What to Arrange Before Moving Out of Margate

  • Notify all utilities of your move-out date — electricity, gas, water, and broadband
  • Set up a Royal Mail post redirect from your Margate address to your new home
  • Update DVLA, HMRC, DVLA, banks, and your GP with your new address
  • Arrange meter readings and photographs at your Margate property on moving day
  • Check parking at your destination — the removal team needs space to unload
  • Return your Cliftonville or Margate parking permit if applicable
