Tips on moving from Ireland to UK
Moving house is already a big step, let alone moving country. Fortunately, we’ve compiled a list of tips to help you make the cross-channel transition stress-free.
01. Plan in advance
Before diving straight into the moving process, it’s crucial to plan ahead. We recommend creating a timeline or to-do list outlining the most critical tasks, such as the ones detailed below.
02. Sort and pack your belongings
Before packing up, it’s always helpful to sort through your possessions. Sell, donate, or discard any items you don’t intend to bring back to the UK. Similarly, wrap delicate items like family heirlooms, fragile objects, or electronics securely and snugly to prevent breakage or harm.
Make sure to acquire all necessary packing materials beforehand, or contemplate engaging a packing service in Ireland if you’re uncertain about your own packing skills, especially regarding fragile items.
03. Research removals services
Whether you’re located in Dublin, Cork, or Galway, choosing a reliable removal company is paramount for a smooth transition from Ireland to the UK.
Take the time to research and compare removal services, considering factors such as experience, reputation, and cost. At Matthew James, we offer a range of complementary services, like part loads, exclusive hire vehicles, customs assistance, priority delivery, and more.
04. Understand legal requirements
Even if you’re a British citizen, relocating back to the UK can require researching and filling in necessary documentation. Examples of important documentation include passports, visas, residency permits, NHS forms, and customs forms. Keep in mind that Matthew James will support you with all customs-related procedures, leaving you to focus only on personal paperwork.
05. Notify authorities in your local area
Make sure to inform any authorities before departing Ireland. This involves updating your address with government agencies, banks, utility companies, insurance providers, and other relevant local groups.
06. Arrange permanent or temporary accommodation
As your moving date draws near, be sure to make any final calls to removal companies, utility providers, and other relevant entities to ensure a smooth relocation journey. Remember, if you’ve got last-minute queries about your move, your Matthew James dedicated Move Manager can help.
