Greece Europe International Moving Advice Britannia Bradshaws

Plan ahead and research

An international move takes a lot of coordination and planning and you should begin to plan your move as soon as you know you're moving. Research the country you're moving to, as well as the town you'll be settling in. The more you know about the locals, customs, traditions and the day-to-day life of your new home, the quicker you'll settle in.

I’d highly recommend Britannia Bradshaws for a move, especially Bart and Mark who were amazing when my parents moved house recently. They were professional and friendly, and took a lot of care moving and transporting their belongings. They listened to my parents needs and worked really efficiently over 2 days. Bart and Mark really made what can be quite a stressful time much easier. They went over and above, even coming back out for an extra item which was really appreciated.

Thank you
