Important things to bear in mind when moving

There's a lot to think about when planning a move. Here's a checklist to help you along.

• Take out home insurance for your new home.
• Let people know you're moving at www.adressandring.se. Some authorities will then be notified automatically of your new address. You can also call 020 97 98 99.
• Order a post redirection service. You can do this when you provide notification of your change of address. Post sent to your own address will then be sent to your new one instead.
• Transfer or order a new telephone and Internet subscription.
• Register your ownership of a TV so that you can pay for your television licence.
• Contact your suppliers of electricity, gas, water and drainage, district heating and refuse collection.
• Change your address for subscriptions to newspapers, book clubs and associations, for example.
• Take a final electricity meter reading in the home you're moving from, and take a first reading from the home you're moving to.
• Remember that there are rules in law on what constitutes fixed and movable property.
• Hand over all the keys to your old home to your landlord or to the new owner.
• Also hand over important documents, instruction manuals and other documentation belonging to the property.
• Clean your old home so that it's ready to move into.
