The situation
A move is really three moves: the physical one, the administrative one, and the informational one. The first is planned. The second is chaotic. The third is invisible until something goes wrong three months later.
Why it becomes hard
New utilities to set up. Old ones to close. Insurance to transfer. Documents packed in a box marked 'important'. A dozen small addresses that need updating in a dozen small places.
What good organisation looks like
- One list of every utility, subscription, and account tied to the old address
- A single place to store the new lease or property paper the day it exists
- A shared calendar for the switchovers and the first three months of new bills
- A visible list of everyone who still has the wrong address on file
How VAULT helps
VAULT gives the move an information layer that survives the move.
