Exciting News: We’ve Joined the Relocation Agent Network

Moving Home?
Here’s How to Make the Process Easier...

Moving home is exciting but it can also feel overwhelming. Between packing, paperwork, and trying to get to know a new area, it’s easy to forget that moving isn’t just about the property, it’s about the life waiting for you once you arrive.

At Minors & Brady, we’re proud to be a member of the Relocation Agent Network (RAN), a national network of hand-picked estate agents across the UK. Our membership means we’ve been chosen for our local expertise, trusted reputation, and high standards of service. It also means we can connect you with other trusted RAN agents wherever you’re moving to, so you have reliable local advice on both sides of your move.

Here are a few tips to make your move smoother and less stressful:
1. Get to know the area before you move
If possible, spend a day exploring your new location. Visit at different timesmorning, rush hour, and evening - to get a real sense of the area. Ask your RAN agent for insights into schools, commuting routes, and hidden local gems.
2. Organise your move early
Book removals and notify utility providers as soon as your moving date is confirmed. Create a checklist for everything from meter readings to redirecting your post - small steps that prevent last-minute stress.
3. Declutter before you pack
Use your move as a chance to streamline. If you haven’t used it in the past year, consider donating or selling it. You’ll save time packing and reduce removal costs.
4. Label boxes clearly
It sounds simple, but detailed labels save hours on moving day. Note both the room and the contents—especially essentials like chargers, kettle, or kids’ bedtime items.
5. Don’t forget the emotional side
Moving can be draining, particularly if you’re leaving behind friends or familiar routines. Give yourself time to settle in, and explore new local spots one at a time.

Through the Relocation Agent Network, Minors & Brady can help make that adjustment easier by connecting you with a trusted agent in your new area - someone who knows the schools, shops, transport, and what life’s really like there.

Moving doesn’t have to be daunting when you have the right people guiding you.
