What needs doing? *Numpty alert!*

  • What needs doing? *Numpty alert!*

    This probably makes me sound really stupid so apologies!

    Some people might have noticed from my previous post that we are (hopefully) moving house soon - yay!

    I'm just trying to put together a list of what needs doing/who we need to change address with etc.

    One thing i'm not sure about is Council Tax as this is the first property i've lived in where i've paid it (always been student lets before) so how do i go about stopping paying for this address and starting to pay for the new place?

    The other things is TV licence - we just pay monthly and as far as i know we don't have any actual documents or anything so how do i go about changing the address on that?

    We did our TV licence online from what I remember.They sent us a reminder when it was about to expire and it had all the info on. If not just call them up.

    Banks, drivers licence, GP/Dentist all need notifying, car, car insurance, any other insurance, work, pensions, investments. Also any wedding suppliers you may have booked already will need telling.

    With the Council Tax, ring ahead with the date that you leave your current house and move into the new one, that way there will be no overlap and no risk you could end up paying for your old house - they do refund it but it takes ages.

    Echo PB with the wedding suppliers - especially if you will be leaving from your new address. You can do the TV licence online.

    Mobile phone operators, opticians, vets, any HP loans that you have i.e. for electrical appliances and so on, and if you have gym memberships.

    Thanks for the advice about the council tax.

    Take gas and electric meter reads the day you move in and keep them safe- call your supplier when you have settled down and they can set your accounts up. If you don't then you may get a huge first bill as they will most likely over-estimate your consumption.
