Relocating to Birmingham
Moving to Birmingham from Canada, now puts you in England’s second largest community. In the area of England known as the West Midlands, on the Birmingham Plateau, it enjoys a collection of small rivers and canals. It is the home of the industrial revolution that began with the steam engine evolving into thousands of small specially focused businesses.
The best months to move in, are May and September when there is mild seasonal weather and while it is outside the July and August tourist traffic. That means shipping possessions via container across the Atlantic as winter ends in Canada or as summer begins. It also avoids problematic shipping of temperature sensitive items like lacquer finished furniture in the cold of the winter and the worst of the container shifting issues caused by the winter oceans. Leave electrical items behind as the standard voltage is 230 V at 50 Hz using a type G plug. Take items that match your new life style and the space you will have available. Simply put, take only those items that bring real joy to your life.
The folks who live in Birmingham, “Brummies” who talk about living in “Brum”, are proud of the heritage Birmingham has earned and its diverse entertainment options. Home of more than just the steam engine, it also claims foundational science for the first jet engine, microwaves and radar. They understand how Birmingham has the advantages of London without its high prices. The specifics of your destination in Birmingham will reveal unique options of enjoyment as well as assuring the right equipment and crew to move in with the best value in mins.
Rain is always a concern in any island destination. Wind is frequently not considered as much as the move in access being open or distant? In Birmingham there is no underground rapid transit of London’s quality. Traffic, parking, along with buildings and streets from another era are problematic considerations. It is not the quiet life style that one would more likely find in Wales. Move management is best handled with experienced judgement to keep costs in control.
