Moving House

We’re moving house in two weeks’ time to a place less than a mile away. We’re in the Republic of Ireland. We’re also interested in upgrading to Sky+ at some point. Should we transfer the account over (there is already a dish there from a previous Sky account), or should we cancel the account and open up a new one (in my wife’s name, perhaps)? I’m not entirely sure what the best strategy is (financially!), so all advice is welcome! Many thanks.

Whatever you do, make sure they know that the money for the sky account at your previous house is no longer being taken out of your account. We moved house a few years ago, transferred the account – didn’t think at all that it was a different first name we gave in the previous house, same surname – and they kept taking money out for both properties.
