Top moving tips please! We are moving ourselves with hiring a van and friends to help lug stuff around. But what do I need to do before moving?

Make a list of all your bills with account numbers etc, so you can call them all and get everything transferred to your new address. Check the cheapest energy and fastest broadband at your new address (broadband can sometimes take a few weeks to set up as well)

Check car and home insurance quotes for the new house

Set up mail redirection with Royal Mail

Speak to the council to suspend the parking bay outside your current and new house so you can park the van directly outside

Measure your furniture to check it will fit through the doors and into the rooms

Every time you get post from a mailing list/subscription, phone them and change your address (or get taken off their mailing list)

You need to insure the new place from now.

Sort out mail forwarding, broadband, removals, etc.
