Moving in Guildford

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

• Moving in Surrey from Surrey County Council offers a change of address service, details of schools in the County and links to community or national resources.
• Guildford Borough Council website is a place you may be familiar with, although worth digging deeper. Contact facilities for local services and links to other agencies which are valuable at removal time.
• Surrey Law Society offer access to legal advice, not least help with the legalities of moving house. We have seen horror stories where buyers or sellers tried to save on costs through doubtful legal support.
• The Environment Agency is a helpful resource, not least because of efficient on site search. Searching on the area you are leaving, or moving to offers information to influence removal planning and more.
• A Guide to Guildford from us. A few notes on the city, surroundings, culture and a video of Winkworth, a popular spot for those who love gardens and the countryside.

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

Details of what is enjoyable, or critical to us can be as important as our furniture. Clubs your family use, the nearest wifi cafe, places to walk the dog, the best library, the list is endless and personal but research before you move makes settling in much easier.

A clear plan for removal day and the surrounding days reduces stress. Your removal company should help, we hope you consider us 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 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.
