London, being the capital, has always been the place to go for work and life prospects but it’s got competition with Manchester rapidly becoming the powerhouse of the North. The gravitational pull to this vibrant city is hard to ignore, its growing city living population is creating a pulsating place to live and work.

Nick Willis from manandvan.net, a leading moving service provider based in Manchester has seen a big increase in the number of people moving to Manchester from London. In the first quarter of 2015 removal bookings are up 20% on the previous year. Nick says “Manchester property is such an attractive proposition compared to London’s property prices and Manchester has so much going for it, outside of London it’s the best place in my opinion for food, music, culture and just good quality lifestyle. I always ask my customers who are moving to Manchester from London what it is that attracts them and its always positive feedback, be it the housing prices, work, the warm Mancunion welcome or just the good standard of living.” West executive director of the Homes and Communities Agency, Deborah McLaughlin Speaking at MIPIM in Cannes, also said “Manchester is a great city to live and is now widely recognized as one of the most livable cities in the world ahead of New York, London and Milan. Manchester has gone from an industrial Lowry landscape to a funky diverse place to live work.

Manchester has a rich heritage with facilities for people of all backgrounds, positives are many including the largest single site university in the UK with the biggest student population, many of which stay in Manchester adding youth and vibrancy.

Man and Van Spain expats returning to Spain

man and van to SpainMan and Van UK Removals to Spain.

Many from the United Kingdom wish to achieve the dream of someday moving abroad. Be it retirement, a new job or just the chance to change things up a little, more often than not the destination is Spain

Why Spain? Well Brits have been traveling there for decades. A short plane journey and great weather have always made it a hotspot destination for people of all ages and walks of life. Many have fallen in love with the country and choose to uproot theirs lives and move.

Recent years have seen a decline in the economy, so many assume that the dream of moving over to Spain from the UK is nothing more than that –a dream.

Man and Van UK Removals to Spain believe otherwise however. Having been at the forefront of the removal and relocation of British citizens to Spain for a number of years, what we see tells a different story, one telling us that this dream of moving on is not only an attainable one, but a lot easier than you may think. Taking bookings from across the nation, Man and Van UK Removals to Spain have seen a great number of increases of people making enquiries. Simply put the numbers are showing no signs of subsiding, with numerous interested UK nations wanting help with their move to Spain.

So why are so many continuing to relocate to sunny Spain? There are a plethora of reasons why 20people might fancy the adventure of moving from Britain to Spain.

Firstly, there is property – or more specifically the prices of property. Over in Spain property prices have never been lower! That’s why many are taking the chance to cash in while the market is good. It is a market for buyers, and buyers are finding themselves great deals on property across the country. What is better than getting a new property in Spain? Getting property in Spain at an amazing price!

The economy of Europe has been turbulent over the past few years to say the least, and with it the currency rates. However recent stability has made the pound stronger than it had been, so you are now getting the best value for the euro in years – a perfect time to capitalize when considering a move to Spain.

Unfortunately the UK weather is off putting too many, so if it’s a warmer climate they seek, there are plenty of choices across the world. The Mediterranean climate of Spain is well noted, and one of the reasons it is such a popular destination. No reason to spend a fortune going half way across the world for the sun!

Finally, we all know how hard it can be being away from loved ones. It’s a reason many will put off moving somewhere new, particularly when going as far as Spain. However, when you consider how far it really is, its and ideal location for people moving from Britain.

Only a few short hours on the plane, and easily reachable by vehicle, it is ideal for those who want to journey back and forth. Be it you have two homes or you like to visit those back home, Spain’s relative closeness to the UK makes it a perfect relocation destination, and another reason why so many chose to go there https://www.manandvan.net/overseas/

Removals to Spain

Why move to Spain

With Nicks man and van to Spain More Than 550,000 Britons Now Own Property in Spain. The British are coming the British are coming. Well, yes, they are but, this time to Spain and not to Canada. The British are moving out of the UK in droves and are buying up property in Spain. One in three Brits wants to retreat to Spain. Spain is cheaper than the UK, has lovely weather all year round, Spaniards are friendly, the wine is great, and the Spanish government is very welcoming. I have been toying with the idea of moving to Spain. Spain really is heaven on earth.

Over half a million Brits now own property in Spain. In some small Spanish villages, they make up a large ratio of the population. More than 25% of them are qualified to vote in Spain on national issues, and voting rights on local issues look to be soon to follow. Spain is becoming home to the English, but why. The United Kingdom is one of the priciest countries in Europe. Taxes are high, the crime rate is rising, immigration is a mess, the weather is terrible, and a lot of British feel the government stopped listening to them years ago. In a sensible way, the removals to spainBritish, on the whole, are a really unhappy moaning people.

Many UK citizens will dream of one day removals to Spain and retiring in sunny Spain. After all, thousands of people have done so in the past, and thousands more are planning to do so in the future. Considering the many benefits of living in and buying property in Spain for your retirement such as the lower cost of living, excellent local cuisine and fantastic climate why wouldn’t you want to move to this beautiful country? When you get a definite date for your move it is best to get your removal company booked often certain dates or times of the month can be very busy with end of contracts and exchanges falling on the same dates try our online removal quotes fill in quote form only takes couple minutes. So what are you waiting for the weather is beautiful all year round and the Spanish beach resorts are some of the prettiest in the world. The way of life in Spain is more relaxed than in the UK



HOW TO KEEP THE COST DOWN FOR A STUDENT REMOVAL

Firstly search for a man and van service not a removal company although Removal Company’s offer a man and van service you will find you get the best price from a self-employed man and van service in general. When requesting your student removal quote let them know you are a student because you may be eligible for discount.

To keep the cost down further and if you are fit and able when booking inform the man and van service that you are willing to load and unload the van yourself. The man and van will pack the back of the van to make sure everything is secure in transit. If your belongings are upstairs tell man and van that you will have them on the ground floor and when they arrive at the delivery address, everything will be going to the ground floor as stairs can increase the quote. If you have been drinking the night before or if your physically not able please state when booking.

Prior to your move to save money on removal boxes visit you local supermarket or grosser who will be more than happy to supply you. An ideal box for a student move is a banana box which is strong and sturdy and good for packing books. A general rule for packing is to put lighter items in bigger boxes and heavy items in smaller boxes. If you are moving any awkward items like bicycles or timpani drums for example or extremely heavy items please inform when requesting a removal quote.

If your living in a shared house, living in halls of residents or have friends locally and they are moving try and incorporate there student moves with yours thus keeping the cost down by sharing the van. If you are moving long distant like from Manchester to London and you know any other students moving roughly the same destinations then it does make economic sense to share the removal van also if you are traveling a long distance by train ask if you can travel in the vehicle a lot of the time the driver will be glad of the company in the van which can make the journey go a lot quicker.
