About Move Sussex

Move Sussex exists to help you make informed decisions about living in and exploring one of England's most beautiful counties. We provide honest, practical information without the marketing hype.

Why We Created Move Sussex

Sussex offers an exceptional quality of life that attracts people from across the UK and beyond. Nestled between the South Downs National Park and the English Channel, this historic county combines stunning natural beauty with vibrant towns, excellent schools, and strong transport links to London.

However, finding reliable, comprehensive information about Sussex proved frustratingly difficult. Estate agent websites focus on selling properties, not providing genuine area insights. Tourist sites ignore the practical realities of living here. Local forums offer valuable experiences but lack structure and completeness.

Move Sussex fills this gap. We created a single resource that covers everything you need to know about Sussex—from finding the right town or village, to understanding the property market, discovering local attractions, and settling into Sussex life.

What Makes Move Sussex Different

Honest Information

We tell you the truth about Sussex, including the challenges alongside the benefits. Not every town suits everyone. Some beaches disappoint. Certain areas have traffic problems or expensive housing. We discuss these realities honestly so you can make informed decisions.

Our guides aren't written to sell properties or boost tourism numbers. We're not paid by estate agents, developers, or local councils. This independence allows us to provide genuinely useful information rather than promotional content disguised as advice.

Local Knowledge

Move Sussex draws on extensive local knowledge across both East and West Sussex. We understand the differences between coastal towns and inland villages. We know which areas offer the best value, where schools excel, and how transport links actually work in daily life.

This knowledge comes from living in Sussex, exploring the county thoroughly, and speaking with residents, business owners, and community members. We've walked the beaches, visited the attractions, and experienced the reality of Sussex life beyond the postcard images.

Comprehensive Coverage

We don't just focus on Brighton and the obvious tourist destinations. Move Sussex covers the entire county, from popular towns to overlooked villages, from famous beaches to hidden coastal gems. Whether you're interested in Chichester's cultural scene or Eastbourne's quieter coastal lifestyle, we provide detailed information.

Our coverage extends beyond property and moving advice. We explore Sussex's attractions, outdoor activities, history, food scene, and cultural offerings. This comprehensive approach helps you understand what life in Sussex actually involves, not just where you might live.

Sussex: A County Worth Knowing

Sussex truly offers something special. The combination of coast and countryside creates incredible diversity within a relatively compact area. You can walk through ancient woodlands in the morning, explore historic towns at midday, and watch sunset over the sea in the evening—all within Sussex.

The county's history enriches the present. Roman roads, Norman castles, medieval churches, and Georgian architecture provide constant reminders of Sussex's long story. This history isn't just preserved in museums—it's woven into the landscape and communities.

Sussex's cultural scene surprises many newcomers. Brighton's creative energy, Glyndebourne's opera, Chichester's theatre, countless galleries, festivals, and literary connections create a rich cultural life. The county attracts artists, writers, musicians, and creative people who contribute to its vibrant character.

Most importantly, Sussex combines all these attractions with genuine livability. Good schools, excellent healthcare, strong communities, varied employment, and balanced lifestyle make Sussex more than just a beautiful place to visit—it's a wonderful place to live.
