There are many things to consider so here is our bite-size guide on making sure that you make the correct decision. LOCATION Location is an important factor when considering where to move, not only do you need to consider about where the local shopping market may be but you also need to consider factors such as the time it takes to commute to work, and if you have children, whereby the nearest primary and high school are in relation.

That equates to about 200 hours, or 5 weeks a year! NEIGHBOURHOOD • POPULATION DENSITY Where you want to live could also entirely depend on the lifestyle you lead. If you are somebody who loves the hustle and bustle of a busy City, or the quiet countryside with nice views and quiet walks, the population could be a telling part to what you can come to expect.
