Hopefully our change of address checklist for moving house will help make your house move run smoothly. Using our comprehensive list should take the burden out of remembering all those relevant people to inform of your departure. It can be easy to forget who you have notified after your move and a credit card bill or car tax renewal sent to your old address could be costly.
