Move to Poole Today
Moving to Poole will offer a whole new range of opportunities and activities open for you to take part in. With a lot to offer, here are just some of the great benefits of moving to Poole:
In 2013, Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour was voted as Britain’s best nature reserve. Alongside this, the surrounding area is known for its rich botanical diversity.
Poole is home to the second biggest natural harbour in the world and boasts some of the most expensive properties in Britain.
Beautiful public parks, with miles of sandy beaches, makes for a great stroll in the outdoors.
There are current plans in the work that aim to regenerate the town centre, to celebrate Poole’s heritage, promote Poole as a cultural and tourist destination, as well as have a transformational impact.
The schools throughout Poole, and in the local areas (Christchurch and Bournemouth) are of incredibly high standards.
History of Poole
It is estimated that Poole has been inhabited for at least 2500 years, especially the area around the North harbour.
During the early 18th century, Poole was the central hub for North American trading ships, having more than any other port in Britain.
Major redevelopments occurred after World War II, and this saw the creation of a general hospital, a large indoor shopping centre and more public housing.
Today, in Poole, the town is incredibly vibrant, with multiple events occurring throughout the year, including ‘Light Up Poole’, which sees more than 40,000 people witness the annual festival of digital light art every February.
Make sure you’re around in August for the Bournemouth Air Festival, an incredible aerial display spread over 4 days; you’re sure to remember the experience for a long time after.
Poole has it all, incredible connections to nearby towns and London, beautiful views, gorgeous beaches, and everyone knows this and celebrates through all of these events year on year.
Poole Property Prices
Poole has seen enormous increases in property prices over the past 5 years, reaching 16.52% on average.
There are property developments currently taking place, one of which should see the construction of 62 new homes in Cranford Heath Road, Poole.
The average house price in Bournemouth is currently £ 364,615. This is just over the average for the county of Dorset by £4000.
In the past 12 months, the property market here has stagnated, meaning this could be the best time to purchase your dream property here in Poole.
In terms of property types, flats in Poole sold for an average of £302,235 and terraced houses for £273,753. This is according to Zoopla estimates, February 2020.

Poole Schools
With two superb towns nearby, Poole has a wide choice of education for all ages.
A vast choice of primary schools are available to you, with the best in the area being Baden-Powell and St Peter’s Church of England Junior School; Longfleet Church of England Primary School and Old Town Infant School and Nursery. All of these schools received a ‘Good’ rating from Ofsted.
This being said, you’re choice of school is mostly to be dependant on where you live, and you will likely have to be within a given radius to be accepted to any of these schools.
When it comes to secondary schools, the majority of parents aim to get their children into Bournemouth School for Boys and Bournemouth School for Girls.
While these may be a short distance away, both schools have fantastic standards; both received an ‘outstanding’ from Ofsted and almost every student (98%) obtains 5+ GCSEs between an A* and C (the national average is 60%).

Frequently Asked Questions About Removals in Poole
How much does a removal company in Poole cost?
The cost of removals in Poole depends on several factors, including the size of your property, the volume of furniture and belongings being moved, the distance between your old and new homes and the access available at both properties.
Additional services such as professional packing or storage can also affect the overall cost.
The most accurate way to establish the price of your move is to arrange a removals survey. Maidmans can assess your individual requirements and provide a detailed, no-obligation quotation based on your specific move.
Why should I choose Maidmans for removals in Poole?
Maidmans is an established removals company based in Poole, Dorset, and has been helping people move since 1979.
The company provides local, nationwide and international removals alongside professional packing and storage services. Being based in Poole also gives the team extensive local knowledge of the town and surrounding area.
Maidmans is a member of the British Association of Removers, providing additional reassurance when choosing a professional removals company.

From its Poole base, Maidmans provides house removals, commercial removals, storage, packing and other moving services across Poole, Bournemouth and the wider Dorset area.

The company also provides removals across the wider Dorset area and can arrange nationwide and international moves.
Can Maidmans help me move from Poole to another part of the UK?
Yes. Maidmans provides nationwide removals for customers moving from Poole to destinations throughout the UK.
Long-distance moves can involve additional planning around travelling time, property access, completion dates and the volume of belongings being transported. Maidmans can coordinate your move from collection in Poole through to delivery at your new home.
Can Maidmans help if I am moving to Poole?
Yes. Maidmans can help customers relocating to Poole from elsewhere in Dorset or another part of the UK.
The team can coordinate the collection, transportation and delivery of your belongings to your new Poole property. Professional packing and storage can also be incorporated into your moving plan if required.
Do Maidmans offer packing services for removals in Poole?
Yes. Maidmans provides professional packing services for customers moving in and around Poole.
Professional packing can be particularly helpful if you are short of time, moving from a larger property or have fragile and valuable possessions that require additional protection.
The removals team can use appropriate packing materials and techniques to prepare your belongings for transportation and help protect them throughout the move.
Do Maidmans provide storage in Poole?
Yes. Maidmans provides secure storage from its Poole facility.
Storage can be useful if there is a gap between moving out of your current property and gaining access to your new home, if you are downsizing or renovating, or if you simply need additional space.
Storage can also be incorporated into your removal so belongings can be collected, stored and delivered when your new property is ready.
Can I arrange a video survey for my Poole removal?
Yes. Maidmans offers video surveys for customers who would prefer a convenient alternative to an initial home visit.
During the survey, you can show the surveyor the rooms, furniture and belongings that need to be moved while discussing access and any particular requirements.
This enables Maidmans to understand the scale of the move and prepare an appropriate quotation.
Do I need a removals survey before moving home in Poole?
A removals survey is recommended because every move is different.
The survey helps establish the amount that needs to be moved as well as factors such as stairs, parking, narrow access, large furniture and fragile or valuable belongings.
This information allows Maidmans to plan the appropriate team, vehicles and equipment and provide a quotation based on your individual move.
How far in advance should I book a removal company in Poole?
It is generally best to contact your removal company as early as possible, particularly if you expect to move during a busy period.
You do not necessarily have to wait until contracts have been exchanged before obtaining a quotation. Arranging a survey early gives you more time to organise packing, storage and other requirements before the moving date is confirmed.
Can Maidmans move fragile, valuable or large items?
Yes. If you have fragile, valuable, heavy or unusually shaped items, these should be discussed during your removals survey.
Items such as artwork, antiques, mirrors, large furniture and other delicate possessions may require additional packing, protection or handling arrangements.
Identifying these items in advance allows the Maidmans team to plan your Poole removal appropriately.
Do Maidmans provide office removals in Poole?
Yes. Maidmans provides professional commercial and office removals throughout Poole and the wider Dorset area.
The team can help businesses relocate office furniture, equipment, documents, IT systems and archive storage while carefully planning the move to minimise disruption.
Services can also include crate hire, storage and secure shredding depending on the requirements of the business.
Can Maidmans provide storage during an office move in Poole?
Yes. Commercial storage can be incorporated into an office or business relocation.
This can be particularly useful when a new workplace is not immediately ready, when a business is moving in stages or when furniture, equipment or archived documents need to be stored temporarily.
Can Maidmans help with international removals from Poole?
Yes. Maidmans provides European and international removals for customers relocating from Poole.
International moves generally require more planning than local removals, including transportation arrangements, documentation and destination requirements.
Maidmans can help coordinate the moving process and arrange transportation of your belongings to destinations overseas.
Does Maidmans provide removals between Poole and Bournemouth?
Yes. Maidmans provides removals between Poole, Bournemouth and the surrounding areas.
As Maidmans is based in Poole and regularly serves the wider Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area, the team has extensive experience handling local moves between neighbouring towns as well as moves further across Dorset.
Can Maidmans help with a move to or from Sandbanks?
Yes. Maidmans can provide removals to and from Sandbanks and surrounding areas of Poole.
Properties in and around Sandbanks can sometimes involve particular access, parking or handling considerations. These can be discussed during the removals survey so the team can plan the move appropriately.
What should I look for when choosing a removals company in Poole?
When choosing a removals company in Poole, look for an established business with relevant experience, professional standards, suitable insurance and a clear quotation process.
It is also worth checking whether the company belongs to a recognised trade organisation such as the British Association of Removers and whether it can provide any additional services you may require, including packing and storage.
Choosing a local Poole removals company can also be beneficial because the team will be familiar with the surrounding area and common local access considerations.
Is Maidmans a BAR member?
Yes. Maidmans is a member of the British Association of Removers, commonly known as BAR.
BAR members must meet membership requirements and follow the organisation’s Code of Practice, providing customers with additional reassurance when selecting a professional removal company.
Can Maidmans help with short-notice removals in Poole?
Maidmans may be able to accommodate a short-notice removal depending on crew, vehicle and date availability.
If your completion date changes or you need to move sooner than expected, contact the team as early as possible so they can discuss your requirements and determine what options are available.
How do I get a removals quote in Poole?
To get a Poole removals quote from Maidmans, provide some initial information about your current property, where you are moving to, the approximate moving date and the size of your move.
A removals survey can then be arranged to assess your belongings, property access and any additional services you may require, such as packing or storage.
Maidmans can then prepare a quotation based on the specific requirements of your move.
