A fillable checklist you can print or save as PDF

This sheet is for keeping track of document names, who has them, what is missing and what needs checking. It is not legal, mortgage, conveyancing, tenancy or insurance advice. Use it to stay organised, then check important decisions against official documents or a qualified professional.

Quick start

Use it before chasing paperwork

1. Write what exists

Start with documents you already have, even if the details are incomplete. A visible partial list is more useful than trying to remember everything later.

2. Mark what is missing

Use the status column for requested, received, checked or not needed. This makes follow-up calls much easier.

3. Separate questions from facts

Use the notes section for anything that needs confirmation from an agent, landlord, lender, conveyancer, solicitor, insurer or surveyor.

Why this checklist is useful

Home paperwork is easy to scatter across emails, portals, printed letters and phone notes. The checklist gives every important item the same simple question: what is it, who has it, where is it, and what still needs checking?

Do not use the checklist as proof that a document is correct or legally complete. It is a planning aid only. If a question affects ownership, tenancy, finance, insurance, safety, tax or a contract, check the original document and ask the right qualified professional.

Print or save as PDF

Use the button to print the checklist below. In the print window you can choose a printer, or choose Save as PDF to keep a digital copy.

Only the checklist prints; navigation, helper links and page footer are hidden.

Common mistake

Do not mark a document as sorted just because someone mentioned it in an email. Write down where the actual document is and who confirmed it.

Good next step

Print the Moving Home Binder cover after this checklist, then put the document rows in the same order as your emails or paper folder.
