How difficult is it to move to London with 2 dogs?

Good luck finding anyplace in London for £1200 a month. I'd contact a Realtor or rental agent to see if they could find a place on the outskirts of London that would be affordable and commutable.

It depends. Where are you moving from? Perhaps this will help. https://www.gov.uk/pet-travel-informati … pet-owners

It's quite expensive to fly them. From America the only airlines I found that would fly pets to England was British Airways. It's quite complicated but you can do it without quarantine if you follow the rules.  They have to be Micro-chipped and vaccinated and depending where you are coming from they need a pet passport or International health certificate.

Very.

Hello darctalus,

Can you please give more details here?

Thanks

I would have thought your pets would need to be in quarantine for 6 months but get the information from a government site not this one, people could give you incorrect information.

If you need a Visa make sure the company have arranged this in advance, this is very important as you will not be allowed in to work without it.

It will be difficult finding accommodation with two dogs, some will be ok with one small dog but two medium dogs you may have a problem.

You could offer a large deposit for any damage(say £2000) and say to come round and inspect on a regular basis.

My daughter rented out a house (no dogs allowed ) the renters had a dog who damaged carpets and the patio doors, the deposit did not cover all the damage when the people did a moonlight.

My friend never rents out her properties to animal owners.

Ignore people who say you can't get a place for 1200 a month, I have no idea why people always say that.  You won't get a 3 bedroom but you can get by fine in zone 2.

Go to https://www.gov.uk/take-pet-abroad/overview to learn about what the rules are for bringing a dog into the UK.  Call DEFRA at a number listed on that site to ask about specific requirements for coming from Cyprus.

Also better to deal with private owners directly rather than agents, as you can typically make a deal.  The hard part wont be finding a place for 1200, but finding a place in general that accepts dogs.  London is not very dog friendly to renters.
