UK Moving Home Pack — Printable PDF Binder
Moving home in the UK means 32 organisations to tell, council tax to close and open, utilities to switch, GP to re-register, kids to enrol, DVLA paperwork, banks, subscriptions, Royal Mail redirection — and that's before you've packed a box.
The UK Moving Home Pack is a 19-page printable PDF binder that takes you from eight weeks out to your first month in the new place. Built specifically for UK admin — council tax, NHS, DVLA, HMRC, Royal Mail — not adapted from a US template.
What's inside (19 pages):
- Eight-week countdown checklist
- The 32-organisation change-of-address master list — sectioned and fillable
- Two-week utilities switchover log (with meter-reading prompts and the right phone numbers)
- Council Tax tracker — closing the old account, opening the new, claiming the Single Person Discount
- GP and NHS dentist re-registration
- In-year school admissions — for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland
- DVLA driving licence + V5C log book (the £1,000 fine page nobody warns you about)
- Banks, cards and subscriptions tracker
- Royal Mail redirection — 2026/27 pricing and tracking
- Packing inventory — 16 numbered rows, room and priority
- Moving day timeline — with meter-reading prompts at both addresses
- First night essentials box
- First week — stopcock, fuse box, alarms, boiler
- First month — electoral register, HMRC, pension, optician, vet
- Master complete checklist
UK nation differences covered. Council tax for England and Wales (with the band A–I note), mygov.scot for Scotland, domestic rates via LPS for Northern Ireland. DVA, not DVLA, in NI. Education Authority for NI school transfers. Welsh-language correspondence acknowledged.
Format: A4 PDF, instant download. Print at home, fill in digitally, or both. Designed for standard home printers — black & white or colour.
Why this pack: Online planner shops are dominated by US-adapted moving planners that don't understand council tax, GP catchments, or the V5C fine. This pack is built for the UK move and the UK admin that comes with it.
This pack is a planning aid. It signposts UK government and provider processes — it does not replace legal, tax or financial advice. Prices, deadlines and rules can change; the pack contains links throughout to live sources at gov.uk and the relevant authorities. Edition 2026/27.
Made in Liverpool. Designed for the way UK households actually move.
