Find My Man and Van Tell everyone about your new address

There are many people you need to tell about your brand new home - to help you out we've compiled a handy checklist of people you will need to notify when you move.

Find My Man and Van Get your mail re-directed

This is a must to prevent identity theft and other mis-uses of personal data. Through the Royal Mail website you can set up the redirection online. 

- You won't miss important documents
- You’ll help prevent your personal details falling into the wrong hands and becoming a victim of fraud
- You will receive home mover offers

You can redirect your mail to any UK or overseas address for up to 3, 6 or 12 months for each different last name.

Find My Man and Van Take final Meter readings

Gas, water and electricity readings should all be taken at your current property and the relevant suppliers notified.  This will ensure you are not billed for subsequent usage by the new occupiers. 

Most utlilities companies have change of address forms on their sites, however if you are not on a fixed term contract this might be a good time to use of of the many price comparison sites out there to find a better deal!

Find My Man and Van Make sure your new home is insured

When buying a new home it is usual to have buildings insurance as a requirement of the mortgage contract. However even if you are moving to a flat it's always worth protecting your possesions by making sure your man and van driver has enough insurance to cover the full value.

Home insurance can be put in place up to 30 days in advance of your house move, so can be shceduled to start the day you pick up the keys to your new home.

Find My Man and Van Move your TV licence

You will need to change the address on your TV license if you wish to watch TV at your new address.  This can be done online through the TV Licensing web site.

Find My Man and Van Move your broadband

Most broadband providers will be able to change your address online, failing that you will need to call and inform them of your new address.  Whether or not it is possible to move your broadband service it may be time to check out the new deals available in your area through one of the broadband comparison sites out there.

Find My Man and Van Update your car details

There are two things you will need to do ensure that your car is legally registered at your new address :

  • Update the address on your driving license - this can be done on the Gov.uk web site
  • Inform your car insurance company of the bnew address, your premium may change as a result and failure to do so might mean they refuse to pay out on any claim

Find My Man and Van Inform your bank(s) about your house move

All banks, building socities, credit cards and other financial companies will need to know about your move.  This will mean that not only will they be able to contact you about changes or payments but, equally imnportantly, any details they send out will not fall into the wrong hands.

Find My Man and Van Make sure any regular delivery companies know about your move

Anything you have delivered to your home on a regular basis will need to be re-directed to the new address.  This might include magazine or orther subscriptions, DVD rentals, milk/groceries etc.

Find My Man and Van Apply for a parking permit if required

If your new address has residents only parking restrictions you will want to apply for a permit in advance so that you have somewhere to park once the big day arrives.  You can apply for a parking permit through the Gov.uk web site.

Find My Man and Van Make sure you empty the freezer before moving day

To save throwing out a freezer full of food on the day of the move (it's unlikely to survive the moving experience) make sure that you use up as much as possible beforehand.
