Moving house - who to notify

Galtizz

I did a search and couldn't find this question so sorry if it's been asked already and if this is in the wrong place please feel free to move it.

My MIL is just about to move into a new house. I know we have to notify:

Gas
Electricity
Phone
Council (tax)
House insurance

Who else do I have to notify and when do I notify them?

She is going to be signing the contract tomorrow and hopes to move next week or early the week after.

I know this is probably a really simple question but I moved into an empty house and notified them after I'd moved and MIL is not very money savvy. Thanks

Inform Post Office as well to forward any mail and DVLC if she has car or driving licence.

You can use the Royal Mail service to notify organisations for free or if nothing else as a guide.

Water/gas/elec
Council Tax
Electoral Roll
Bank
Insurances
DVLA - license and reg doc.
TV licence
Any charitys on DD
Credit Cards
Reward/Loyalty cards
Mobile provider
Sky
Gym membership
Dentist/Doctor
Lottery subscription (!)

PS - Good luck helping, especially if you will be dealing with BT at any point - useless!
