Relocating but Not Moving Far? We’ve Got You Covered!

Posted on Monday, October 25, 2021

The term ‘relocation’ is often associated with a particular notion: someone packing up their family to move cross-country or even internationally for a change in job or career and specifically at the request of and sometimes with the assistance of, their employer.  But did you know that the majority of moves RAN (Relocation Agent Network) members assist with take place within neighbouring areas and by people managing their own moves?

 

Relocating but Not Moving Far? We’ve Got You Covered!

The term ‘relocation’ is often associated with a particular notion: someone packing up their family to move cross-country or even internationally for a change in job or career and specifically at the request of and sometimes with the assistance of, their employer.  But did you know that the majority of moves RAN (Relocation Agent Network) members assist with take place within neighbouring areas and by people managing their own moves?

It’s true! According to RAN data, nearly half of all people they looked to assist were looking at short distance moves*, within their current region. Meaning that whilst the customer may have been looking to move out of their current village, town, or city, they were still looking to stay within the same region. When we move the parameters out further, over 80% of leads stayed within the same general part of the UK. Less than 1 in 20 home movers who RAN assisted moved any great distance (e.g., North to South, East to West, or vice versa).

Drivers & Norris have been hand-picked to be part of Relocation Agent Network, a national network of trusted and approved local estate agents, trusted for their ability to manage short and long-distance moves with equal depth of experience.  We are linked with agents in our neighbouring areas, and ideally placed to assist our customers with these exact types of moves.
