The internet is an incredible source of information. It is a tool that many people moving home turn to for advice about every aspect of not only their relocation, but then maybe how to decorate their new home, or how to grow certain things in their garden.
They may want to know how to organise their new home, or how to make their new home more energy-efficient.
The problem with information on the internet is that it is often out of date, and you have to scroll through numerous search results to find the answers you want.
This is why 60% of web users read blogs every day.
Blogs are often published daily or weekly, so the content is fresh and often reflects the latest trends or thinking.
There are over 600 million blogs on the web and 7.5 million blog posts every day of the week. That is an astounding amount of information.
But with so much information being published daily it is hard to know which blogs you ought to follow.
Many thousands will be overseas-based and not relevant to the UK, whilst others may be untrustworthy, or just recycle old material from other blogs.
This is why, in this week’s home moving blog, we will look at topics that will interest people moving home, and introduce you to what we believe to be the top 3 best blogs within those topics for the UK.
The criteria will be whether we think they are blogs with great information, presented in a great way, and that will be incredibly useful for anybody planning a home move, in the middle of moving home, or who has just moved into a new home.
There is nothing scientific about our choices, just blogs that we really like and that we think will be really useful for you.

Top 3 Best UK Gardening Blogs

Many people have chosen to move away from the cities in the last couple of years seeking more space and specifically a garden. But gardening is no picnic in the park and requires not only dedication but time and money. These blogs will give you the knowledge and motivation you need.

Finding the right advice is crucial to save money and make your home move as easy and stress-free as possible
If you are moving home then you probably have a million and one questions about every aspect of your relocation.
Finding a reliable source of information and advice though is not as easy as you would imagine.
There are hundreds of home moving blogs, but sadly the advice is not always as good as it could be or is so badly presented that it is just too much effort to read it.
We found this section of our guides to blogs for people moving home probably the hardest.
So many blogs were badly written, had very little information, or were just content that is available on a hundred other blogs but written in a different way.
We were looking for unique content, written by people who have real-world experience of moving home, written in an easy-to-read way, and most importantly offered answers to questions that people moving home actually wanted answering.
The only blog that we could honestly find that fulfilled all these criteria was our own:
