Move Types
Move With Ease
Every move is different. Find yours — and get the right starting point, costs, timeline, and tools.
Renting
Renting a New Home
Moving into a rented flat or house comes with deposits, referencing, lease overlap, and more admin than most people expect.
- Deposit timing and protection
- Lease overlap costs
- Referencing requirements
Buying
Buying a Home
Purchasing a home means coordinating solicitors, surveyors, mortgage completion, and completion day logistics simultaneously.
- Chain risk and completion delays
- Solicitor and survey costs
- Completion day coordination
First Home
Moving Out for the First Time
First-time movers face the full cost picture at once — deposit, furniture, bills, and setup costs — often without a reference point.
- Understanding total costs upfront
- Starting without furniture or appliances
- The emotional adjustment of living independently
House Share
Moving into a House Share
Moving into a house share means navigating shared deposits, split bills, and housemate expectations alongside the standard admin of any move.
- Shared deposit and individual liability
- Split bills and account setup
- Housemate communication expectations
Student
Moving to University
Student moves are typically the first experience of independent living — with budget constraints, short-term contracts, and the likelihood of moving again next year.
- Budgeting on a student loan
- Short-term contracts that don't align with term dates
- Moving multiple times across your degree
Family
Moving with Family
Moving with children and dependents means higher emotional complexity, school transitions, and more to coordinate on every dimension of the move.
- School catchment area and registration
- Moving around children's routines
- Emotional support for children through the change
International
Moving Internationally
An international move introduces visa requirements, customs regulations, international banking, and the full complexity of building a new life in a different country.
- Visa and work permit requirements
- Customs and shipping regulations
- Setting up banking and utilities abroad
