Moving house in London is such an exciting thing to do! It’s the busiest and biggest city in the country with tonnes to do like amazing nightlife, sightseeing, premiers, and lots of history too! It’s an amazing place to visit but definitely, the word stress comes to mind when you think of moving there. London is known to be really expensive which is why a lot of budgeting, saving, research, and managing expectations is needed if you’re planning to move there.
The first thing you want to do is to actually talk to people from London, perhaps you already know people living there or reach out to people on social media and ask what they like about their area. Ask them questions about transportation, if it’s a good spot for to live in, basically just any and every piece of information and advice they’re willing to give. There already will be a lot of articles online for this too but try talking to people who have a simila lifestyle to what you want your London lifestyle to be.
Researching is key and it doesn’t stop there, from going and seeing the places you could be calling your next home, to scouring the internet, you’ll want to look at absolutely everything. You can find out pretty much anything about a place and area now, from the energy rating to how many crimes are commited in the area. It can really help you decide where you want to live. For example if you like to walk home late at night, a gated community or apartment with a front desk might be ideal, or if you work from home you might want to look for a house with a better energy rating seen as you’ll be using a lot.
Next you’ll want to look into the space you’ll be moving into, is it big enough? Can you size down if not? Typically spaces in London are smaller yet more expensive, so if you’re moving from a large apartment, you might find that you need to rehome some furniture and look into smarter options. However if you have some pieces you don’t want to part with, looking into a storage company would be a great option to keep them safe for your next move.
