Relocating to Manchester
Moving to Manchester opens the door to one of the top cities to live in, according to The Economist and its Global Livability Index. Being a transportation hub allows it easy access when needed, without incurring their higher costs. There are also other advantages available, should you consider living in communities near Manchester such as Ancoats, Deansgate, Didsbury, the Northern Quarter or Spinningfields. Planning ahead makes a big difference. Bekins Worldwide, using its decades of international move experience and expertise, is here to help you, with both the best time of year to move and what to expect on the day you move into your new residence.
While the costs of living, rent, utilities, even public transportation, are more reasonable than say London, it is a busy growing place. Moving in will face the unpredictable nature of that kind of busy new activity. The impact of frequently changing weather and regular rainfall contributes. April tends to have the least rain, is before the summer travel season, so a favored time to do moving. July, August and December tend to be the most problematic times to do moving. Shipping possessions via container across the Atlantic in winter can be problematic for temperature sensitive items like lacquer finished furniture.
Mancunians or Mancs, as they often call themselves, are generally friendly, down to earth, well aware of the diversity their city includes. Much like Canada, it is a vertical mosaic of cultures and languages. You will find communities just as you would in Canada, where the best of that culture comes to the surface along with the grace to accept others.
Expect a few cultural quirks. British homes tend to be smaller and may have differences like separate hot and cold taps and electrical outlets (230 V at 50 Hz using a type G plug) or wall-mounted electric heaters. While people are generally friendly, you might also notice a more reserved style of interaction… don’t take it personally!
Moving from Canada to Manchester is a big step, but with careful planning, the transition can be smooth and even enjoyable. Embrace the change, take your time settling in, and before long, you’ll be sipping tea enjoying English charm.
