Just before you move, you should go through the following checklist and ensure you’ve taken care of everything on it.
Have you arranged new utilities for your new house?
Have you taken end meter readings and forwarded the information to the necessary utility organizations?
Have you informed your bank, mobile phone supplier and any other businesses who regularly bill you at your old house of your new house?
Do you regularly contract a handyman, milk delivery, house keeping service or other third party service that you need to rescind?
Have you arranged for your mail to be redirected?
Have you switched off the gas, water and electricity, if asked to do so?
Have you informed any tax or local authorities of your planned change of address so that they can adjust your final bill and have it mailed to your new home?
If you are leaving some furniture, have you verified that there’s nothing in, underneath, behind or on top of it?
Have you fulfilled any items that will ensure the return of your deposit (if pertinent?)
Is everything packed into crates and clearly identifiable?
Have you put together a list of the contents of each container so that you know where everything is?
Have you paid for, or do you have the means to settle the account for your new house, if required?
Have you clearly described, or marked out any repairs required within your old house?
Have you left any operation guides that you don’t require, for appliances or items you’re leaving in your old home?
Have you transferred items like your driver’s license, visa, passport or work permit to your new address?
If you use this list you know that you will be doing your best to curtail the stress of moving to a new home. And, you will have followed the necessary actionss to minimize the risk of identity fraud.
Here’s to good health and happiness in your new house.
