A lot of people are now moving from London
because of the rising costs of living. According
to the most recent survey published by The
Guardian, nearly 292,000 people left the
metropolis in the first half of 2016. This is a
staggering 14 increase in the outflow from 2006.
There are certain factors responsible for driving
people away from London. Expensive housing market
and financially squeezed councils that are unable
to keep up with the crumbling infrastructure are
among the primary causes. The cost of living in
London is so high that people cannot afford to
buy housing stock in London and they have to move
hundreds of miles away just to be able to own
property.

Even finding cheap rental housing has become a
challenge for Londoners to find and keep.
According to Sir Steve Bullock, London Councils
executive member for housing, good quality
affordable housing is extremely scarce in parts
of London, especially for people on low incomes.

Why are we talking about the London housing
crisis on a blog about professional movers? The
reason is because in the last year alone, we have
noticed more and more of our clients moving out
of London.

Our observations have been confirmed by new
research from Labour Mayoral Candidate Tessa
Jowell who reported that (hypothetically)
commuting from London to Spain is considerably
cheaper than actually living in the English
Capital! Housing is ridiculously cheap in Spain.
Couple that with a greater quality of life and
your realise who wouldnt want to move there?!

If you are seriously considering moving from
London to Spain though, you will need to plan
your move and hire the right professional movers
to undertake the immigration process.

Experienced man and van companies can help you
book your international moving services, track
your luggage with international shipment tracking
and take even advantage of international pet
shipping service if your pooch is coming along
with you! Of Course, like any other professional
moving service, they can also help pack your
goods and transport them to your new home.

Also, whether you are moving from London to Spain
or moving from London to Germany regardless of
your end destination, you will need to become
familiar with the new country and their rules and
restrictions. It is also important that you are
aware of local regulations and practicalities in
order ensure that your offloading at the final
destination doesnt break any zoning laws or
cause yourself any inconvenience at the end of a
long journey. When moving from London to Spain
for example, there may be narrow streets, parking
restrictions, apartment blocks where you need
permission to park that may hinder the offloading
process and cause unnecessary delays. So, do your
homework before you leave!
