The Ultimate Moving House Checklist (Ayrshire Edition)
Moving home can be stressful, but The Couthy Clean Co. is here to help! We’ve compiled this essential checklist to ensure your transition is as smooth as possible.
Before you hand over the keys, make sure the right people know you’re moving. It’s not just about bills; it’s about your legal records.
Council Tax
Notify South Ayrshire Council (or East Ayrshire)
about your move to close your account and set up the new one.
Driving Licence
It’s a legal requirement to update your address
with the DVLA. You can do it easily here:
Post Redirection
Consider setting up mail redirection
for at least 3 months.
Voter Registration
Ensure your electoral roll details are updated
to vote at your new address.
Utilities & Services
Meter Readings: Take photos of your gas, electricity, and water meters on your final day.
Broadband & TV: Schedule your service transfer at least 2 weeks in advance to avoid “offline” days in your new home.
The “Deep Clean” Priority
Whether you are a tenant looking to get your deposit back or a homeowner wanting a fresh start, cleaning is the biggest task.
Kitchen
Deep clean oven, hob, and extractor fan (the #1 reason for deposit deductions!).
Bathrooms
Descale taps, showerheads, and scrub grout.
Windows
Ensure all internal glass and frames are wiped down.
