "It is a timeline that best suits Works and Engineering. I am in no hurry to move."
The Premier visited the property about two weeks ago and said: "It is beginning to take shape. Police have the security unit there, but wiring for the security system still needs to be done."
Clifton, located on Middle Road, Devonshire, was the former official residence of the Chief Justice but will now become the official residence of the Premier.
Mr. Scott said he believes it will be a nice cottage for him and future Premiers to live.
