We didn't bother with the international mail redirection - we got all our mail re-directed to mother in law instead here in the UK, and she weeded out all the junk mail and stuff that we wouldn't actually want, and just forwarded on the important/personal stuff every week or so, really important stuff we got her to fax to us or she scanned it in and e-mailed us with it - worked well for us, but might not work for everyone.
Depending on your circumstances, it might be worth registering with estate agents/letting agents in the area that you are moving to so that they can let you know what properties are going to be available when you arrive.
(Am sure there are loads more things, will add them if and when I can get my brain in gear to think of them!!!!)
