The best time to move in starts after the spring winds die down in March through to when the rainy fall kicks in during October. The weather then accommodates shipment by sea in the late spring and early summer. Winter shipments, even via secure well managed and pack containers, are subject to more handling turmoil and resulting unpredictable delays. Avoiding winters extreme temperatures avoids problematic issues like lacquer separations on lacquer finished furniture.
Belfast has a wide range of architecture, starting from roots going back hundreds of years. The beauty aside, historic building evolutions present challenges when moving. Building access, parking and loading space is often problematic. While the city has solved some of the issues with many one way streets they are still no wider or easier to park on.
One of the charming things about Northern Ireland is the pride people take in their identity. Locals may call themselves Northern Irish, Irish, British, or by their county name (e.g., Antrim man, Down woman), depending on their background and political leanings. It’s best to listen first and follow the local cues—identity can be nuanced here.
Moving from Canada to Belfast is a bold and rewarding adventure. With a willingness to embrace the local culture, you’ll settle in just fine.
