Moving in to Your New Home

Great, you are ready to move in. Here are some tips to make moving in day as smooth as possible:

• Use a good removal firm - seek recommendations from friends. Look for members of the British Association of Removers who operate under a strict code of conduct.
• Try to avoid Fridays which is the busiest day.
• Save time and cost by doing some of the packing yourself.
• Check out the best value utility contracts for your new property well in advance and read your meters on moving in day.
• Redirect post well beforehand.
• Prepare a standard letter to notify utility providers, banks and anyone else who needs to know what your new address is.
• Take out contents insurance to protect your possessions.
• Set up your standing order to pay rent so it's in the agent's or landlord's account on time.
