Did you know that it’s possible to do a lot of the pre-move preparation from the comfort of your sofa, by simply using your phone? From finding your new home to planning moving day, there’s an app for just about every task related to moving into a new home.
From property search tools to maps showing how safe your new neighbourhood is, we’ve put together a list of 10 essential smartphone apps that make moving day an easy, stress-free experience.
Do you need to search for a new home or apartment? Zoopla is the UK’s most comprehensive property website with the latest property listings for sale and rental across the UK but also overseas.
You can easily search for properties in your price range and customise your search to only show results within a certain size bracket, neighbourhood, public transport route, postcode and more.
But Zoopla’s added value is definitely the comprehensive market data they provide from local information, community tools and their running costs tool which, for each listed property, gives you an idea of what you can expect to spend on monthly bills.
How long will it take you to travel to and from work each day? Many people move to be closer to their workplace, only to find that their commute has actually gotten longer because of train and bus transfers or congested traffic.
Via Michelin provides you maps, routes with real-time traffic, GPS navigation with voice guidance and community incident alerts. You can easily calculate your car, motorcycle, cycle or pedestrian routes quickly and accurately.
You can also customise your journey using Via Michelin Route Options and choosing between the shortest route, the quickest or the cheapest.
