    Get a three or six month mail re-direction as that will remind you when someone writes to you with the re-direction that you haven't told them of your move. Also you won't then miss anything you don't want to. It can be done on-line with Royal Mail but there is a charge.

    Thank you forgot about water!

    Have already done the royal mail redirection but wanted to contact everyone as soon as possible rather than wait for a letter.

    Don't forget to take a meter reading for the electricity in your new house and let the company know the exact date you move in so that if there are any unpaid bills fromt he previous owner you shouldn't get any hassle from them.

    It's canvass time so electoral role should be taken care of that way. Even if you tell them now, you'll still have to fill in the canvass form.
