Relocating to a new country?

Relocating to a new country can can be quite exciting but daunting a the same time! Especially when the whole family is involved.

Craven House has welcomed many relocating guests over the years, including plenty of families. So we have pulled together a few helpful tips to think about to help your relocation go as smoothly as possible!
Visit your new location before you move
If it is at all possible, try and visit your new city/town before you move. This will be a huge bonus and help you feel at ease after you’ve actually relocated as it will be familiar. Make sure you do plenty of online research. The culture of a new city can be daunting so it’s best to be prepared as much as possible.

Local community
Most places have a strong expat community. Find local blogs and forums for useful tips and contacts in your new location. But – don’t let this stop you from mixing with the locals too. You’ll feel ‘at home’ much quicker.
Health and wellbeing
Knowing where your local, English-speaking doctors surgery or medical centre is located will give you massive reassurance.
New lifestyle
Many many new countries have different customs, dress codes, cultural attitudes compared with your native ones. Looking into how the local community works will save awkward moments once you’ve arrived.
Home from home
It’s not always ideal to select your new property whilst you are still living hundreds of miles away in your home country. That’s why many people start their relocation in temporary accommodation. Serviced apartments are the one of the better choices. Why? well, they give you so much more space, flexibility and privacy over a standard hotel room. Plus you can come and go as you please and eat in our out depending on how you feel! I truly believe staying in a serviced apartment will help make your initial move easier.
