Will you soon be moving house? If so, you may be wondering what exactly you need to do. You might know you need to transfer your utilities such as gas and electricity, but have you let DVLA know your new address or registered with a new GP? There’s a lot to think about when relocating and it can be easy to forget to complete key tasks. Read our checklist of things to do when you move into a new house now.  Arrange postal redirection  One of the first things to do when you move into a new house is to arrange redirection of your post. Setting up a temporary mail redirection service with the Royal Mail ensures that you receive any mail sent to your old address. This means you won’t need to worry about important documents and bills failing to reach you at your new property.  Notify relevant institutions of your new address As well as updating your address with Royal Mail, there are several other institutions and organised you need to inform. These include Government agencies like HMRC, DWP and the DVLA, financial providers like banks and credit card companies, and utility providers like gas, electricity and water.  Assess your home’s security  When you move into a new home, we strongly recommend evaluating its security. As well as changing the locks on doors, you may also want to check that the property’s security features like alarm systems are set up properly. Read on to find out more.
