Moving to Liverpool England from Canada – Now

Relocating to Liverpool

Moving to Liverpool from Canada is your path to a culturally rich, historically vibrant, and musically iconic experience. Liverpool offers a unique charm with its waterfront views, passionate football culture, and friendly northern character. The half million people in Liverpool are the heart of this port city in the Merseyside area. It is located on the east side of the Mersey Estuary by the Irish Sea. This home of “The Beatles” is only 88 miles from its significant Welsh historic roots. Proximity to Ireland also make the Irish a strong community influence. Some wards even have significant numbers with Welsh and Irish listing theirs as a first language.

Late spring or early autumn (i.e May or September) are the best times to be moving in. Liverpool experiences milder temperatures than much of Canada. Summers are cool (average 18–20°C) and winters are damp but not extreme (rarely below freezing). Moving in late spring or even summer helps you avoid the rainy, grey winter months that can make settling in harder… plus allow for your possessions to avoid the more harsh Atlantic transit in late autumn and winter. Unfortunately, shipping possessions via container across the Atlantic in winter can be problematic for temperature sensitive items like lacquer finished furniture. Further, summer months generally see more property listings. Whether you’re renting or buying, you’ll have more options to choose from.
Arrival moves the focus to dealing with local gentrification issues. Local moving professionals use earned experience, to deal with access and old building designs. Using the right equipment and crews, for your particular move in destination, assures you get the best value, for the time and work being done.
