When moving, carefully consider whether some of the stuff can be got rid of - may be old rugs, sofa, dininig table. Its very easy to sell such stuff over internet or by giving adver in local newspaper.

Where you are moving, consider changing locks to the house. You do not know the previous tenant and how many keys he may have made and given to whom.

Before shifting to new property, do check whether all utility companies have been informed and all utilities are in place or not. e,g, if you are moving in winter and gas company is not service the premises, you could be in trouble.

For removing your stuff, do check out House moves which is the leading directory of removal and storage businesses in the United Kingdom. They provide you with direct access to classified companies, within the area of removals and storage.

While moving to London, note few changes to your lifestyle. Its a very expensive place to rent a property in. So either you will have to manage with a smaller flat than your previous one on country side or move to the outskirts of London e.g. Zone 6. Even though in zone 6, place like Croydon is just 15-20 mins away from central London by train.

Do research on internet on the place before you decide to move in - local schools, tube stations nearby, hospitals, nightlife, theater and so on.
