There are many reasons why people move cross-cities. Usually, it\u2019s for work, for university, for a new beginning, to escape from something or someone, for a loved one, for financial reasons, etc. \n\nBirmingham offers a lot of opportunities to everyone, regardless of the reason you\u2019re moving there. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n<div class=\"su-box su-box-style-default\" id=\"\" style=\"border-color:##ffb51c;border-radius:0px\"><div class=\"su-box-title\" style=\"background-color:##ffb51c;color:#333;border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px\">In this article\u2026<\/div><div class=\"su-box-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"border-bottom-left-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px\">\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"#about_birmingham\">About Birmingham<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#moving_to_birmngham_from_london\">How to move to Birmingham from London?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#cost_moving_to_birmingham\">Cost of moving to Birmingham from London?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#cost_living_in_birmingham\">Cost of living in Birmingham?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#housing_and_rent_prices\">Housing and rent prices in Birmingham<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#average_salary\">Average salary in Birmingham<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#living_in_birmingham\">Living in Birmingham<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#free_places_to_visit\">5 Places to visit in Birmingham for free<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#summary\">Summary<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"about_birmingham\">About Birmingham<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Birmingham is one of Europe\u2019s biggest cities. It has a population of over one million people and gets nearly as many visitors each year. It\u2019s been listed in various charts as a city you must visit in your lifetime.  One of the many advantages of the city is that it\u2019s in the heart of England and the centre of the rail and road network. You can easily get from Birmingham to any city in the UK. It\u2019s also quickly becoming a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youramazingplaces.com\/10-reasons-londoners-moving-birmingham\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">city that Londoners choose to move to<\/a>.  <b>Fun Fact:<\/b> It is possible to travel to 90% of the UK from Birmingham in under 4 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"moving_to_birmngham_from_london\"> How to Move to Birmingham From London?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Deciding to move might have been an easy choice for you. However, organising the actual move might not be as simple. To organise a move from London (or anywhere else) to Birmingham, you\u2019ll need to do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Do the research and call removal companies to get some quotes so you can make the best decision. The company needs to be trustworthy, preferably local, and of course, you\u2019ll need to have a budget in mind for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strongmove.co.uk\/domestic-removals\/\">removals service<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>* Pro-tip: Be careful when a certain quote is much lower than the rest you\u2019ve received. That might be a sign of a scamming moving company!<\/em><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Inform the local council of your move at least a month before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strongmove.co.uk\/blog\/cancel-council-tax-moving-house\/\">you can cancel your council tax<\/a>.<\/li><li>Make sure to Inform utility providers that you\u2019ll be moving.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Inform your landlord (for tenants) or put up your house for sale (for homeowners) at least a month in advance. The earlier you give the notice, the better.<\/li><li>Research the areas and find the one that suits you the most to live in.<\/li><li>If you\u2019re moving for a job, ask your company to assist you with the relocation and finding a place to stay.<\/li><li>When moving with children, take the time to do thorough research on where the best kindergartens and schools are.&nbsp;<\/li><li>If you\u2019re moving alone, you might want to consider shared living and find a roommate to divide the rent with.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cost_moving_to_birmingham\">Cost of Moving to Birmingham From London?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As it is located in the heart of the West Midlands, it\u2019s easy and affordable to move to Birmingham from anywhere in England, including from London. It\u2019s also roughly in the middle of the UK, and it\u2019s fairly easy to move from anywhere in the UK to Birmingham.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strongmove.co.uk\/\">removals company<\/a> will assist with everything about your move from London to Birmingham. Including moving boxes and packing materials delivery, storage, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strongmove.co.uk\/packing-services\/\">packing service<\/a>, assistance with shipping arrangements, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strongmove.co.uk\/end-of-tenancy-cleaning\/\">move out cleaning<\/a>, etc.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, the cost will vary depending on the number of services you combine with your removals. The distance from postcode to postcode and the time needed to load and unload the moving van also play a major role in forming the final price of the service. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cost_living_in_birmingham\">Cost of Living in Birmingham?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What attracts people to move there? The city has a lot to offer. Rent is 50% cheaper than it is in London. The average salary is smaller than in London, but with the inexpensive rent, the people in Birmingham also spend around 20% less on food items and utility bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"housing_and_rent_prices\">Housing and Rent Prices in Birmingham<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the area you choose to live in, you can expect to pay, on average, the following:<br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-table su-table-alternate\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Type of property<\/th>\n<th>In City Centre<\/th>\n<th>Outside City Centre<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr align=\"center\">\n<td>1-bedroom<\/td>\n<td>\u00a3550<\/td>\n<td>\u00a3350<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr align=\"center\">\n<td>2-bedrooms<\/td>\n<td>\u00a3700<\/td>\n<td>\u00a3600<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr align=\"center\">\n<td>3-bedrooms<\/td>\n<td>\u00a3900<\/td>\n<td>\u00a3700<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Property costs for sale on average are: One-bedroom flat &#8211; \u00a3160,000 Two-bedrooms &#8211; \u00a3185,000 Three-bedrooms &#8211; \u00a3200,000 Remember that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strongmove.co.uk\/blog\/how-long-to-buy-house\/\">the process of buying a house can be long and tedious<\/a>, so be careful when you leave your current property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cost of Utilities in Birmingham&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It depends on the type of property and the number of people living in it, but on average, you can expect to pay around \u00a390 for a small apartment and over \u00a3130 for bigger flats and more people inhabitants. This sum includes energy, water, and heating\/cooling, but not council tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-2\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<p><strong>Check also:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strongmove.co.uk\/blog\/moving-to-europe-after-brexit\/\">Moving to Europe After Brexit<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Birmingham Council Tax When Moving House<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When moving to Birmingham, you must inform the council you\u2019re moving out of and the local council in the area in Birmingham that you\u2019re moving to. Even if you\u2019re moving from one to another in Birmingham address, you\u2019ll still need to do that. For example, if you live in London, you will need to cancel your council tax there and inform the local council in Birmingham to set you up an account there.  What you\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Give them the current address<\/li><li>Give them your new address<\/li><li>And the dates for the moving out and moving in <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p> For more information about bands and charges in Birmingham, check <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birmingham.gov.uk\/info\/20005\/council_tax\/224\/council_tax_bands_and_charges\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"average_salary\">Average Salary in Birmingham&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.payscale.com\/research\/UK\/Location=Birmingham-England%3A-Birmingham\/Salary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PayScale<\/a>, data collected in 2019 shows that the average annual salary in Birmingham is around \u00a322,000. It seems much less than London\u2019s average, which is around \u00a336,000. However, the monthly expenses &#8211; transportation, food, utilities, rent &#8211; in Birmingham are more inexpensive. So you will earn less, but you\u2019ll also have fewer expenditures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Birmingham Expensive to Live in?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It depends on the lifestyle you\u2019re used to. As we said, the average salary in Birmingham is around \u00a322,000, and the rent is much cheaper than in London, as are most products, public transportation, and even utilities. So, it depends on how much money you\u2019re used to spending.  One of the biggest expenses a young family has is childcare. Although childcare expenses are smaller than the UK average, they can be quite costly to people with children under 3 years old, says an article in Birmingham live. It can get up to an annual tax of \u00a35,500 for a 2-year-old to go to kindergarten. The monthly tax for children older than two years is cheaper; for some, kindergarten can even be free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"living_in_birmingham\">Living in Birmingham<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Being the second-largest city in England after the capital, Birmingham has a lot to offer. Located in the heart of the UK, it draws people from different cultures, different ends of the UK and the world, and of different ages.  Birmingham has the second strongest economy in the UK, second only to London. Job openings are not scarce in the city. Some of the key industries in Birmingham are production and manufacturing, logistics and distribution, business services sector, public and health, financial and insurance sectors.  Many of its areas offer green spaces, schools and kindergartens. The nightlife isn\u2019t bad either. In fact, Birmingham is only second to London in the number of Michelin stars restaurants.  The city has over three universities that attract young people looking for the best place to get their higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Places to live in Birmingham<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many young families with small children choose to move to <b>Harborne<\/b> &#8211; it is close to the inner city and city centre, plus it has a lot of open green space &#8211; perfect for children to play. <b>Halesowen and Bourneville<\/b> have great schools, parks and green spaces, and easy access to the city centre. <b>Jewellery Quarter<\/b> is also among the most preferred areas. It is near the city centre, has tranquil green spaces, and offers job positions in the jewellery business. The area is predominantly inhabited by young people. Digbeth and Erdington are two of the most promising areas for young entrepreneurs. They are close to the city centre, and the other surrounding areas make them appealing to business startups.  Other areas that deserve mention are Kings Heath &amp; Moseley, Edgbaston, Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, Kings Heath, and Bearwood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"free_places_to_visit\">5 Places to Visit in Birmingham for Free<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest tourist attractions in the city is the Tolkien Trail. And it\u2019s free. There isn\u2019t a designated tour guide to accompany you on the journey. There are a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birminghamupdates.com\/a-tolkien-tour-of-birmingham\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">couple of parks and places that are linked to Tolkien\u2019s life in Birmingham<\/a> that you can visit yourself for free. Many of the museums and art galleries in the centre of the city are also free to enter. Exhibitions are changing, and the art galleries are offering great selections of contemporary and classical art. You can visit the new Library of Birmingham, which is home to the Shakespeare Memorial Room. The library also offers a garden terrace with a spectacular view of the city. Visit the city&#8217;s canals, and you\u2019ll feel as if you\u2019re in Venice. Birmingham doesn\u2019t have more canals than Venice, Italy, as the myth states. But that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t enjoy the canal network. Free live music on the regular for the music fans. The Symphony Hall hosts music performances and workshops in its cafe bar, and they are free for the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"summary\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope that this article answers some of your questions about moving to Birmingham.
