PLANNING AHEAD
The ultimate
home mover
checklist
Moving day is finally here! You’ve planned, organised,
found the perfect moving company, packed everything
up, donated what you don’t need, and are ready to get out of
your old place and into your new home. However, there’s still
a few things left to do before you can say goodbye. To help
you out, we’ve complied a moving day checklist with a list of
things that need to be taken care of in the run up to - and on
the day of - your move.
2-4 Weeks before moving day
Packing
Throw away unwanted items
and begin packing two weeks
before the moving date. Think
of investing in some boxes and
moving kits.
Vehicle Registration
Send the appropriate section
of your Vehicle Registration
Document to the DVLA.
Bank
Notify your bank that you are
moving and ask to transfer your
account to a nearer branch.
TV Licence
Fill the change of address part of
your existing licence.
Credit/Store Cards
Notify your bank that you are
moving and ask to transfer your
account to a nearer branch.
Doctor / Dentist / Optician
You may need to unregister if you
are moving far away. Otherwise
notify a change of address.
Card Protection Insurers
Fill in the change of address
section of your last statement
when returning it.
National Insurance / DSS
Write to your local DSS office.
They will need your full name,
DOB, and National Insurance
number.
Mail Redirection
The Royal Mail needs five days’
notice for redirection. Do this at
the Post Office or online.
Schools
Notify your children’s schools of
their leaving date. Advise the new
schools as soon as possible.
