Living in the countryside is good for your mental health. The relaxed environment, fields, trees and open spaces are great for your health.

But the increase of people moving to the seaside indicates that the seaside life might be even better still. The seaside is also often linked to childhood memories for most people, and is often associated with the feeling of being relaxed and happy days.

However, some sea-side towns are better than others and house prices seem to reflect this. While you can get a house for a margin price in Hull, it is not the same for towns like Broadstairs, Whitstable, Herne Bay and Deal.

In 2018 (to September) Andrews of Kent made 120 moves to Whitstable. The company is receiving more enquiries about moving to the south-east and the coastal towns than ever before, with Broadstairs, Whitstable, Deal and Folkestone being among the most popular.

Why is this seaside town on the north coast of Kent in the southeast of England so high on the list of desirable places to live?

Why Whitstable?

Is it the beautiful beaches where you can still enjoy a walk along the promenade with a plate of locally sourced cockles? Maybe having a direct high-speed train service to the heart of London? Whitstable, like many old English seaside towns like Ramsgate and Deal, boosts tradition and it’s a town that is worth the 40-minute daily commute if you work in the city and well worth checking out if you are considering a slower pace of living in your later years.

Andrews of Kent has made 120 moves to Whitstable so far in 2018. Whitstable is a friendly town with many small independent shops, nice to get away from those- designer chain-stores.  There are many pleasant coffee shops, traditional pubs and even a playhouse theatre where you can see locally staged shows.

It’s been a very busy time for home movers and for Andrews of Kent.  Our vehicles have accumulated quite a few miles.  As well as our regional moves, we have travelled the country to locations such as Scotland, Cumbria, Oxfordshire, Surrey, Yorkshire.

Built on Reputation

Although our local reputation makes us the first choice for “people on the move” in Canterbury, Ashford, Whitstable, Broadstairs and Deal, 2018 has seen our containers taking overseas trips to the USA, Australia, Canada, France and Germany.

It’s amazing how far the company has come in the past 35 years, I wonder how many miles our vehicles have travelled in all that time, quite a few times around the world for sure. 35 years ago we were a small family run business called “Micro Removals” with just family members making up our workforce and with just 2 vehicles. Now there is nothing “Micro” about the company.  We now have a team of 10, who can arrange for any move of any size.
