A Guide To Moving Permanently To London

There will be many of you reading this who might happily contact your travel agent to arrange a holiday to London in the United Kingdom, but how many of you would similarly contact your local removalists to put a permanent move to London? Given that London's current population is over 9.5 million, more than Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide combined, you certainly would not be short of others who also call the UK's capital city home.

Whilst arranging a holiday to London does take some effort, it does not come close to agreeing to move there permanently and make it your home. It will undoubtedly be more manageable if you employ professional removalists who specialise in helping Australians move overseas. However, there is much more to consider for such a bold step.

Many of those considerations will be understanding what living in London means. You need to be aware of local laws, customs, health system, financial system, housing, employment opportunities, and so much more, including immigration requirements for the UK. To help you, here is a short guide to moving permanently to London.

Immigration Requirements: Visas that might be available to Australians include:

  • Skilled Worker: For professional administrative or managerial roles
  • Intra-Company: For those working for muti-nationals with a London-based division
  • Health/Care Worker: For those working within the health profession
  • Global Talent: For those with talents and skills in emerging industries such as digital technology
  • Innovator: For entrepreneurs with new businesses or innovative business ideas
  • Family Visas: Required for family, including spouses and children

Healthcare

4 Moving Mistakes To Avoid If You Decide To Make Another Country Your Home
July 15, 2023 by in International Moving

For those who love travelling across the world, visiting different countries and experiencing various cultures, we are sure there has been at least one of those locations you have seen where the thought of calling international removalists to arrange to move your home there has entered your mind.

Indeed, we are confident that most people fortunate enough to spend time overseas have fallen so in love with a particular country or city they have dreamed about what it would be like to call that place home. This is especially so when the location happens to be so idyllic that it seems life would be a continuous series of days spent in paradise.

Coming back to reality, unfortunately, not everyone can move overseas for various reasons such as their employment, business, family commitments, and quite simply that they do not have the funds it would take to move. However, for those that do not have any of these barriers in their way and who wish to move to another country, it does not always follow that; if you do move, everything works like a dream, and often, it can be more like a nightmare.

We are not talking here about a chosen country not being all it seemed to be or calamities, such as the home they bought suddenly needing extensive and expensive repairs. Read More

7 Health And Safety Matters Removalists Must Prioritise
May 21, 2023 by in Moving Safety Tips

For those responsible for running removalists, many tasks must be completed. In addition to keeping their clients happy by ensuring that the removalist services they provide are of the highest order, they also have obligations towards their employees. A large part of those obligations will relate to health and safety, and under that umbrella, the health and safety of clients will also be found.

When you consider the number of ways in which employees and clients could be at risk of injury, or worse, should something as part of a house move or office relocation go wrong, it should come as no surprise that removalist companies must take health and safety extremely seriously. Here are seven significant health and safety matters removalists must prioritise as part of their operations.

Health And Safety Policy

For removalists to comply with their legal obligations and meet or even exceed many of the industry's standards, they must have a health and safety policy. Health and safety policies will cover matters such as the responsibilities of the company management and employees and the company's procedures related to health and safety matters.

Health And Safety Training For Staff

A huge priority for removalists is to ensure that the staff working for them have been given adequate training relating to all aspects of their work, especially training that focuses on working safely. Read More

Moving to a new office location is a massive undertaking for businesses of all sizes, and it can seem daunting if this is the first time it has moved offices. However, plenty of help is available for office relocations, and prime amongst them are removalists. Using removalists for an office relocation can save businesses thousands of dollars and ensure the move is a success rather than an unmitigated disaster.

The top removalists can save a business money during its office relocation are plentiful. However, one of the main reasons is that they can speed up the whole process. Why speeding up an office relocation saves business money is explained below, as well as how removalists can achieve it.

More Effective Planning

If appropriately planned, any complex task will be done quicker and more efficiently, which applies to office relocation. With removalists having specialised knowledge and experience of many years helping businesses move to new locations, it means that when you consult with them and get them to help plan the move, you can be confident your business’s activity will be appropriately designed and, therefore, less prone to delays.

Use Of The Most Suitable Packing Materials

You might not at first associate the packing materials and boxes used for the items being taken from your old office to your new one with having any influence on how quickly it all takes place, but it does. Read More

Why Hiring Removalists For An Office Relocation Promotes The Health And Wellbeing Of Employees
April 7, 2023 by in Office Relocations

An office relocation is a big undertaking for any business. When it does occur, that business has two options: to either try and do the whole move themselves using their staff or to hire removalists. Of those two choices, we unreservedly recommend using removalists for several reasons, not least because it benefits the health and well-being of the business's staff.

On first consideration, there might not seem to be much of a correlation between staff well-being and whether or not removalists are used to facilitate an office relocation. However, if you read on, we will outline essential ways removalists assisting with an office relocation benefit a company's staff, particularly their health.

Less Stress And Anxiety

When discussing health, a mistake that is often made is the assumption that it is physical health that is the focus. However, everyone should be aware, including employers, of the importance of mental health too. Indeed, the source of many physical complaints can often be found to be an individual having severe mental health issues such as depression or extreme anxiety.

This has to do with office relocation because, for many staff, it can be a stressful event within their working life. If you were to add the stress for those staff in having to play a significant role in organising and carrying out the relocation, then anxiety levels for those employees are bound to rise. Read More
