Washer is pretty trivial; hot hose on hot, cold hose on cold, plug in the socket, use the screw-feet to get it some semblance of level, fire up a "warm" cycle and check for leaks. (Also check to see if "warm" is really "warm".... my apartment has so much more cold pressure that "warm" with both faucets on full isn't even tepid, it's just not freezing.)
Dryer only has two hookups, the big 220V plug and the vent, but OMG the vent can be a PAIN!
Second the previous remark, new hoses and vents and such are probably a good idea. If you need it, the dryer power cord transplant isn't too bad, RTFM that comes with the package and you should be fine. (Basic electrical crash course: Black is hot, white is neutral, green is ground. This goes for wall switches too.) But if you're lucky you won't have to do this.
Oh, and make sure that when the dryer is on, you're actually getting something out the vent. We had to have our general contractor come out with a huge ladder and clear a couple birds' nests out of the vent... you can get these venitian-blind-looking things that go over your vent that keep the birdies out when the dryer is not on. RECOMMENDED! (If there's not one there alreddie. If there is, it's easy to check that you're getting good venting!)
There's a phrase for this... "House poor." New gorgeous house, but your Home Depot credit card is maxed out with all those little things that the place desperately needs...
