What do I need to know before moving to Weymouth?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Weymouth, they said...
"Expats moving to Weymouth, should be aware of the following: 1. Weymouth is a coastal town located in Dorset, England, known for its beautiful beaches, picturesque harbor, and rich maritime history. 2. The cost of living in Weymouth is generally lower than in larger cities like London, but it is still essential to research housing costs and living expenses to ensure a comfortable lifestyle. 3. The town has a range of housing options, including apartments, terraced houses, and detached homes. Renting is a popular choice for expats, but it is also possible to purchase property. 4. Weymouth has a relatively mild climate, with warm summers and cool winters. Rainfall is evenly distributed throughout the year, so it is essential to be prepared for wet weather. 5. The town has a good public transport system, including buses and trains, making it easy to travel within Weymouth and to nearby cities like Bournemouth and Southampton. 6. Weymouth has a range of educational options for expat families, including state-funded schools, private schools, and international schools. It is essential to research the available options and enroll children in a suitable school as early as possible. 7. The town offers various leisure activities, including water sports, hiking, and cycling. There are also numerous cultural attractions, such as museums, galleries, and theaters. 8. Weymouth has a thriving community spirit, with various clubs, societies, and organizations catering to different interests. Joining local groups can be an excellent way for expats to meet new people and integrate into the community. 9. Healthcare in the UK is primarily provided through the National Health Service (NHS), which offers free healthcare to residents. Expats should ensure they are eligible for NHS services and register with a local GP upon arrival. 10. Finally, it is essential for expats to familiarize themselves with UK customs, laws, and regulations to ensure a smooth transition to life in Weymouth," wrote a member who made the move to Weymouth, England.
