Arrange Moving to Edinburgh Now
Relocating to Edinburgh
Moving to Edinburgh from Canada, means joining other Canadians, kindred spirits, already living among the “Edinburghers”. Scotland’s capital has grown to the countries second largest city and the UK’s second largest financial center. 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.
The best months to move in, are February through May. Their average temperature is reasonable, as is the average participation and sunshine. Unfortunately, arriving then means shipping possessions via container across the Atlantic in winter. The timing is problematic for things such as lacquer finished furniture, and securely packing the container becomes even more important, to deal with the shifting caused by the winter oceans.
After a likely long flight, your move-in day expectations depend on your advance arrangements and planning. Bekins clients typically choose to have help with customs clearance and final delivery. Once customs clearance and customs storage charges become known, arranging delivery, including street permits, securing the right accessibility equipment, etc. become possible. Your desired move in time and date is secured in harmony with your preparations for electricity, gas, water, and broadband.
Expect a few cultural quirks. Homes tend to be smaller and may have differences like separate hot and cold taps and electrical outlets or wall-mounted electric heaters.
The Scots do speak English, along with a language and vernacular all their own. The Edinburgh accent is clean while still truly Scottish. As the second most tourist visited city in the UK (i.e. behind London) it is all part of being an international cosmopolitan city. Edinburgh remains one of those friendly destination cities, even in the face of the pressures this kind of diverse international tourism brings.
