What to do after moving to Rochdale

Sort council tax and the GP, then learn the town in a sensible order.

Furniture and boxes inside a van

After the van has gone, register for council tax with Rochdale Borough Council and check the bin day for the new address. Tell your bank, insurer, employer and GP. If you have children, confirm the school start and the route you will actually walk or drive, including hills in winter.

When the admin is done, learn the town in pieces. The interchange, Rochdale Riverside and the town hall are enough for a first look at the centre. Hollingworth Lake is the usual short trip from Littleborough. Neighbourhood differences are set out in where to live in Rochdale, which is a description, not a ranking.

If something was left at the old house or a room was not ready, call 01706407860 rather than hoping it was on the van. A house move only includes what was on the list. Insurance is provided. Ask us what is covered when you book if you have not already done that.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I tell the council?

Rochdale Borough Council handles council tax and bin collections. Do that in the first week, with the date you became responsible for the property.

What if I am still in boxes?

Finish one bedroom and the kitchen first. The rest of the town can wait until you have slept.
