Am I missing anything glaringly obvious?

Doctor /dentist /school
If you're expecting appointments/follow up sort of things from hospital or doctor then I would personally notify them separately

thenewaveragebear1983 · 03/04/2017 12:53

Also depending on when you're moving, notify sky or tv quite early as they usually have a long wait for an appointment. We had 4 weeks with no TV!

Same with the electric company- ours couldn't move is the same day do we had to get a temporary account with the sellers supplier and then had a few months of hassle with meter readings that didn't tally up.

couldn't move us the same day so *

cursed sausage fingers!

From your post... don't forget the address attached to your pets microchip x

specialsubject · 03/04/2017 13:52

Post redirect - needs a few days notice.

NootNoot · 03/04/2017 14:15

Thanks all

Pet Microchip was no.1 on the list
GP- yes, thank you- had missed that

My bank & car finance were fine to ring & give a date of address change in advance LittleMissM92.

No fancy TV packages to swap.

Schools
Rental agreements
Doctor / dentist / optician
Vet / insurance / Petlog
Credit cards
Bank / building society / savings accounts
Child trust fund
AA / RAC
Driving licence
Car insurance
Home insurance
TV licence
Magazine subscriptions
Child benefit
Catalogues
On line shopping (Amazon, eBay, PayPal etc)
Investments and pensions
HMRC
Electoral register

Badgertastic · 04/04/2017 09:18

We are moving soon, so I'm putting a follow on the thread to make sure we don't forget anything. Smile
