In this blog entry, the professional Charleston residential moving service and Charleston commercial moving service team here at NoFlex Moving will detail the commonly forgotten checklist items that people neglect to attend to during their move.
Transferring Utilities
This is a serious thing to forget, as forgetting to turn off utilities at your old property can lead to an expensive and unwelcome bill. Additionally, forgetting to turn on utilities at your new property will make it uncomfortable when you move in, potentially with no heat, gas, water, and electricity – and will cause you to need to do all the work of getting your utilities turned on when all you want to do is settle in.
Changing Your Address
Make sure to change your legal address with institutions like banks and the DMV. make sure to change your address for all companies that send you bills, in order to ensure that they arrive at your new home and you don’t miss any payments.
Mail Forwarding
Even when you do your best to inform people of your new address, it’s common to forget a few notifications, and likely mail will still be sent to your old address. Avoid missed mail by setting up mail forwarding service with the United States Postal Service – a service that’s usually free for a year, and low-priced after that. This will transfer all mail in you, your family’s, or your company’s name to your new address.
