The true cost of moving home

By Sarah Modlock

  • Get your paperwork in order and shred any documents you're not going to move with you.
  • Check your credit file online to see what information is held about you.
  • Inform lenders of any unused credit facilities that can be closed.
  • Check for old catalogues you've used to buy things in the past and inform the supplier that you are moving.
  • When you get to your new home, register on the Electoral Roll at your new address immediately.
  • Make a list of every financial company you deal with and inform them of your change of your address.
  • Contact the Royal Mail and arrange for your mail to be re-directed to your new address for a year. This will also give you a chance to cancel anything you don't want and send your new address to anyone you have forgotten.
  • Consider registering free with the Mailing Preference Service. They will ensure your name is removed from direct marketing lists at your previous address.
