Ann Wright, international development manager at Primelocation.com, spoke to the Daily Telegraph regarding international real estate searches which have continued to be strong in recent months.

Ms Wright explained, “Public spending cuts, increased taxation and fewer jobs have led many to re-evaluate their lives here and consider moving abroad. While the economy is in its current state, people feel that it could be a good time to leave the UK.”

Worldwide Property Group recently undertook a survey to find that Brazilian property, along with real estate in Spain, the US and the Caribbean were of the most popular destinations for British people who want to invest in a home overseas.

Earlier this month, Nigel Lewis from Digital Property Group also said that British people are the most ‘enthusiastic’ when it comes to purchasing a property abroad.

If you are considering a move abroad and need an overseas removals company that you can rely on then visit Robinsons today.

Voluntary emigration is certainly a rewarding and fulfilling experience; however forced emigration can be a stressful and distressing time.

This weekend at Dublin RDS, a working abroad exhibition will showcase employment options in several industries overseas.

Canada and Australia are the dominant force at the expo with hundreds of jobs available on offer. Organisers at the event are expecting a wide demographic than ever before.

Expo organiser Stephehn McLarnon, said, “There has been some scepticism about whether Irish people are in fact emigrating, with many believing that we are simply losing our surplus of non national workforce.

“This year we have seen not alone a marked increase in the numbers of Irish looking to relocate, but a broader demographic mix than ever before. Some people are selling their homes to restart, others are retraining to meet visa criteria, while graduates are looking for a first step on the career ladder.”

Around 50,000 people are expected to leave Ireland to start their career abroad by next year.

If you are looking to emigrate abroad and need a removals company to help with the packing and shipping of your personal belongings then make sure that you visit Robinsons removals today, the dedicated international removals shipping firm in the UK. No job is too big or too small for them.

Firstly, it is a wise move to obtain a few different quotes from removals companies so that you can compare what they can and cannot offer and how well it is tailored to your needs. Don’t automatically assume that the cheapest is the best option. When you are comparing look at what or if you get packing materials, boxes, cartons and crates and whether VAT is included. Robinsons removals company can give you a free no obligation quote.

Check to see what the process is when it comes to your move. It is essential that your removals project manager that you have been assigned too visits you to establish what the move will entail and what will be needed. In this meeting you should cover all questions and queries such as which items need special care and attention as well as any awkward or bulky items you are taking which may require the team to bring in their specialist handlers to remove it from your home.

Ask about the whole process from beginning to end. Times and dates of the shipping and delivery and how long it will take. Enquire about the packing and storage of your belongings.

If you accept your estimated quotation then make sure that you receive it officially in writing with all the information about the packing, loading, unloading, storage and special handling for breakables and valuables.

Tell the removal company if access from your old property or to your new property is likely to be difficult. Parking space for the removal lorry will also need to be considered. Such problems can add to the cost of a move and should be considered in the estimate. Don’t accept an estimate over the phone. All quotations should be in writing and include pricing for packing, loading and unloading, storage (if required), special handling for breakables and valuables and any other special requests, such as curtain hanging and cleaning.

Make sure you have a regular point of contact with your removals company who will know of your move and what is involved. This makes the experience more personal and easier to manage rather than having to speak to numerous people each and every time to explain your problem, queries or questions.

As easy as this often sounds, there is often many underlying costs that get in the way which may not be apparent on first glance.

Many countries, particularly the desired ones, have tough systems integrated to ensure that the people they allow into their country have something to offer their economy back. For example, if you have a desired skill that a country requires, they will allow you into their country on a working visa. Other countries may allow you in if you have family in the country or a sizeable amount of money to invest.  However, some countries only require you to be financially independent and not living off the state.

Doing your homework before moving abroad is essential to ensure your move is as smooth as possible.

Look to answer the following questions; Are your skills relevant to the employment market? Could you require the necessary skills? Is the culture of your chosen country different to that of the UK? If so, could you and your family adjust? Would you miss your family and friends unbearably?  It is so important to be realistic with your answers to ensure this is right for you.

On top of these primary questions, make a checklist of the following areas, making sure you are in full control and have knowledge of all incomings and outgoings before moving abroad.

1. Visas and residency

Check that the visa you are purchasing is correct for the country you are travelling to and what you need it for i.e. working visa.

Each country requires different things so make sure you are aware of what you are asking for.

2. Personal Finance

Make sure that your budgets are planned properly and realistically before you begin to move. Taxation is a complicated area, particularly when dealing with overseas moves, and need to be thought out properly.

For example Canada’s banking system does not recognise ISA’s which are tax-free in the UK, so check these grey areas before diving in.

 3. Retirement

If you are looking to retire abroad, then you must make sure that you are aware of what is involved before you flee abroad.

Look at how your pension will be handled and whether it protected in the country you are moving too.

4. Healthcare and medical treatment

Look to see whether the country you are moving to provides medical treatment for you and your family before you move abroad.

Some countries, like the USA, have private health care, while countries such as Canada and Spain offer state health care.

Make sure that if you are on regular medication, you have enough with you between leaving the UK and signing on with another doctor at your new destination.

5. Property matters

Whether you are making a clean break and selling up, or renting your home in the UK while you are away, make sure that you are fully aware of what is being paid and spent by you before you move abroad.

It is essential to seek advice from a lawyer who speaks fluent English to ensure that you know what you are signing and what you are taking on.

6. Removals services

Packing and shipping your belongings is something that should not be done alone and employing a removals company to do the hard work for you eliminates the stress and worries that come with moving house.

It is a good idea to contact an overseas removals company in advance to make sure that the move is as painless as possible.

Firstly check that the removals company you use is accredited to a trade association, such as the British Association of Removers.

Next, ensure that they can provide insurance and what it actually covers.

When given a quotation, look to see whether it includes the destination port charges, destination customs and quarantine charges.

Check to see where your goods will be stored if not shipped within the next 24 hours or have to wait in a country for their next pick up.

Ask for delivery dates and times and ensure that you are kept informed with everything from packing to unpacking of your products.

 When looking for a removals company, look to search for a company with plenty of experience. Robinsons is a specialist overseas removals company that can offer a variety of services to aid your move abroad.

With over 100 years experience in the industry, customers can track their personal belongings at any stage of the shipping, purchase insurance to cover their personal belongings, and rest assured that their items will arrive safely and securely within the set time given by staff at Robinsons.

Finding the time to deal with your household removals can be chaotic and leave you stressed and unenthusiastic about moving into your new home.

Then there are the other tasks that need to be fulfilled, including notifying your utility services that you are moving, changing addresses at your bank and notifying your landline provider that you need to change contact numbers.

With all this to consider, packing can be boring, a chore and something you would prefer to leave till the very last minute.

If you choose to do the packing by yourself, you should start by packing your belongings in large, durable boxes, to save room and money.

Packing to move home, whether you are international movers or moving down the road, is a perfect way to clear out old and unwanted items which often lay at the back of the cupboard or in the loft.

 A good idea is to send them to a charity shop or do a car boot sale, as someone else may find good use for them.

As the time approaches for you to move into your new home, you should look to book a removals company to collect your stuff to take to your new destination.

If you are looking for an overseas removals service, you should look to book earlier in advance, so they can book the necessary arrangements to get your personal belongings to your destination on time.

Make sure that you notify your local post office to re-direct any mail, until you get round to changing your address details.
