When moving with London House Removals make a checklist. Compile a list of individuals, organizations, and institutions that need to be informed about your move. This may include family and friends, your employer, financial institutions, healthcare providers, and any other relevant parties.

Notify utility providers and subscription services: Contact your utility providers (such as electricity, gas, water, internet, and cable) to arrange for disconnection or transfer of services to your new address. Also, inform subscription services (like magazines, newspapers, and meal delivery subscriptions) of your change of address.
4. Arrange storage for items wanted but not needed: If you have belongings that you want to keep but won’t be using immediately in your new home, consider arranging for storage facilities to keep them safe until needed.
