We Understand Your Concerns, And We're With You
We know the thought of moving outside of London is overwhelming. For many of you, this is the only place you've ever known; your friends, family, doctors, schools, and support network are here. So when someone suggests relocating, it can feel like your entire world is being shaken.
At Angel Moves, we understand this. We're not here to pressure you; we're here to help you make sense of what’s happening, and why so many people are already making the move.
Why This Is Even Happening
- The UK government is in over £20 billion of debt
- Most local authorities are already bankrupt or close to it
- Council housing in London is almost non-existent
- Emergency accommodation is costing councils 10x more than private rented properties elsewhere
That means that while you still have a choice right now, there may soon come a time when you don’t.
Local authorities may be forced to relocate families to remote areas, far away, with little to no notice. That’s not a scare tactic. That’s a warning we’re giving with love.
Your Choices Right Now
- Choose where to move
- Choose when to move
- Choose who helps you move
But if you wait, that control could disappear. You could be placed anywhere, even hundreds of miles away, in places you've never heard of. Angel Moves is here to help you take back that control while you still can.
