Move at Your Own Pace
Deciding to move to another country means a big change with a lot to organise. The last thing you want to do when you get there is to have to go out and buy all new furniture, and this is where we can help. We understand that moving to Germany or any other Western European country means that you’ll have a lot of other things going on, and so we try and make moving your furniture as hassle-free as possible.
If you are renovating your property, then no doubt you won’t want to receive all your furniture at the same time as you’ll have nowhere to put it. When you’re relocating to Germany, you don’t want to have to be back and forth in a rented vehicle to pick up items of furniture as you go, which is why we can help you move in stages. We will store your possessions and deliver them to you on the dates you specify, so you can move in to your new home over a gradual period of time rather than trying to deal with everything at once. With two weeks Long and Short Term Storage, you needn’t feel like you need to rush the process.
If you’re moving to Berlin, it’s even easier because we carry out weekly trips to this and many other cities around Europe, thereby making it possible to give you even cheaper prices. Call or email us now and we’ll give you a quote, or you can use our online free quote service if you prefer.
Belgium: Culture and More!
Europe has a lot to offer, and it is arguably the most diverse continent on the planet, with each European nations having its particular way of doing things. Surely one of the most interesting and perhaps underrated European nation is Belgium, which although one of the smallest countries in Europe certainly punches above its weight in terms of cultural intrigue, history etc.
Food and Drink
Whilst France might enjoy the title of gastronomic capital of Europe, if not the world, Belgium is is just as exciting when it comes to food and drink, and drawing upon its uniquely diverse culture, you’ll be struck by just how varied and delicious Belgian cuisine can be. In fact, there are some things that Belgium does best in the world, for example Belgium produces over 800 kinds of beer as well as lots of lovely, world class chocolate.
Culture
Belgium is unique in that it is an especially diverse culture, and there are several languages native to the country, including English, French and Flemish, and the capital of the nation Brussels is officially trilingual. Rather than seeing the abundance of language in Belgium as a challenge, anyone moving to Belgium should see it as a testament to the uniqueness and the cultural intrigue that Belgium, one of the most special European nations, has to offer.
So, relocating to Belgium could be one of the most exciting decisions that you ever make, and at European Removal Experts its our business to take the hassle out of that European move!
Moving to France – Things You Don’t Need
Moving to France can be a great change of scenery, however despite the relative ease of moving to another EU country it can still be a very daunting experience. There might be a temptation to take all of your home comforts when you move, however this – depending on what your planning on taking of course – could be a mistake.
So what kinds of things will your definitely not need?
Well considering that France is an highly developed nation you don’t technically need anything, however some things just wont work; for example, certain fittings such as door knobs will be different in France than they are in the UK; therefore, especially if your going over to France to renovate, this could cause an issue.
Electrical goods will also cause a potential issue, and, for example, PAL televisions will only work in monochrome. Also, any electrical items will require an adaptor to work in the plug, and some might not work altogether due to the different voltage. The best advice, when it comes to white goods and electrical items would be to buy them in France, as this will on the one hand ensure that they function, whilst on the other hand save you on removal costs when moving to France.
Whilst some of your UK items aren’t going to work in France, surely one of the best things about moving to France is that you get to try new things, and therefore if you are pining for your home comforts, just think of all that fine wine and cheese!
Moving To Switzerland To Save On Tax
There has been a lot of speculation in the media about tax rises affecting those with a considerable amount of money in the bank, which is why many people maybe thinking about moving to Switzerland. For those who are considering relocating to Switzerland it is important to be aware that you will be required to relinquish your UK residency, so if you are in the enviable position of moving to Switzerland, there are some things regarding the tax consequences you should expect.
If you are moving to Switzerland, you become a tax resident if you are in the country for a minimum period of 30 days and you are working, or you have been in the country for 90 days without working. If you wish to remain a permanent citizen you must apply for a Swiss Residence Permit, and anyone from the European Union will receive beneficial treatment when it comes to obtaining these permits.
Once you are settled after moving to Switzerland, you will be granted a residency permit, but you must live in Switzerland to retain your residency status. If you are unable to spend 180 days a year in the country after relocating to Switzerland, you must ensure you do not spend more time in any one country than you do in Switzerland. Failure to meet these criteria will result in you not being considered as a Swiss resident.
If you are relocating to Switzerland you will of course take the best legal advice, and you will also want the experts to look after your move. We at European Removal Experts are the experts when it comes to looking after those who are moving to Switzerland, moving to Holland, or moving to any country in Europe.
The Benefits of Travel
In the recent general election, one of the hot topics was that of immigration and the effects this has on jobs. With the development of the European Union one of the key changes has been with border controls. People who live in E U member states are no longer considered citizens of just their country of birth but are also citizens of Europe. As such they have rights to travel and work in other member states and are entitled to the benefits not only of their country of origin but also of the country they move to. This has led to the development of a more flexible mobile workforce.
When we think of UK citizens moving abroad we usually think of people buying holiday homes and moving to France or Spain. However if we consider countries like Germany it is more likely that people will be moving there because of work.
If you are considering moving to Germany then we at European Removal Experts can help to make the transition as pain free as possible.
Once there it is also good to know that under EU legislation citizens of one country are entitled to the same benefits such as medical help.
Sometimes these benefits continue to be paid directly by the UK directly to you and sometimes they are paid to the country you are resident in and they in turn provide the same service as would be received by a native resident.
Also once you are working and paying into local tax and social insurance packages you are also entitled to additional benefits such as unemployment benefit and assistance when looking for work.
It is therefore good to know that even when making a big step like moving to Germany, you will not be without support should things not go entirely as planned.
An Easy Removal To South Of France
Moving house should be a time of joy and anticipation of the new environment and possibilities that await. This should only be amplified by not only moving house but moving country as well. At European Removal Experts we aim to keep the excitement and anticipation of moving by providing you with a thoroughly professional service that is designed to give you every confidence your belongings will arrive on time and in the exact same condition they left, even if we have provided storage options for you. As one of the UK’s best removals and storage companies we are members of certain independent organisations who ensure that we constantly strive for the best levels of quality. These include The Removers and Storers who ensure that our customers receive the highest levels of protection in the removals industry. When you choose us as your removal company, you also get this peace of mind because we are dedicated to providing a quality service on which you can always rely.
When it comes to removals to South of France, there are many different hazards to take into account. The method of transport across the channel is particularly important since ferries can be particularly rough. This is why we opt for the Eurotunnel. This not only gets you a service that can be run around the clock but it also ensures that nothing is held up due to bad weather conditions. Our vehicles also have breakdown cover across Europe which means that we can always call on assistance should there be a problem. Unlike other companies, this means that we will be able to give you an estimated time of arrival rather than all of your belongings being stuck in a potentially hazardous place somewhere.
France is a particularly good country to move to for a whole host of reasons, but one of the best cultural places to move to is Paris. The capital is quite easy to get to and with our experienced drivers we will be able to give you an exact times of arrival. We can also offer you fantastic rates on partial or small loads, even for single items. You do not need to fret about the delivery of a piano, for instance, since we have all of the experience and equipment to get it to you in perfect condition. If you are interested in a quote then you can simply click on our Free Quote Service which comes with no obligation. You will however need to have a complete list of your goods and as well as information on the size of your property. It also helps if you have an idea of the size of the load in cubic metres, although this isn’t always necessary and can be estimated. You will also need to have information about the place you are moving to, most notably which floor it is on. Those in flats will obviously require a lot more manual moving than ones who are on ground floors. Being able to park near the entrance will also affect this.
Germany isn’t Boring! – A Few Facts About the Nation
All nations have their little quirks, and Germany is no exception. In fact, Germany is packed full of interesting little idiosyncrasies that make it not only one of the most interesting places to live or visit, but also one of the weirdest, which could make relocating to Germany one of the best decisions you ever make!
First we’ll start by exploding some of the myths associated with all things German, and the idea that somehow Germany is a little boring. In reality this couldn’t be further from the truth, and anyone moving to Germany will pretty much immediately discover that it is one of the most vibrant and culturally intriguing places on the planet.
Did you know, for example, that there are more than 150 castles in Germany, some of them still inhabited by German aristocrats? Of course, anyone moving to Germany is unlikely to be relocated to a castle; however, many are open to the public and make great days out.
There are also plenty of quirks about the German nation that you might find it a little difficult to get your head around to begin with. For instance, the German working week actually includes a Saturday; therefore when checking train or bus times, for example, you should be aware of this.
You mightn’t immediately think of Germany as a natural as well as a cultural “vunderland” but in fact a massive 31% of the nation is covered with forests and woodland. This means that anyone moving to Germany will never be more than a few hours drive or train ride from some truly world class countryside.
