BEFORE CALLING THE MAN WITH VAN

​

Here are some tips to make moving in day as smooth as possible:
​

• Use a good removal firm - seek recommendations from friends or look for members of the British Association of Removers who operate under a strict code of conduct.

• Try to avoid Fridays which is the busiest day

• Save time and cost by doing some of the packing yourself

• Check out the best value utility contracts for your new property well in advance and read your meters on moving in day

• Redirect post well beforehand

• Prepare a standard letter to notify utility providers, banks and anyone else who needs to know what your new address is

• Take out contents insurance to protect your possessions

• Set up your standing order to pay rent so it's in the agent's or landlord's account on time.
