Changing address

alm721

Apologies if this has been asked elsewhere but I can't find the answer. We are due to complete next Friday :beer: but can't get into our new house for a few weeks. So I was wondering when do we let everyone (i.e banks, doctors, schools etc) know that we've moved? We've put a mail redirect on to where we will be staying but when do we actually inform companies etc that we have moved? I can't see that we can give them our new house address when we move out as we won't be there for a few weeks but is there anything wrong with not telling them we've moved out until we are in our new place or is this likely to cause a problem anywhere?
Thanks

Why can't you get in?

If you have the keys and no one else does they start the redirect - and write and tell everyone when you've got them.

We complete on ours next Friday but not on our new one one for a few weeks, sorry I could have made that clearer. Thanks

I'd move banks addressses to parents/stable address ASAP. You don't want bank/credit info going astray. They need it in writing usually.
It's always best to change address rather than relying on the postal service's redirection service.

Thanks for that

buy royal mail redirect for 2 months only to your new temporary address, then do a new redirect to your final new home and then tell all your banks etc of your new final address

i have told most of my banks etc over the phone that i have moved

I have found the Postal Service Redirection Service brilliant in the past year.
