Moving house can be a stressful time. Here are some tips to make it easier:
(1) Arrange for redirection of mail in advance, to avoid a delay in receiving important items like bills.
(2) If you have deliveries made to the house such as milk or newspapers, give several weeks notice to cancel them, and rearrange them for your new address.
(3) Arrange to have your meters read in your current address, and pay the final bills.
(4) When packing, try and pack items in boxes according the rooms they are from.
(5) Have a good clear out before you move; give unwanted items to charity shops.
(6) Make sure that your belongings are insured when in transit.
(7) Arrange for telephone, internet and television to be connected in your new address.
(8) Give out your new address to all relevant companies, such as banks and credit card companies, and your family and friends.
(9) Have a cash float available to deal with unexpected expenses.
(10) When you arrive, check for loss or damage immediately.
