How do you move long distance?

[Cornishandbored]

Just that really! I live in Cornwall and I want to move up country.

Somewhere near East Midlands or North East.

Cornwall is beautiful and so friendly but our family need a change and we feel utterly crushed / trapped by high house prices & shite pay.

So what order do we do stuff? I’d rather rent a 2nd property in the new location while our home in Cornwall sells - is that how you do it?

There’s more work up north for us both too and we have family scattered around up there so we wouldn’t be lonely.

Any advice would be fab as my mind is in one big confused whirl!!

How long does it take to move? I’d leave tomorrow if I could

You can get specialist insurance for empty properties, worth calling a couple of brokers to see what they can put together for you.

It was rented for most of the time we were away, bar times when we were having work done, and from June last year til October when we moved back in. There are firms which do empty property insurance, but they get a bit funny if it is completely empty, as if they can't understand that one would need furniture with you, rather than it sitting in a house you weren't using.

Ahhh thanks both! So I’ll need to keep some random bits of furniture in the house then

Love it!

DH got the job up country too! Wooop
