This won\u2019t take you more than a few minutes but will certainly save you lots of trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any further correspondence with the NHS will be completed at the new address that you\u2019ve added to their form.

Much depends on the location. For example, if the area you move to has a higher crime rate, it could impact your premiums. Equally, if you\u2019re moving to an area prone to flooding you may need to take out a special policy or confirm your policy has flood cover in place, like Admiral\u2019s Home Insurance.

You can get a cancellation fee, so carefully read the whole contract with your home insurance company.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-red-check\">\n<li><i class=\"icon-check\"><\/i><strong>Inform your HR department<\/strong>. This one is fairly obvious. In order for the accounting department to have all your documents straight, they&#8217;ll need to have the same address to all your documents and all other government places where your name is present. If not, there might be trouble for you.<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"icon-check\"><\/i><strong>Inform HMRC<\/strong>. You&#8217;ll need to pay special attention to this one, as once you inform HMRC about your new address, they will update your personal record for income tax, national insurance, tax credits and benefits and services including Government Gateway and Pension services. You can do so on the <a title=\"HMRC Change of Personal Address\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/tell-hmrc-change-of-details\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official UK government website<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"icon-check\"><\/i><strong>Inform Banks<\/strong>. It&#8217;s crucial to inform all places, involved with sending you money. On the official website of any bank is information on how you can inform them about your new address. This will update your financial accounts, debit and credit cards, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\n\n\n<p>The list can be a long one depending on your unique business needs, but it&#8217;s important to be thorough. Your personal business leaves little room for error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_of_address_checklist_for_utilities\"><\/span>Change of address checklist for utilities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ah, the dreaded utilities change.

Give at least 48 hours of prior notice, so your provider can calculate your last bill. If you mess this up, you might have to pay again, even after you&#8217;ve left the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Landline\"><\/span>Landline<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not so popular in 2018 compared to your mobile phone, but some people still prefer to pay to have a landline at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are even a few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rent.com\/blog\/landline-phone-pros-and-cons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">advantages of having a landline<\/a>, so if you think so too, make sure to notify your landline provider of your house move, followed by a change of address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mobile_phone\"><\/span>Mobile phone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This one is not absolutely necessary, but if you like receiving fliers with updates about the deals of your mobile phone service operator, you will have to notify it of your address change. They will then be able to continue creating custom offers and send them to your new address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If using the same provider for an internet connection service, then you will certainly have to notify them of your house move. If there are any issues with the hardware, they need to know your exact location, so they can repair it quickly and efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When doing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantastic-removals.co.uk\/international-removals\/\">international moving<\/a>, talk to your mobile phone operator about your roaming details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, consider the following:<br><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-red-check\">\n<li><i class=\"icon-check\"><\/i><strong>Water provider<\/strong>.

All will be able to reply in a single mail chain and notify each other of any additional information or plans related to your house move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Forgetting to inform your friends and relative might terribly surprise some of them if they decide to surprise you at your previous address and someone else opens the door for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sending packages via mail to the wrong address is also a terrible experience as you will afterwards have to deal with mail redirection procedures that are time-consuming and irritating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ending up with lost items that have been sent to the wrong (previous address) is even worse and might lead to losing an important package from your family or a dear friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only way to have everyone around you updated is to personally hold the responsibility of informing them. If you can\u2019t reach everyone by email, make sure to make a phone call or send them a change of address card at their residence address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ_about_moving_house_and_change_of_address_in_the_UK\"><\/span>FAQ about moving house and change of address in the UK<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fantastic-removals.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/professional-removals-team.jpg\" alt=\"Removals expert handling a desk\" class=\"wp-image-6929\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fantastic-removals.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/professional-removals-team.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.fantastic-removals.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/professional-removals-team-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fantastic-removals.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/professional-removals-team-768x449.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image license:<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0\/\" target=\"_blank\">CC BY-SA 4.0<\/a> \/ Image Owner: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantastic-removals.co.uk\/\">Fantastic Removals<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Below, you will read more about the most frequently asked questions we receive from people who are on the verge of changing their address after moving house.

Moving House is one of those things that make it necessary to update your will if you do so. You won\u2019t be able to amend the will; only reviewing it is necessary if you\u2019ve moved house recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting separated or divorced also leads to a need for reviewing your will. If there\u2019s a reason to make any major changes to your current will, you will have to make a whole new one if the official alteration is impossible. Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/make-will\/updating-your-will\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">updating your will when changing an address<\/a> or under any other specific circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_need_to_change_the_address_on_my_passport\"><\/span>Do I need to change the address on my passport?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No, you don\u2019t need to change your address in the passport document after moving out. When your passport expires, and a new one is made, it will be updated with your up-to-date permanent address. Other events that do not require a change in your passport are:<br><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-red-check\">\n<li><i class=\"icon-check\"><\/i>Changing job<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"icon-check\"><\/i>Make minor changes to your appearance<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"icon-check\"><\/i>Getting married\/divorced<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"icon-check\"><\/i>Getting an academic title<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"icon-check\"><\/i>Get citizenship in a country in addition to your UK citizenship<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where do I go to change my address?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/apply-renew-passport\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">apply online for a passport renewal<\/a> when your passport has expired or any of the following personal alterations have happened:<br><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-red-check\">\n<li><i class=\"icon-check\"><\/i>You\u2019ve changed your name<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"icon-check\"><\/i>Sex reassignment surgery was made<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"icon-check\"><\/i>Your appearance has changed so dramatically that the passport photo and your face cannot be easily identified as the same person.<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"icon-check\"><\/i>You\u2019ve gone through plastic surgery that has altered your facial features<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t need to renew your passport if you\u2019ve moved house and your current address has changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_man_and_van_service_a_suitable_option_for_smaller_moves\"><\/span>Is man and van service a suitable option for smaller moves?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Definitely yes. In fact, when we receive a call from a customer, we always ask them about the scale of their move. If they&#8217;re moving from a smaller property or the distance is shorter than usual, we always recommend they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantastic-removals.co.uk\/man-and-van\/\">hire a van with a driver<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s very affordable and comes with full insurance for your belongings if you get your items packed by our professionals before the transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_need_to_change_my_billing_address_when_I_move\"><\/span>Do I need to change my billing address when I move?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Changing your billing address after moving out and updating it everywhere that you\u2019ve registered is an essential step that you have to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All online purchases you make are related to the billing address you\u2019ve provided. It has to match the current address you\u2019re living at so all operation with your credit or debit cards is executed with the proper personal details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Change your billing address after successfully moving out. If you do it in advance, before the house move is completed, there\u2019s a risk of receiving documents and letters at your old address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this happens, there\u2019s a chance of losing them or receiving them when it\u2019s too late for certain operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_transfer_my_house_insurance\"><\/span>Can I transfer my house insurance?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find the information you need about transferring your house insurance in our <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"#business-change-address-checklist\" target=\"_blank\">Business Change of Address Checklist section<\/a> of the post.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"cta_container_holder obf\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"title\">Get your house move service with us!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"sub-title\">Enter your postcode to view our rates and availability in your area.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"postcode-field-box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dynamic-helper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<form id=\"check-prices-form\" class=\"default-check-price-form\" action=\"\">\n\t                            <span class=\"the-postfield-wrap\">\n\t                                <input id=\"postcode-field\" type=\"text\" class=\"the-postfield\"  name=\"postcode-field\" data-default-service-category=\"Removals\"\ndata-default-service-type=\"Removals\">\n\t                                <div class=\"typewriter-box\">\n\t                                    <span class=\"typewriter\"><\/span>\n\t                                <\/div>\n\t                                 <span class=\"moving-label\">Enter your postcode<\/span>\n\t                                <label for=\"postcode-field\" class=\"error-message\">Add a valid postcode e.g. SE1 2TH<\/label>\n\t                            <\/span>\n\t                            <span class=\"submit-wrapper-with-loader active\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"load-holder-lds-eclipse\">\n                                            <div class=\"load-lds-eclipse\"><\/div>\n                                        <\/div>\n\t                                <input id=\"check-prices-submit\" name=\"check-prices-submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Check Prices & Availability\" rel=\"nofollow\" disabled>\n\t                            <\/span>\n\t                        <\/form>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info_text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>For questions about the services we offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantastic-removals.co.uk\/\">visit our main site<\/a> or you can always call us at <a href=\"tel:\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Changing your address in UK is a tedious task which needs to be done properly.
