Furniture can be stored as we have furniture grade container units specially for this purpose. Did you know that shipping containers are not all the same!

Books again can be stored, Food stuffs also so long as its sealed in tins. Paints also.

Infact, those selling up in the south east and relocating here may well find that after selling a flat in even less desirable areas, a far superior property with plenty of land around it with change to spare.

Of course, Cumbria has great lifestyle. The eating establishments and restaurant’s are second to none with some of the very best in the Lake District.

Taking advantage of the stamp duty to relocate to Cumbria is certainly a sensible choice in our opinion.
