council tax - letters normally arrive from the council automatically
with the utilities you need to work out who the previous owners used, loads of bills and letters will probably arrive, so as you work each one out contact the utility company and inform them that you are the new owners.Happy chappy0 -
Your mortgage provider provide will probably have some guides.
Halifax one is here: http://www.buyingyourfirsthome.co.uk/index.aspx0 -
Try this checklist. Although I've not used it, this site claims to notify a lot of essential services automatically for you.Warning ..... I'm a peri-menopausal axe-wielding maniac
