    Don't forget to cancel your car insurance once you get rid of the cars. Also ask for a confirmation letter of no claims bonus. I believe it can be used when you are insuring your car(s) in NZ!?

    Good luck in getting it all sorted

    i do pity anyone the pain of having to phone all your service / utility providers. ive been on a mission to get my costs down (saved £100 per month and a cheque for £233 on its way!) but it was painful!!

    Blimey, counting from 18 weeks, I'm panicking on 2!!

    Try some of these for light reading. We had lists for everything and very long.
    The gooid side to renting is the agent should do all the utilities for you.

    3 or so weeks for me. Everything is mostly sorted. For now...
    Thanks for those links Rusty, would have had to hunt them otherwise.

    3 weeks for me. Lis is almost crossed off - can't cancel child tax credit until a week before, gas & electric just need to give final reading, council tax but can't sort that until we get final confirmation of exchange on sale of house. I think thats it - bound to find more.
