Moving home with Virgin Media: how to change your address

Tick the following boxes if you are a Virgin Media user looking to move homes.

  1. Ensure to provide Virgin Media with sufficient notice before your move. The earlier the notice, the better. The minimum recommended time notice is about 30 days. However, if you can give earlier notice, that works perfectly. Providing the information early enough gives Virgin Media time to ensure everything is ready on your given date. Also, it gives them time to go through your options and help ensure you are on the best package for you.
  2. Know the terms of your Contract. Ensure you know the details of your package and how long is left on your Contract. If you have time left in your Contract, you can easily transfer services to your new home. Also, you can either continue on the same package or upgrade to a new one.
  3. Check if Virgin Media Services are available at your new location. You can easily check if you can assess Virgin Media services at your new location by providing Virgin Media with your new address and running a check using the postcode checker. Suppose your new property has had Virgin Media previously. In that case, you can easily self-install your broadband without needing an engineer, but if there is Virgin Media in the area but not at your address, you will need the service of an Engineer.

To change your account details, log on to My Virgin Media and click My Profile at the top of the page. You´ll be able to change your contact information, email address, date of birth, and more.

Once you have followed these steps, you can move homes and continue to enjoy your Virgin Media Broadband, TV, and Phone services. You get to take your equipment with you during the move, and Virgin Media will run the installation on the agreed date.
