Moving to a new place can be both exciting and scary at the same time. You’ll be looking forward to starting your new life in a new location but at the same time, will have much more on your plate than a local move. Norfolk is one of the most charming places in England with an unspoilt coastline that many like to visit. If you haven’t considered moving to Norfolk, you might want to reconsider.
In this guide, I am going to offer some tips for moving to Norfolk that you might want to take on board. Read on to hear some of my local tips.
Where to Move To
Norfolk is a large place and so you’ll need to decide on where is best to life. Will you opt for Norwich, the inland villages or possibly the Norfolk Broads? Ideally, we would suggest that you opt for the inland villages as there are some truly stunning ones to choose from. They fall within the Norfolk coast AONB and have unspoilt countryside that you’ll fall in love with. Don’t just move to the big towns, consider what is really on offer in Norfolk.
Start Early
Many of the homes in Norfolk are stunning and have a reasonable amount of space but if you have a lot of things, you might find that the move is slightly harder to manage than you might think. For example, if you are travelling from London, the drive will take you more than 2 hours so if you can’t get everything in the moving van, the entire moving process is going to be more difficult. For this reason, I would recommend that you invest in a storage space.This way, you can keep some of your things there and move over a longer period of time.
Make an Effort with Your Neighbours
Another tip that I have for those who are planning on moving to Norfolk is to remember that this is more of a countryside area. The great thing about these areas is that usually, the communities are strong, and neighbours look after each other. That is, of course, if you are friendly and make an effort to become a part of the community. Some people might not appreciate you moving from a big city with large moving vans blocking their roads. Try to make a good first impression and it will get you off to the best possible start.
Get to Know the Place
Finally, I would suggest that you spend some time getting to know the area that you are moving to before you go. You’ll need to know where the best schools are and ensure you have a job that you can commute to. The best schools might not be nearby your new property and so you’ll need to make arrangements for your children to get there every day. Having a car is ideal in this area to get around as public transport isn’t always convenient. There are plenty of guides online that you can use to find out where the best attractions and beauty spots are, so make sure to check them out.
Get Moving
Norfolk is one of the best places that you can move to in England so why not start planning your move today? You should make sure to take on board the tips that I have given you if you want the move to be a successful one. Once you get settled in, you’ll never want to leave these countryside towns.
