    And so it begins -

    Contact existing suppliers of energy and water - read the meters - give them your readings and ask for account(s) to be set up.

    Contact council, give them your movein date, ask for council tax bill and ask for single person's dicount if on your own.

    Tell everyone you pay bills/money to your new address.

    Tell DVLA/DVLC your new address if you drive/have a car

    Set up a savings account and put lots of money in it every month for emergencies

    Maybe organise a small party for the neighbours so you can suss them out

    And a myriad other things which you will surely think of.

    Great advice above; not much to add other than a big bottle of bubbly - congratulations!

    ...for both V5C and licence...


    Use Royal Mail's forwarding service - at least six months, ideally a year.
  • In addition to fab lists above - as own and not a rental, money for emergencies is vital. Also, if any issues act promptly (e.g. on a water leak) as saves loads of money and disruption

    Congratulations!

    The advice above is sound... but ignores the obvious stuff which involves alcohol and loud music...?
