What to consider when moving to the country
What to consider when moving to the country
Posted on Tuesday, 17 December 2013 07:02PM by

For many people moving to the countryside is a life-long dream. After years of coping with the hustle and bustle of city living, the thought of relocating to a peaceful rural environment is enticing to say the least. However, while country life is often fantastic,
selling your home
and moving away from an urban area is not a decision that should be taken lightly and the rural way of living is not for everyone.
If you are thinking about escaping to the country there are several things you need to consider to make sure relocating is right for you, some of the most important of which are discussed below.
Work
First and foremost you should ponder how moving to the country will affect your career. Naturally, most jobs are based in large towns and cities and employment opportunities are limited in rural areas.
If you're thinking of commuting into work this needs to be considered carefully, with cost, distance and time all taken into account. Be honest with yourself and only make the decision to commute if you think the journey is realistically doable on a daily basis.
Another thing to consider is home working. A growing number of UK businesses are embracing flexible working and modern technology means people can now operate just as effectively at home as they would in the office. However, this is only possible if you have a fast and reliable internet connection.
Connectivity
Unfortunately, internet access in many rural parts of the UK remains underdeveloped and the broadband services that are common in urban areas like fibre optic and ADSL (phone-line-based broadband) perform badly or are not available at all. This means many rural residents miss out on the benefits of the web, such as working from home, video streaming, gaming and online shopping.
However, this doesn't have to be the case, as satellite broadband is ideal for providing fast and reliable connections in the countryside. This technology connects to the web via signals sent from a satellite in space, meaning it reaches high speeds regardless of location. What's more, it's incredibly easy to set up, requiring just a small satellite dish and modem to be installed in your home.
Anyone relocating to the countryside should consider using this technology as it is arguably the best form of rural broadband and should

Services
Another thing to think about when moving to the countryside is access to key amenities. Services that you might take for granted in the city, such as shops, pubs and supermarkets, can be few and far between in rural areas and you'll often need to drive to reach them as they won't be in walking distance.
If you have children, it is vitally important to do some good research into schools in the area you're considering moving to and take into account how the kids will get there and back each day.
Sociability
Escaping to the countryside is going to have a big impact on your social life and this is something you should think about when making the move. The tight-knit community feeling present in many villages is one of the best things about rural life, but this is quite different from the social experiences you might be used to in the city.
Attractions like the cinema, nightclubs and restaurants won't be on your doorstep anymore and it's important to be fully aware of this before you relocate.
