Frequently asked
Who is the most important to notify?
HMRC, DVLA, your council, the electoral roll, your bank, and your insurance providers. These have legal time limits or can cause financial or legal headaches if missed. The checklist groups them as Priority 1.
Should I use Royal Mail's postal redirection?
Worth it for the first 6 to 12 months. Costs around 40 to 80 pounds. Catches the long tail of post going to the old address from companies you have forgotten to update.
Is the PDF free?
