Although there has been an increase in telecommuting or working from home in recent years, the UK’s major cities have seen an increase in population as more people see the value of city living.
Moving to a city in the UK can be a life expanding experience. It offers unique opportunities to explore culture and lifestyles that can only be found in our historic yet modern cities. City living can provide better job opportunities, a wider range of entertainment and social activities and easy access to some of the best nightspots and restaurants our country has to offer.
One popular reason to move to a city is transport. Commuting by car is becoming more and more problematic, with increased fuel charges, low emission zones and high parking fees. Living in the city can remove the need for a car entirely. City transport systems are usually the cheapest and fastest way to get around. Apart from the bus routes with their dedicated bus lanes, there are the underground networks.
The United Kingdom is home to some of the oldest and most impressive underground systems in the world. From London's iconic Tube to Manchester's Metrolink, cities in the UK are well served by efficient and reliable underground networks. The Metro system in Tyneside extends from Newcastle and Gateshead to Sunderland and includes stops at Newcastle Airport and the seaside town of Whitley Bay.
" it is important to get your quotes as early as possible"
When preparing to move to a city, it is important to get your quotes as early as possible. Removals companies may need to allocated specific resources to a city move, such as Emission Zone compliant vehicles, and early booking will secure the slot.
It is also important for the customer to arrange for easy access at the delivery address. This usually entails contacting the council to arrange for adequate parking outside the property.
Your removals company can usually offer advice on this matter and tell you how many standard parking spaces they will need for the removals vehicle.
