He's a sole trader and they want £425 for a year of redirections! :eek:
I'll change all his addresses with his wholesalers and any junk mail will have to go to the old address.

What companies?

You say "a lot", so I would have thought you'd be able to name more than 10.
You also say "made them aware of companies you bank with" - which banks write to your old address asking if the new address is correct?

I think it's a reasonably commonplace security measure to deter identity theft - not exactly "asking if the new address is correct" but just notifying you that they've effected a change of address request, and you should contact them if it wasn't you who asked for it.

But probably overly paranoid to think that the new occupiers of your house will be fraudsters and able to do much with the knowledge that you have an account with x bank.
