Moving in Guildford

Useful resources to save you time.

Whether you are moving locally, within Surrey, or further afield, accessing useful information will always be part of the process. Using online facilities can save time, there are a few suggestions below relevant to Guildford, or the UK as a whole.

Moving in Surrey offers useful information from Surrey County Council, ranging from a change of address service, to details of schools in the County. Also many useful external links to community and national resources.
Guildford Borough Council website is a place you may be familiar with, although as with many sites of this nature, worth digging deep. Apart from contact facilities for local services, they also offer links to other agencies that are needed at removal time.
Surrey Law Society offer access to all forms of legal advice, not least to help with the legalities of moving house. We have come across a few horror stories where buyers or sellers tried to save a little on costs through doubtful legal support.
The Environment Agency is a surprisingly useful place, not least because of an efficient on site search facility. Searching on the area you are leaving, or the one you are moving to can give information to influence removal planning and more.

Organising Your Move

Settling in a new home should be rewarding.

Moving time has a reputation for being stressful and this is certainly a busy time, although a new home can be a pleasure. Planning is the key, which naturally includes all practical aspects but can include elements which make you feel at home.

The details that are enjoyable, or critical to us can be as important to transfer as our furniture. Clubs your family use, the nearest wifi cafe, good places to walk the dog, the best library, the list is endless and personal but research before you move can make settling in much easier.

A clear plan for removal day itself and the days before also reduces stress. Your removal company should help, we hope you consider us for that but whoever you use, don't settle for people who do no more than turn up to load a van. Your removal company should be part of a team.

One more thought for the days before you move, make a detailed list of everything you will need on the day, at both ends and pack this as early as possible, saves a last minute hunt. We do hope you have a rewarding move and avoid any hitches, you are welcome to read our information on removals in Guildford, or contact us at any time.
