Hi,

Would you classify this phrase as a natural sentence?

I hope you have got settled in your new home.

Thanks,
Torsten

Hi Torsten,

I would say: I hope you've now settled in your new home Or to amplify it a bit: I hope you're now well and truly settled in your new home.

Alan

Torsten, that sentence would be completely natural for Americans, except that we'd say "gotten" instead of "got".
