Who To Tell You’re Moving Home

Make sure you speak to your bank too, the last thing you want is for bank statements to arrive at your old home and you especially don’t want new bank cards being sent their either so make sure you contact your bank and get your address changed with them.

If you have any standing orders or direct debits you will need to contact all the companies and people you pay through these and give them your new address so they can change it on their systems.

Don’t forget the loyalty cards – you’ve worked hard to collect all those loyalty points so don’t waste it by letting the company send the vouchers, coupons and points to your old address where you won’t be able to use them.

You need to tell the school where your children go too, so they can make sure you get any letters you need but be aware you may need to change schools if you are moving your child out of the catchment area of the school.

Of course energy, gas and other utility suppliers will also need to know even if you are not taking them to the new property because they will need to give you your final bill or set up your account at your new property for you.

You also need to let your employer know so they send your payslips to the right address along with people like the Council Tax, Inland Revenue, DSS Benefits and Pension. Plus, you will need to contact your doctors, dentists and opticians to move to a new place nearer to your home and don’t forget to get your insurances sorted out and changed too!
