PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Mail Collect won't work for me, because I won't have an address. Poste Restante looks like it would do the job, as long as it's something I can redirect to.
You will have an address before you move out........
you cant redirect to Poste Restante. It must be addressed Poste Restante to the PO.0 -
What you could do is a two stage process: first set up a redirection from your old address to the new one, to start on or slightly before the date that you move out, and Keepsafe service for the new address to run for the period before you move in to the new one. It does mean you'll have no mail for that intermediate period, and if for any reason your completion on the new property is delayed RM may try to deliver your held mail before you actually get there (although it may be possible to extend Keepsafe).
