Who do I need to inform when I move house?

[rouge59]

Moving house soon for the 1st time in 22 years so I'm a bit out of the loop who I need to tell about my change of address.

So far I've thought of:

Bank.
Utilities..
Council.
Credit cards.
DVLA.
Insurance.
Pensions.
Broadband.
Mobile phone providers.
TV licensing.


Any more I'm missing?

Ta in advance.

Employers
Doctors/Dentists/Opticians etc
Online accounts
Sports clubs/hobbies/memberships to anything
Royal Mail if you want to get post redirected

Maybe your wife, but I wouldn't bother with the kids as they'll find you eventually.

Cheers chaps; we don't have employers & I'll be selling our current house over the next few months so mail redirection won't be an issue, but thanks for the other suggestions.

Any more?

NHS
Doctor
Dentist
Friends and Relatives
Paypal account
Amazon account
Store cards/catalogues

I'm moving in a couple of weeks so here's my list if it helps... (I'm happy to have someone point out anything I've missed!)

DVLA - driving license
Car insurance
Car loan company
Gas/Electric supplier
TV license
Council tax
Water company
House insurance

For everything else, I'll be using hte poist office redirection service for a while to mop up.

Professional organisations.
Anyone you subscribe to (magazine subscriptions? National Trust? etc)

Any old ISAs etc you don't access often? (I told my main bank but had to change an ISA a year later because I'd forgotten to change it with the others...)

Try Uswitch or similar utility search when you move. What's cost effective for utilities where you are doesn't necessarily apply to after you move.

Probably most are already covered, but Google 'moving checklist' and there's loads of sites that can give you a run down on what's required.

We used the following when we moved, as it gives a nice timetable of when to do things - https://checklist.moveme.com/house_move.

If you go for mail redirection sort that before you change your bank details as last time I did it they needed the bank card you pay with to be on the old address. Didn't catch me out but if you're the forgetful type and go to get mail redirected later then it could be a hassle.

This is our last from a few months ago if it helps:

European Health Insurance
TV license
Council tax
Contents insurance
Council resident sticker
Car insurance
Car breakdown
Banks
Driving licence
V5
eBay
Work
Pension
Healthcare
PayPal
Dentist
Optician
Doctor
Apple ID
eBuyer
Mobile phone
Phone insurance
Amazon
Nectar card
Tesco clubcard
Go Outdoors
Decathlon
Zenfolio
Domain name
Adobe sub
Public Liability insurance
Gym
Matalan
Boots
Body shop
ikea

ETA

Even though it was a joint account and the bank changed her address on it they had a different address for me so that needed changing separately. Worth checking if you're with Halifax.
