Moving to Glasgow

An overview of Glasgow

If you’re moving to Glasgow, you should be ready for its high energy, friendly people, wide range of places to go out at night, and, of course, its strong accent.

Glasgow is Scotland’s biggest city, and it really does have something for everyone. If you’re not interested in built-up buildings and wild nightlife, don’t worry: there are over 90 protected parks and green spaces to enjoy. Glasgow, whose name means “dear green place” in Gaelic, really lives up to its name.

Also, if you want to see all that Scotland has to offer, some of the UK’s most beautiful landscapes are right around the corner, and Edinburgh is only an hour away by train.

The cost of moving to Glasgow

Moving to Glasgow will cost different amounts for different people. The main things that will affect the cost are where you are moving from and how much stuff you are moving.

If you want to move the contents of a three-bedroom house from London to Glasgow, which is about 875 cubic metres of stuff, you should expect to pay about £1,543. With this fee, you get:

Loading/unloading
Packing services/materials
Dismantling/reassembling of furniture
The fee for distance travelled

It takes about 412 miles to drive from London to Glasgow, and most moving companies charge £1 per mile. (Comparemymove.com, 2020)

The amount you pay for the move will also depend on the moving company you hire, the date you move, and whether or not you choose extra services like packing and putting together furniture.

The cost of living in Glasgow

The cost of living is also different for each person. Glasgow is just like any other city in that the prices of homes, council tax, and even food can change depending on where you live.

Property prices

The average price of a home in Glasgow is currently £193,302, which is lower than the rest of the UK. In Glasgow, the average price for a flat was £149,211 and the average price for a terraced house was £171,918.

To put this into perspective, the average price of a home in Edinburgh is £303,243, while the average price of a home in London is £666,264, which is about double the price of a home in Edinburgh.

Some people like to rent when they first move to a new city. This way, they can find out where the best neighbourhoods are before they buy a house. Glasgow rents go for about £960 per month, which is the second-highest price in Scotland.

Council tax

How much you have to pay in council tax each year in Glasgow depends on which band your home is in, which is based on how much it costs. Bands go from A, which costs £1,222 a year, to H, which costs £4,291 a year.

Electricity bills

Depending on how you live, your bills in Glasgow will change, and if you’re moving from a warmer place, you might get to know your thermostat better in the winter.

On the other hand, your electricity bill might be a pleasant surprise. NimbleFins says that the average price of electricity in Glasgow is 17.0 p/kWh, which is less than the average price of 18.75 p/kWh in the UK.

Public transport in Glasgow

The centre of Glasgow is especially easy to get around on foot. But if you can’t walk or just don’t want to, there are plenty of other ways to get around.

Subway : The 15-station loop takes 24 minutes to go around, and trains run every five minutes during rush hours. A single ticket costs £1.55. You can also get a Subway Smartcard, which you can add money to as you use it.

Bus : There are more than 80 bus routes that run all day and night across the city. A day ticket costs £4.60 and gives you unlimited travel in the area you choose. A weekly ticket starts at £17.
Bicycle: You can rent 700 bikes and e-bikes from Nextbike Glasgow at more than 50 locations around the city. Plus, they are always there for you. The rental fee is £1 for every 30 minutes, or you can pay £10 for the whole day.

Working in Glasgow

Total Jobs says that the average annual salary in Glasgow is £29,000, which is a bit less than the average salary in the UK, which is £30,800. This might be off-putting, but the low cost of living in the city makes up for it nicely.

In recent years, Glasgow has moved away from its industrial past and made changes to its job market. As a result, the unemployment rate has dropped by half, and newcomers to the city have a lot more to choose from. Also, the Glasgow Economic Strategy wants to add 50,000 new jobs to the city by 2023, which is a big goal.

Digital technology, finance, the creative economy, low carbon, and life sciences are some of the top industries in the Scottish city.

As for the best jobs in Glasgow, You can look at the University of Glasgow, the University of Strathclyde, Kura, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, and Barclays.

The best neighbourhoods in Glasgow

Hillhead

Hillhead is in the middle of Glasgow’s West End, which is becoming more and more popular. In the middle of the Botanic Gardens and Kelvingrove Park, this area is full of museums, art galleries, and small shops. Students, young professionals, and families all love this area.
Hillhead does cost money, but if you can afford it, it’s worth it.

Bearsden

Bearsden may have the most expensive property prices in Glasgow, but it also has a lot to offer, like some of the best primary schools in the city, the Kilmardinny Loch Nature Reserve, quick and easy rail connections to the city center, and cute independent shops.

This charming suburb is a quiet place to get away from the busyness of the city.

Shawlands

This trendy area is a lot cheaper than West End, but it has just as much to offer. Shawlands is quickly becoming a place where people want to live because of its great schools, unique Glasgow cafes, and beautiful, green parks.

Also, there is a direct train line from Shawlands to Glasgow Central that takes about 11 minutes.

This will make your commute go by very quickly.

Things to do in Glasgow

Enjoy Glasgow’s nightlife

Glasgow has music for everyone, from house to techno, disco to funk, rock to pop. The SWG3 arts complex is now one of the most popular places to rent in Glasgow. It often hosts large outdoor live shows, high-profile club nights, and smaller, more niche performances. Check out the list of top venues on Design My Night to see what you can do.

If you’d rather watch your favourite band than go out on the town, head to the famous Barrowland Ballroom. You can also go to a few smaller places like King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, Nice n’ Sleazy, and The Glad Cafe, which are all great places to hang out.

Visit the many breweries

Anyone who wants to try local drinks should go to Glasgow. Tennent’s is to Glasgow what Guinness is to Dublin, so it’s almost like a right of passage for newcomers to see how it’s made at the historic Wellpark Brewery.

The “experiential” Drygate Brewery is a microbrewery that is very popular with the locals. You can hang out with your friends and try one of the 26 rotating beers on tap or one of the many bottled options.

Discover Glasgow’s design gems at The Lighthouse

This beautiful building on Mitchell Lane is enough to attract anyone. This Center for Design honours the life and work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, who was born and raised in Glasgow.

And if you take the stairs to the sixth floor, you’ll get a view of the whole city.

Potter around some independent shops

There are a lot of quirky, cobbled lanes to explore in Glasgow. In the West, Ashton Lane is full of great bars and restaurants, and The Hidden Lane in Finnieston has a mix of designer and craft shops.

Near Buchanan Street in the city center, you’ll find all the usual high street names. Watch out for fluorescent lighting, and go to Mitchell Lane to find more unique goods.

Soak in the culture at the museums

There are many different museums and art galleries owned by the city of Glasgow. Many of them are free to visit.

The art and artefacts in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum are some of the best in the world. They range from Natural History to Arms and Armour. The Mackintosh House can be found at the Hunterian Art Gallery, where you can learn about its history and admire its beautiful architecture. You can even visit the Scottish Football Museum to learn about the country’s long history of football.

Soak in the greenery

With more than 90 parks and green spaces, you’ll never be far from nature.

Find Pollok Country Park, one of the city’s most popular green spaces, where Highland cows are just a short walk away. Walk through the beautiful Kelvingrove Park, which is near the River Kelvin. Stroll through the Glasgow Botanic Gardens and look at the impressive glass houses and collections of tropical plants.

Take a day trip to the highlands

This city is close to many of Scotland’s most popular tourist spots, and it’s also a short distance from some of the UK’s most beautiful landscapes. The Scottish Highlands, the coast of Ayrshire, Aran Island, Oban, and, of course, Loch Ness are all great places to visit.

Moving to Leeds

By admin

An overview of Leeds

Leeds is in the middle of West Yorkshire, and it has a lot of heart.

Leeds used to be the industrial capital of Yorkshire, but now it’s a cool, modern city with a growing tech industry and a lively arts scene. It is popular with both young people and families because it has nice places to shop, trendy bars, and a lot of green space. Outside of the city, more than 65% of the district is green belt land. Even better, the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park is only 20 miles away.

The city is diverse and cosmopolitan; almost 13% of its 800,000 people were born outside of the UK, which is only a little less than the UK-wide number of 14 %.

Leeds is in the middle of West Yorkshire, and it has a lot of heart.

The city is diverse and cosmopolitan; almost 13% of its 800,000 people were born outside of the UK, which is only a little less than the UK-wide number of 14 %.

The cost of moving to Leeds

How much it costs to move to Leeds depends on where you’re moving from and how much stuff you’re moving.

If you want to move the contents of a three-bedroom house from London to Leeds, which is about 875 cubic metres of stuff, you should expect to pay about £1,331. With this fee, you get:

loading/unloading
packing services/materials
dismantling/reassembling of furniture
the fee for distance travelled

It takes about 200 miles to drive from London to Leeds, and most moving companies charge £1 per mile (source: comparemymove, 2020).

The amount you pay for the move will also depend on the moving company you hire, the date you move, and whether or not you choose extra services like packing and putting together furniture.

The cost of living in Leeds

Leeds is not one of the most expensive cities in the UK, especially when compared to the towns and cities in the south. Here’s a general idea of how much things cost in Leeds (source: Numbeo, 2020).

Property prices

If you look at house prices all over the UK, Leeds is pretty much in the middle.

In Zoopla’s 2019 UK Cities House Price Index, Leeds was ranked 13th out of 20 cities in the UK. Its house price to income ratio was 5.7.

What’s the meaning? The house-price-to-earnings ratio shows how affordable housing is in a certain area. It is found by dividing the average property price by the average annual salary. The more expensive a neighbourhood is, the higher the number (relative to earnings).

Leeds has a ratio of 5.7, which isn’t too bad when you consider that London, Cambridge, and Oxford have ratios of 13.1, 12.2, and 11.9.

Over the past year, the average house price in Leeds has gone up by 9.26%, to £229,876. But the average price of a flat is only £171,519, and the average price of a terraced house is even less at £158,583. (source: Zoopla, 2020).

In 2019, the average cost of rent in Leeds was £715 per month, which is much less than the national average of £886 per month (source: Leeds Live, 2019).

Council tax

In Leeds, the council tax bands for 2020/21 range from A (£1,140.76 per year) to H (£3,422.29 per year), depending on the type of property and where it is. There is also a lower rate for people with disabilities, which is £950.63 per year.

Electricity bills

Like house prices, electricity bills in Leeds are pretty close to the average for the UK.

The average fixed cost of electricity in Yorkshire is £86.75 per year, which is £2 more than the UK average of £84.62. The average variable unit price of electricity in Yorkshire is 17.6p per kWh, which is 0.3p less than the average price in the UK, which is 17.9p.

Getting in and out of Leeds

We’re not saying that getting out of Leeds should be your top priority once you move there, but there are benefits to living in a city that’s easy to get around in. When you want to go on vacation, for example.

Leeds isn’t a fortress, which is a good thing. The city is easy to get to by car because the M1 goes right through it. You can get to Leeds Bradford Airport in 30 minutes, and direct trains leave from Leeds railway station for cities all over the UK. It takes just over two hours to get to London by train.

Public transport in Leeds

It’s easy to walk everywhere in Leeds because it’s a small city. But if you’re worried about how you’ll get to work, you’ll be glad to know that Leeds has great public transportation.

Its buses and trains usually run from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., and there are smaller train stations in many of Leeds’s suburbs. On the mTickets app, a weekly bus pass costs £17, while a weekly train pass from a suburb of Leeds, like Headingley, to the city centre costs around £55.

In the NewToLeeds guide, you can learn more about the public transportation in Leeds.

Working in Leeds

When it comes to jobs, Leeds has a lot to offer.

The Leeds City Council says that the city’s economy has grown by 34% over the past ten years and is expected to grow by 21% more over the next ten years. Leeds is the most popular place for fast-growing businesses in the UK, other than London and Cambridge.

Financial and business services (38% of total output), retail, leisure, tourism, manufacturing, construction, and the creative industries are some of the city’s most important industries.

There are more than 1,000 people working at Centrica, BT, Yorkshire Bank, Direct Line, Asda Group, and Ventura, all of which are based in Leeds. There are also three universities and the biggest teaching hospital trust in Europe.

Average salary in Leeds

Payscale and Total Jobs say that the average salary for a full-time job in Leeds is £26,000. This is a little bit less than the average salary in the UK, which was £30,420 in 2019.

Crime and safety in Leeds

Leeds isn’t one of the safest places in the UK, but when it comes to crime rates, it’s rare for a big city to do well. Like most cities, Leeds has both safe and dangerous areas.

In the year ending June 2020, there were 123.36 crimes per 1,000 people in Leeds, which was just a little bit more than the average “across similar areas.”

The best neighbourhoods in Leeds

Leeds could be the right place for you if you enjoy both a busy city centre and a quiet view of the countryside. Like London and Birmingham, Leeds feels like a group of commuter villages that all fit together around a city center. Each area has its own unique features. Here are our three favourite places to live in Leeds.

Roundhay

A peaceful neighbourhood for families
Average property price: £360,351

Roundhay is probably the most expensive part of Leeds. It is three miles northeast of the city centre. The area is full of Victorian homes and modern flats. The Victorian homes are near the huge 19th-century Roundhay Park, which you can read more about below.

Even though it is close to the centre of Leeds, this neighbourhood has a quiet, almost rural feel. There are a lot of bars, restaurants, delis, and cafes in Roundhay, so you’ll have something to do on the weekend. There are also a lot of great elementary and high schools in the Roundhay area. Check out Roundhay’s best schools.

Holbeck Urban Village

A trendy neighbourhood for young professionals
Average property price: £245,000

In the 18th century, Holbeck was still a small village outside of Leeds. It eventually became part of the city, and by the middle of the 19th century, it was right in the middle of everything. Holbeck is a pretty poor area of Leeds right now, but the Holbeck Urban Village is a part of it that has changed a lot in the past few years.

Along the canal, lots of new tech startups, bars, pubs, and restaurants have opened up, and the new apartments are very nice. Indie breweries like the ones near Granary Wharf are perfect examples of northern hipster culture.

Chapel Allerton

A characterful neighbourhood for all ages
Average property price: £255,622

Chapel Allerton is two miles northeast of the city center. It and York’s Bishopthorpe Road are both trying to be the “Notting Hill of the North.” It’s a village-like suburb with a mix of Victorian and modern homes, trendy bars and traditional pubs, shops and bookstores, and a lot of green space.

Locals love the row of independent shops on Harrogate Road, especially George & Joseph Cheesemongers, which came in second place in The Guild of Fine Food’s 2019 Shop of the Year Awards.

Things to do in Leeds

Leeds has a lot to offer, and the city is currently putting together a bid to become the European Capital of Culture in 2023. Here’s what we think are the best parts.

Cultural stuff

In 2017, the Times said that Leeds was the best place to live in Britain from a cultural point of view. This was even before London. The Northern Ballet, Opera North, and the West Yorkshire Playhouse are just a few of the well-known organisations in Leeds that offer entertainment all year long.

Millennium Square and Victoria Square, the city’s two main plazas, are right next to each other. The Leeds City Museum and the Leeds Art Gallery are each in one of these plazas. There’s also the Royal Armouries Museum, where you can see interesting things that used to be in the Tower of London.

Leeds is also very proud of its history in film and cinema. Did you know that Louis Le Prince made the world’s oldest surviving moving pictures in Leeds in 1888? Fans from all over the country come to the Leeds International Film Festival every year.

Great shopping

Leeds is a shopper’s dream. There are no less than eight indoor shopping malls there, and the main shopping street, Briggate, is pedestrian-only and has many arcades, some of which date back to the late 1800s.

In particular, the Victorian architect Frank Matcham made the Grade II-listed Grand Arcade, which is full of great shops that are not part of a chain. Rich marbles, gilded edges, and wrought iron arches are beautiful to look at and make you really want to spend money.

The impressive Victoria Gate opened in 2016, and at the MIPIM Awards in 2017, it was nominated for “Best Shopping Center in the World.” It has a big glass ceiling, and the biggest John Lewis store outside of London is there.

Leeds nightlife

There are a lot of things to do on a night out in Leeds. There are cosy speakeasy-style bars like The Domino, real nightclubs like Tunnel, serious music venues like Brudenell Social Club, classy wine bars like The Decanter, and a lot of charming pubs.

The oldest pub in Leeds is Whitelocks, which should be mentioned in any guide to the city. This old pub has been serving beer since 1715. It is traditional and friendly, if you can find the entrance down one of Briggate’s famous alleys.

Check out this guide for a longer list of Leeds’s best places to go out at night.

Roundhay Park

What used to be a place for mediaeval hunters to hunt is now one of the best things about Leeds. Since 1872, when Roundhay Park became a public park, nothing in Leeds has been able to beat it. At 700 acres, it is one of the biggest city parks in Europe. It has a lot of trees, lakes, gardens, and most importantly, space. There are also lots of interesting birds and butterflies in the park’s Tropical World (especially herons and woodpeckers).

If you like sports, Roundhay Park has just about everything you could want. In the park, there are football fields, tennis courts, a golf course, a skate park, bowling greens, canoe clubs, grass for running, and lakes for swimming.

Moving to Manchester

By admin

An overview of Manchester

The UK’s second most populous city has a long history of culture, industry, and success that shapes its exciting present and future.

Manchester started out as a small Roman settlement called Mamucium almost 2,000 years ago. Since then, it has grown into the world’s first industrial city and a place where scientific progress has been made. For example, Ernest Rutherford split the atom at Manchester University in 1917.

In the last two decades, this city’s economy has gotten stronger, and it is also a shining example of exciting cultural life.

The city has two football teams that have won the Premier League, bands like Oasis, the Bee Gees, and the Stone Roses, and nine restaurants with Indian, Spanish, and French food, as well as the famous and delicious Curry Mile.

And don’t believe the myth that it rains every day, because it only does that 39% of the time, or 143 days a year.

The cost of moving to Manchester

The cost of moving to Manchester will depend on where you come from and what you bring with you, just like any other move.

If you want to move the contents of a three-bedroom house, which is about 875 cubic metres, from London to Manchester, you can expect to pay an average of £1,341.

This includes:

loading and unloading

packing services and materials

dismantling and reassembling furniture

the fee for distance travelled

Around 210 miles separate London and Manchester, and most moving companies charge £1 per mile.

The final price you pay will also depend on when you move, which moving company you choose, and whether or not you need any extra services.

Cost of living in Manchester

Some of the most expensive football players in the world live in the UK’s second city, but it’s much cheaper to live there than in many other British cities.

Manchester is not one of the top 20 most expensive cities in the UK (source: Lloyds Bank, 2019), but it was ninth in terms of house price growth, which shows that it’s a city on the rise.

Here’s a look at how much different things and services will cost in Manchester.

Property prices

Most of the time, house prices in Manchester are very low.

In Zoopla’s 2019 UK Cities House Price Index, Manchester was ranked 11th out of 20 cities in the UK, with a price-to-income ratio of 5.9.

That’s less than the UK average of 6.7, and it’s even better when you consider that a house will cost you 13.1, 12.2, and 11.9 times your salary in London, Cambridge, and Oxford, respectively.

Over the past year, the average house price in Manchester has gone up by 3.95 percent, to £202,905. But the average price of a flat is much lower at £185,742, and the average price of a terraced house is even lower at £154,469. (source: Zoopla, 2020).

If you want to rent a home in Manchester, you can expect to pay an average of £775 per month,

Council tax

In Manchester, the council tax bands for 2020/21 range from A (£1,149.80) to H (£3,449.42), depending on the type of property and where it is. If you or someone who lives with you is disabled, you can also get a lower rate.

Bills for electricity

Like house prices, electricity bills in Manchester are likely to be around the average for the UK.

The average fixed cost of electricity in the North West is £86.40 per year, which is only £1.78 more than the UK average of £84.62.

And the average variable unit price of electricity in the North West is 17.7p

Public transport in Manchester

There are many great places to walk or ride a bike in Manchester, but the city is too big for most people to walk everywhere. It’s lucky that its public transportation is great.

The city built the first passenger railway station between cities, and it has never stopped coming up with new ideas. Manchester now has many buses, trams, and trains that run from 6 a.m. to midnight every day of the week.

You can even take a free bus around the city centre, and many trains go between Manchester and nearby places like Oldham, Rochdale, and Wigan.

For just £19.50, you can use any bus in Manchester for a week with a System One travelcard. If you want to ride trams or trains as much as you want with this deal, it will cost you an extra £20.

On the new Transport for Greater Manchester site, you can find out

Working in Manchester

Manchester is doing well, and so could you.

The 2019 Vitality Index from Lambert Smith Hampton, which looks at cities and towns outside of London, says that Manchester is the third-best place in the UK for growth.

The Office for National Statistics says that there were 22,850 businesses in Manchester in March of 2020. That means that for every 123 people in Manchester, there is one business.

Financial, legal, and business services, media, real estate, biotechnology, digital and creative services, and global sports brands are all important industries in Manchester.

Large companies like The Co-operative Group, Umbro, and the Peel Group are based in the city. International brands like Adidas, Kellogg’s, and Siemens have their UK headquarters in Manchester.

Manchester also has five top-notch universities that serve around 100,000 students each year. The city is also trying to become a zero-carbon city by 2038, which shows that it is looking to the future.

Average salary in Manchester

Payscale has found that the average full-time salary in Manchester is £29,000. This is a little less than the average salary in the UK, which was £30,800 in 2020.

Things to do in Manchester

Culture

As you might expect from such a big and varied city, there are a lot of cultural things to do in Manchester if you’re lucky enough to live there.

From the pre-Raphaelite paintings in the Manchester Art Gallery to the mediaeval beauty of Manchester Cathedral and the John Rylands Library to the fossilised T-Rex in the Manchester Museum, the city has enough cultural activities to break every stereotype about the north.

Make sure to also visit the Manchester Opera House, which shows how different the city is. You can watch the Moscow City Ballet perform Swan Lake one week and Trixie Mattel, a famous

History

Anyone interested in history can find a lot to do in Manchester. Visit the Imperial War Museum North to learn everything you need to know about past wars, and check out the Science and Industry Museum to learn about the city’s glorious recent past.

You can also visit the National Football Museum, which is related to what I just said. It makes sense, since clubs from Manchester have won 61% of all Premier League titles. Just clear your schedule for the rest of the day, because you won’t want to leave.

Sport

If you’re moving to Manchester, you should try to understand the culture. One way to do this is to see a live game at Old Trafford, the Etihad Stadium, or, better yet, both.

The rivalry between United and City is important in history and culture, and you can see some of the best players in the world make art with their feet.

And when you’re done admiring Kevin De Bruyne, Bruno Fernandes, and Raheem Sterling, go have some fun at the Chill Factore snow center, where you can ski, snowboard, and sledge to your heart’s content.

Manchester nightlife

Manchester has a huge number of bars, nightclubs, and music venues where you can party late into the night.

Drink award-winning cocktails at Mahiki, listen to live music in the elegance of a former Wesleyan chapel at the Albert Hall, and dance until your feet hurt at dozens of clubs, from the unique Deaf Institute to the famous art-deco Ritz.

Visit Manchester can tell you everything you need to know about every place in the city.

Moving to Brighton

By admin

Brighton is a city on the coast of England in the southeast. It is known for its piers, pavilion, and alternative vibe. It has been known for a long time as one of the most laid-back and friendly cities in the UK, which is shown by the fact that it has one of the largest gay communities in the country.

Various Londoners take advantage of the short train commute to spend a summer day at the beach and at the many restaurants, bars, and clubs that make this area the best nightlife destination for miles.

On sunny summer days, people from London, which is only an hour away by train, come down for the day to relax on the beach and check out the many pubs, restaurants, and nightclubs that make it the best place to go out for miles.

It is also a trendy city known for great shopping, especially in the Laines, where you can find small shops tucked away in narrow alleys that are perfect for exploring.

The city is a thriving multicultural centre that is trendy, lively, and exciting. It is big enough to have everything an expat could want, but small enough to feel like home. It is also surrounded by the beautiful South Downs to the north, which makes it easy to explore the beautiful countryside of southern England at any time of year.

Job market

At 2.4% of the working population, Brighton has a slightly higher unemployment rate than the rest of the country. In February 2015, there were 3,540 people without jobs, down from 4,790 the year before.

American Express is the private company that has the most jobs in the city. Its European headquarters are in Brighton, and it employs about 3,000 people, so this is a good option for expats looking for work.

Retail and tourism are two other big industries. Brighton gets a lot of visitors all year long, but especially in the summer. These visitors come from all over the world and the UK. Bars, restaurants, shops and hotels all provide potential job opportunities for expats. Also, more people are likely to visit the city after the i360, a 162-meter-tall viewing platform on the seafront, opens.

There are also a lot of language schools in Brighton. During the summer, students from all over Europe come to the city to learn English. This gives qualified ESL teachers a chance to find work.

Living costs

Brighton is one of the most expensive places to live in the UK as a whole. But it’s still cheaper than London, which makes it a popular place for commuters who want to get to London quickly without paying the higher London prices.

In 2015, NatWest’s Cost of Living Survey found that, out of 25 university cities, Brighton was the 16th most affordable for students.

Food

There are restaurants in all price ranges. A cheap meal for two costs around $15, while a mid-range meal for two costs around $50. The prices of groceries are the same as in other UK cities.

Transport

The bus system in Brighton is great, and a single trip in the city costs between $2.50 and $3.75. Taxis are also easy to find, and short trips in the city will cost between $6.25 and $12.45.
If you want to go to London often for work or fun, it takes an hour to get from Brighton to London by train. A day return off-peak costs about $35, a day return at any time costs $61, and a single costs $22.

Rent

A one-bedroom apartment costs an average of $1,095, and a three-bedroom apartment costs an average of $2,110 per month. A two-bedroom apartment costs an average of $1,572 a month to rent, while a four-bedroom house costs an average of $2,240. In the last year, rents have gone up by more than 6%, which is less than London’s 11% increase. There is a lot of competition, as three people try to get each room that comes on the market.

Transferring money to Brighton

If you want to move to Brighton, you might need to change some of your US dollars into British pounds.

So, we’ve joined forces with Wise, an easy-to-use online service for sending money internationally that uses the real exchange rate and has low fees.

How much money could you save? Well, its services can be up to 8 times less expensive than those of traditional banks.

Join the 7 million people who are already using Wise and start using it today.

Property information

In Brighton, house prices are going up. In the last year, they have gone up 11%. This is different from East Sussex, where the average rise was 6.6%. The average price is now $345,902. In England and Wales, the average price is $225,450, and in London, the average price is $598,230.

Most of the apartments in the city were once houses that were turned into apartments. But there are still a lot of homes that haven’t been turned into apartments.

23.4% of the residents own their own home, 29.9% have a mortgage, 28% rent privately, and 14.9% live in socially rented housing.

Official Housing Market Reports say that a one-bedroom apartment will cost you $1,085 to rent and a three-bedroom house will cost you $1,862. A one-bedroom apartment costs an average of $261,895, and a three-bedroom house costs an average of $511,710.

Family-friendly : Families often choose to go to Hove Park. Most of the houses here are Victorian or Edwardian semi-detached homes, and the area is known for being one of the grandest in the city, with lots of space and an upscale feel.

It’s north of the city centre and has both large row houses and single-family homes. It also has a station of its own. Families also like the area around Queen’s Park north of Eastern Road, which has a mix of large detached and semi-detached Edwardian houses as well as terraced houses.

Upmarket : The Regency squares along the seafront, such as Brunswick Square, Lewes Crescent, and Palmeira Square, have some of the most prestigious addresses. Most of these are apartments, and the ones with balconies are the most popular. Montpelier Villas is another high-end street. In 2009, it was ranked ninth on a list of Sussex’s most expensive streets.

Hip & trendy : Kemp Town in Brighton is known as the coolest place to live there. It has its own shopping district, a lively café scene, many bars and clubs, and is close to the beach. This neighbourhood is popular with students and young people, and it is also where the gay community is most active. It is mostly made up of apartments that have been changed.

Up & coming : Hanover is a popular place for students and is seen as an area that is on the rise in Brighton. Terraced houses make up Poets Corner, which is a fairly cheap neighbourhood.

Exotic Car Shipping Overseas from & to UAE

By admin

You might think that shipping cars overseas is the same no matter what kind of car you are shipping. But building an exotic car takes more care and attention at every step. The owners of exotic cars take good care of them, and they expect international shipping companies to do the same.

The Options

When shipping their cars overseas, owners of exotic cars have a number of choices. Many people choose to ship their unusual animals by plane. It is the fastest way to get there, and planes leave the UAE every day for major cities in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and other places. But shipping an exotic animal by plane is the most expensive way to do it.

A container is a cheaper way to ship something out of the country. The car is driven inside a container, which keeps it safe. The container is then put on a ship that sails to the final destination. Even though going by water is slower than by air, the money you save and the extra security can be worth it. Not all expensive cars go by air, but many exotic and classic cars that cost more than $1 million have been sent this way.

Getting The Exotic To The Departure Point

Most people choose enclosed transport when shipping exotic cars overseas so that nosy people can’t see them and the cars stay clean.

Many people also forget how low exotic cars are to the ground, which makes it hard to get on a transporter without ramps so that the front lip doesn’t get scratched. Even though the front of many modern exotic cars can be raised, this is still the case. Some transporters won’t move your exotic because it has low ground clearance.

Even though exotic cars are smaller than most, they tend to be wide. The Lamborghini Aventador is almost 2 inches wider than a full-size Range Rover. So the people who move cars have to be extra careful when putting them in tight trailers. Most of the time, this is not a problem with carriers that are closed.

Check In Process

Once the exotic car is unloaded, the vehicle coordinator looks at how it is now compared to how it was when it was picked up. If all the marks are the same, they sign off on the driver and take the car. But if there is damage that wasn’t seen, they carefully check every part of the car, inside and out, to make sure nothing was missed. Aside from “acts of god,” transporters who work with exotic cars are careful, and there are no reports of damage to cars they have moved before. When they get work, they have to meet strict rating requirements. Transporters with a history of damage might as well go into a different business.

After the cars have been inspected and pictures have been taken, they are put away until the day they leave. The cars are kept inside, in a warehouse that is monitored by cameras and has covers and tools to keep the batteries charged.

Prepare For Departure

Depending on which international shipping service is chosen, the date of departure will change. When shipping by plane, the cars are taken to the airport and put on a flight that was already planned. In some cases, that can mean that the same people leave. Most of the time, departure dates depend on what the shipper needs.

But if you choose to ship the car in a container, it will go on the next ship that has room. The most popular places in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East are where ships leave every week. Some of the more unusual places may have to wait an extra week or two before a ship can go there. Shipping companies can set up departures for the same day in advance.

Baxter Shipping, as an international moving company, Can help you in Shipping your exotic car to any part of the world.

Things to know before Relocating or Moving to Dubai

By admin

Some companies can use GDFRA-D online services to help them get visas, so check with them first before going through the process on your own.

When you apply for your visa, you should sign up for your NIC.

There are lots of ways to get around, and the Nol card works for all public transportation.

Before the global economic crisis, many large companies thought about moving to Dubai or opening a field office there as a way to make more money. Even though the economy is bad, Dubai still has a lot to offer. Many foreign companies and international financial institutions still choose to move there.

Dry Heat and Deserts

Abu Dhabi and Sharjah are two emirates that are close by. Like them, Dubai has a hot climate with little rain throughout the year but a lot of humidity along the coast. During the summer, it can get as hot as 45°C. But moving to Dubai doesn’t mean you have to leave your new home in the summer when it’s hot and humid. There is air conditioning in hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, and public transportation.

Foreigners who move to Dubai may feel overwhelmed by the desert, which makes up most of the city’s landscape. Dubai does not have any natural oases or bodies of water like its southern neighbour Abu Dhabi. But the city is split into a western part and an eastern part by a natural creek (Deira). Even though the creek has been dredged, it is still pretty big. The fastest way to get from Deira to Dubai City is by boat.

Visit or Visa?

If you are a citizen of one of the 46 countries that can get a visit visa when you arrive in Dubai, you won’t have any trouble getting into the emirate on a visit visa. People from other countries need to find a UAE citizen or resident who will sponsor them. It’s the same for people who move to Dubai for work. Employment visas are always something that your employer should help you get.

All questions about visas for expats should be sent to the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs-Dubai (GDRFA-D). It has many locations all over the city. Most of them are open from 7:30 to 20:00, but some don’t open until 8:00 and some close at 14:30. After moving to Dubai, people with questions or problems can call the Amer Service, which is a GDRFA-D customer service line.

Employment Visa

The online services of GDRFA-D help local companies whose foreign employees move to Dubai. Companies don’t have to go to the GDRFA-D in person to get entry permits because they can print them on their own. Remember that rules about visas can change. So, the best thing to do before you move is to contact the UAE consulate or embassy closest to you to find out what the rules are now.

Once the work visa is taken care of, you will need to apply for more papers. When moving to Dubai, expats are required to get a health card and a residence permit. Within 60 days of your arrival, your employer must also apply for your e-card and e-contract.

Customs and Registration in Dubai

National Identity Card

In 2006, the National Identity Card (NIC) was put into place. With its advanced ID features, it should soon replace labour cards, passports, and other forms of ID for Emiratis and expats in Dubai. When the card was first made, only Emiratis and people from the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) who lived in the UAE could sign up. Immigrant workers and people living abroad can now also sign up.

Since September 2010, children over 15 years old are also required to sign up for a National Identity Card. The Emirates ID Card is now linked directly to an application for a residence visa. This makes the whole process much easier for expats. You have to do the following things to get a National Identity Card:

Go to one of the many approved typing centres and fill out the e-form there. After that, you’ll have to pay the registration and service fees.

Then, you’ll get a text message telling you when and where to get your photo and fingerprints taken.

Go to the EIDA service your text message told you to go to, and don’t forget to bring your passport.

Have your picture, your fingerprints, and your biometric information taken.

Your National Identity Card will be sent to you in the mail.

Entering through Dubai’s Airport

People who move to Dubai will also be able to take advantage of it being a travel hub for the Middle East. Dubai is a popular place for expats and tourists alike. It has two international ports, two international airports, and its own airline. Every year, more than 60 million people go through Dubai International Airport. Here, more than 130 airlines fly to more than 200 different places.

If you want to make your arrival easier, you can use the Marhaba service to get through the airport’s passport checks faster. For a small fee, an airport worker will meet you when you get there and help you with the controls, take you to the place where you can get your bags, and help you with ground control.

Customs Regulations

Expats and visitors to Dubai need to be aware of current customs regulations before they enter the country.

Certain items, such as all kinds of narcotic drugs, are prohibited. The same applies to certain kinds of medication. If you regularly need to take a certain type of prescription medicine, make sure to bring a prescription or a medical certificate from a UAE-licensed practitioner. You should not import more than a personal supply to see you through for a period of three months.

Other prohibited items might include:

poppy seeds, qat leaf, betel leaf or nuts, niswar (a kind of chewing tobacco) and gutkha (an Indian preparation of chewing tobacco and betel nuts)

pornographic material

non-Islamic religious pamphlets

fireworks

ivory and rhinoceros horn

endangered animal species

weapons and ammunition

chemical and organic fertilizers

gambling tools

any objects that do not adhere to the religious and moral values of the UAE

Transportation in Dubai

The Modern Metro

Since 2009, the Roads and Transport Authority in Dubai has been in charge of the red and green metro lines. These two lines go in different directions and stop at different places, giving people an option besides driving. The metro is a comfortable and modern way to get around. It has separate cabins for women and children, as well as a silver class and a gold class.

People pay their fares by buying a ticket, which is called a “Nol card.” There are four types of Nol cards: red for visitors and tourists, blue for regular users, silver for occasional travellers, and gold for people who want to ride in the Metro Gold Class cabins. RTA Wojhati is a tool you can use to plan your trip (journey planner). It helps you plan your route, taking into account both the Dubai metro and other public transportation options.

On the Road

Besides cars, taxis are the most common way to get around in Dubai. You can get a taxi anywhere in Dubai, or you can book one ahead of time. There is a service for booking and making reservations online. Women who don’t feel safe or comfortable with male drivers can book “pink taxis” with female drivers.

Buses can be used instead of taxis. Different residential, industrial, and business districts in Dubai are linked by bus services. People can also take night buses and buses that go between emirates. Dubai just recently built bus stops with air conditioning to make it more comfortable for people to wait for the bus.

Like with the metro, you buy a Nol card before getting on a bus to pay for your fare. You can get them at RTA outlets, Dubai Metro stations, and a few bus stations. Dubai has 5 zones, and prices vary depending on where you want to go.

Taking the Water Route

Abras are traditional wooden boats with motors that can be used to get around on the water or to cross a creek. For 100 AED per hour, you can hire them to cruise along the creek. Most people, though, use water buses, which are run by the RTA marine agency. Commuters can choose from five different routes that cost between 2 and 5 AED per person. The Nol card can also be used to pay.

In July 2010, Dubai also started a water taxi service. Water taxis can carry up to 11 people and have ramps, LCD screens, air-conditioned cabins, and other nice features. They can leave the creek and go through the Gulf of Mexico, unlike water buses and abras.

Water taxis take people from places like Deira Old Souk or Jebel Ali Golf resort to other places. They run from 10:00 to 22:00. Passengers must call RTA or their hotel’s service staff in advance to book rides on the water taxi. When the passenger makes the reservation, they agree on the price.

How to Pack for an International Move from UAE

By admin

It is imperative that all of your furniture and other belongings be handled with the utmost care during an international move. After all, you wouldn’t want to start your new life in a foreign country by replacing broken furniture.

After gathering all of your packing materials, you should organise your packing process. For guidance in developing your own strategy, please refer to our proposed outline.

Check all the details of your new place

Take note of any pieces of furniture that may be over there. When moving across the world, if your new place has a closet already installed, there’s no need to bring your old wardrobe with you. Your new home’s dimensions, especially those of any doorways, must be known to you as well. After all, nothing is more annoying than making the trip home only to realise your couch won’t fit through the entrance.

Create an inventory of your furniture

Get a pen and paper and make a complete inventory of your home’s furnishings. An itemised list is a great tool for figuring out what to pack. You can reduce the size of the list by going through it item by item after you’ve finished listing everything. You should check the list for duplicates and items you no longer need or use.

Inspect your furniture

If you’ve got small children or pets, then you probably inspect your furniture fairly regularly for damage. You need to check the condition of each item and take photographs of any existing wear and tear. That way, if anything gets bumped in transit then you can prove it and claim on insurance (if you have it). You should also be inspecting your most delicate pieces of furniture and deciding whether they need professional packing.

Choose your packing materials

You’ll need more than cardboard boxes and packing tape for this. Corrugated cardboard, furniture blankets, and plastic stretch wrap are just a few examples of the fantastic packing materials available for international shipping. Consider the packing supplies you’ll need after you’ve made your list of what to bring. Put everything down on paper and then add a little more.

Find some strong friends

To save money on professional packers, see if any of your strong, willing friends would be interested in lending a hand. The key is to not wait until the last minute to inquire. Set a date (or dates) for when you will begin packing, and let your friends know.

Get started

A well-thought-out strategy will prevent you from wasting time and money on unnecessary items. It will also provide you with expert guidance and resources to get ready. Then it’s time to start packing!

Hiring a professional packing & international moving service in the UAE means that you won’t have to worry about buying or renting any of the packing supplies yourself. If you’re moving on your own, however, you have many options for boxes and other packing supplies.

Move Personal Effects to Singapore

By admin

If you have a valid work, student, or permanent residency permit, you can bring personal and household items into Singapore without having to pay GST (Goods and Services Tax). Citizens who return home after living abroad for a long time may also not have to pay taxes.

SINGAPORE MOVING COMPANY

Every year, we handle over a thousand removals into Singapore from all over the world. An incredible 90% of customers who relocate to Singapore will contact us again when it is time to return home or relocate elsewhere. Our customised service is unparalleled. We have earned our reputation and customer’s trust by treating each move with the same care and attention to detail while also acknowledging that each move is unique.

Top Expat Destination

Whether you’re moving to Singapore for a short-term job or as an expat, BAXTER is the best international moving company that can help you plan and carry out every step of your move. We take care of the whole process ourselves because we have a lot of experience and are good at what we do. We also have our own office and operations in Singapore. Singapore is the smallest country in Southeast Asia, and it is also one of the wealthiest countries in the world. It has some of the best infrastructure in the world and is one of the best places to do business. It is also one of the safest countries in the world, making it a great place to move with your family.

Leading Industry

The manufacturing industry is the most important one in Singapore right now, with 20–25 percent of the country’s GDP.

Average rental cost

In the middle of town $4000 a month and up

Outside of the city centre, $1800 per month and up

Biggest telecommunications providers in Singapore

Singtel is the biggest company in Singapore that helps people talk to each other. The average cost of a personal cell phone plan is SGD$60 per month.

Popular places in the city

The Boomarang bistro and bar is close to Singapore’s nightlife. Robertson Quay, which is right next to Clarke Quay, has not only the best restaurants but also the best bars. Not only are they great places to have a party, but they also allow pets. This trait is hard to find in Singapore.

Tax Singapore

People won’t have to pay taxes on income that comes from outside of Singapore. The government does not have a tax on capital gains or a single tax rate. The goal of this tax structure is to get people to invest. Personal income tax doesn’t apply to people who work on the island for less than 60 days. People who work between 61 and 183 days are taxed at a rate that is higher than 15% or the resident tax rate.

Customs

Goods and Services Tax will be paid when personal and household items are brought into Singapore (GST). People must fill out a Customs-in-payment (GST) form to keep track of the goods they bring into the country and pay GST. GST relief may be eligible to foreigners transferring residence or migrating to Singapore.

RELOCATING OR MOVING TO SINGAPORE

Singapore’s economy is one of the four Asian Tiger economies, which are Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. It is a wealthy Asian city-state. It is a thriving global financial centre and is often called the economic leader of Asia. The country takes pride in being safe and stable. It is known for having strict laws and being conservative.

BAXTER is the best choice for an international moving company, whether you are moving to Singapore for a short or long-term assignment or moving back home. We are proud to be able to move people to and from one of the most important financial centres in the world.

We can help you find a school or home, connect your utilities, lease a car, and do many other things. Just tell us what you want, and we’ll do our best to meet your needs.

What are my Shipping Options?

After looking at your budget and how long you have to move to Singapore, we will suggest the best way to get there. We offer the following moving services into Singapore at the moment:

Air freight

Groupage / Shared Shipments

LCL (Less than Container Load)

FCL (Full Container Load)

Air Freight

Most airfreight shipments are picked up and moved within 48 hours of being packed. The flight takes less than a day, but getting through Singapore’s customs could take up to 4 days. For fast shipping when price is not the most important thing.

LCL Shipments

Less than container load is what LCL stands for. This is the best way to ship your goods if it costs less than getting a quote for a full container and you don’t have time to wait for us to fill a groupage container. After your goods are packed up at your home, they will be sent to the warehouse of the consolidators to be shipped out.

FCL Shipments

Full Container Load is what FCL stands for. When we know that your goods will fill more than half of the container, it is often cheaper to book the whole container. This method of shipping has the fewest middlemen, which makes the supply chain easier to control. This also means that your goods are less likely to get damaged.
