The best time to relocate to Sussex is late spring, particularly May to early July. During this period, Sussex enjoys mild weather, longer daylight hours, and the beautiful English countryside is in full bloom. Services like utilities, bank appointments, and moving logistics are easier to arrange. Moving in the spring lets you settle before the UK academic year begins in September, which is ideal if you have children. Additionally, property availability tends to be higher, during these months, giving you better options to find a comfortable rental or home.
International shipping can take 6–10 weeks, depending on the method and customs processing. Shipping household goods across the Atlantic requires careful planning and execution. Winter temperatures can be hard on possession that are lacqure finished for example and on the smoothness of the ocean. Timing for spring and summer simply reduces risks in the same way coordinating the hand offs between truck, train and sea portions of shipping simply reduces storage costs. It’s also wise to pack only essentials for your arrival and consider sending your larger shipment at the same time your “ToR1” (Transfer of Residence) form is done, which arranges qualifying for the duty free movement.
Expect a few cultural quirks. British homes tend to be smaller and may have differences like separate hot and cold taps and electrical outlets or wall-mounted electric heaters. Arrange temporary accommodation with an Airbnb or hotel for a few days upon arrival. This buffer gives you time to inspect your new home, coordinate power, gas, broadband installation that the move in needs to coordinate and schedule with.
Relocating from Canada to Newcastle is an exciting opportunity. With thoughtful planning, especially around timing, shipping, and including your family needs, you can make the transition as smooth and stress-free as possible. The Geordie hospitality, rich history, and vibrant culture of Newcastle will soon make you feel right at home.
