Is there an easy way of informing all utilities, dvla, doctors, hospitals,opticians, vets  etc etc
of a change of address?
(probably not)

There are several online services if you care to google, but personally I prefer to do it myself to make sure it is done properly.
Start with utilities, insurance, tv license, anything that directly affects the property. 

Set up mail redirection with rm.  Then do everything else as soon as you can.  Anything forgotten will be picked up by redirection and you can update the address as and when you get a redirected mail.

There are dozens of checklists available online, they'll pick up 95% of the changes needed if you are doing it yourself. A mail redirect should pick up most of the others.

Get the driving licence(s) changed ASAP, useful as official ID showing new address.

And the V5. Updating driving licence does NOT update the V5. Very common mistake. Very quickly done online

I did it in the first week of moving.
When I'd collapsed late afternoon it was good to have something to do sitting down.
Not so important but one thing I forgot was supermarket loyalty cards that send out vouchers which can wait till the end. 
By the time I'd twigged that none were arriving I'd racked up quite a bit which was a nice surprise 🙂
