Hi there!

Just as an addition to this, when my parents had their stuff shipped back to the UK from Cyprus, many moons ago, there stuff got wet and quite a lot destroyed because of it, so it may be an unlucky occurrence, but best to be safe by having your more precious stuff covered, I'd say. At least most photos and docs are stored digitally now, and maybe online or at least backed up on a removable storage device that's transported by you yourselves, but back then, they lost most of that sort of stuff except passports, birth and marriage certificates.

Good luck with the move. We're in the initial stages of planning ours now.

Purplecat is right, you should make sure any irreplacable documents and pictures etc are backed up in some way, maybe an external hard drive which you keep with you.
There is nothing more heartbreaking than losing all your family photos, memories etc which cannot be replaced.

Thank you. Think that's what we are going to do just to be on the safe side.
Best of luck with your planning, when you moving?

Well we're torn between next Summer and waiting until 6 months later. My daughter is only 8 so we will have to do it in the school holidays. But as we'll be renting for a while, I remember reading on this forum that it's better to look at rental properties in the Winter so you can see if there are any leaks or other Winter problems. We're coming out for a week in August to have a look around and talk to people and will make a definite decision then.

It's always hard to know when the time is right. Wish you all the best on your visit and hope it helps you with all your decisions :-)
