London
removals especially can be frantic. Even when you have a
professional removal firm on board, our helpful checklist will help
ensure your move is smooth.
Money
matters
There’s
always something that seems to slip your mind, especially when you
are packing up your life. Stumbling over old photos or letters can
lead to flights of fancy reminiscing about past times and friends.
It’s an emotional time and all too often, the practicalities can be
cast aside when it comes to removals; London can be a distracting
place.
Remember:
• Talk to
your bank. You will need to ensure they have your change of address
so any confidential information doesn’t end up being posted out to
the wrong person.
• If you have a building society, make sure they know the moving
date and have your new contact details.
• Credit card companies. Update your address.
• Sort out your council tax – you never know you might be due a
rebate. You will need to give the name of the new buyer in order to
close your account. Remember to sort out your new council tax as
soon as you move.
• Any insurance you have – make sure all your insurers are
notified.
• Your employer should also be updated, especially if you have a
company pension.
Getting
connected
Sorting
out your gas and electricity is crucial when it comes to removals;
London has a fast moving population and if you make a mistake, the
new occupier could have moved on before you had a chance to rectify
it. Take a note of all readings and inform your suppliers of these
readings.
Remember:
• Gas
• Electricity
• Any products you are renting – such as your TV
• Your TV license will need updating
• Telephone
• Water supply
• Post Office – if you want your mail redirected
Health
check
When it comes to
removals, London can be a frantic place and it’s easy to forget
about doctors and dentists when your health is the last thing on
your mind. Often you will have to register with a doctor or dentist
during working hours and it can be all too easy to let it slide
until you are ill. Register with your new doctor, dentist and
optician as soon as you can.
Bits and Bobs
There are
other notifications you may have to make depending on your
lifestyle – when it comes to removals, London folk may not
necessarily have to think about newspaper deliveries or milk
rounds, but sports club membership might be an issue.
