Relocating Kit - Checklist to ensure your move goes as smoothly as possible
- Finalise the date that you are going to move and give notice to your landlord if you are living in rented accommodation.
- Decide whether you want to move yourself or have a removal company give you a helping hand, book the removal company as soon as you know the date.
- When packing consider things that you will need right up until the move that you needn't pack - i.e. kettle, cups to keep you in tea whilst dragging your boxes around. You might want to consider colour coding and labelling boxes well to ensure you know how to find important things easily when unpacking.
- Redirect mail, you need to do this at least 7 days before the move to ensure that your redirection is set up ready. You might want to inform some contacts as well as redirecting your mail - such as:
- Your employer
- School
- Doctor and dentist
- Credit card companies and bank
- Council Tax department
- Utilities, electricity, gas and water
- TV Licence Company
- Membership organisations
- Insurance companies for house and cars
- Local health club
- DVLR
- Telephone Company
