Arrange a Survey
We believe in complete transparency, which is why we make sure you know exactly what your moving costs will be, no hidden fees or unexpected charges!
Before the big day, our surveyor will carry out a detailed assessment of your home to figure out how much you’ll be moving.
Depending on your preference, we can do this in person at your home or through a remote video survey.
During this process, we’ll note every item you plan to take and address any special requests or questions you may have.
Receive our Quote
Once your home survey has been conducted, within 48 hours we will send you a complimentary, no-obligation written quote.
It will clearly outline the services included, based on everything discussed with the surveyor, along with the total cost.
We feel it is important that you know exactly what your moving costs will be upfront with no nasty surprises.
If you are happy to go ahead with your move based on the quote received just let out team know and we will start preparing for your moving day.
Packing
We have years of experience in the removals industry, and there’s nothing we haven’t moved. You can trust that your belongings will be well cared for and will be securely protected throughout the journey.
If you opt for our full packing service, we’ll handle it all, from wrapping and packing to creating a detailed inventory list before loading everything onto the vehicle.
When your belongings have been loaded and secured, a copy of the inventory will be given to you by the removals crew.
Storage
White & Company offers flexible storage solutions to suit all your needs. Whether you’re undergoing renovation work at your new home or temporarily living in rental accommodation, we’ve got you covered.
Our range of storage units come in various sizes, all at competitive prices. Your belongings will be safely stored in dry, and safe containers that are personally dedicated to you.

Why Choose Fife?
Fife, known historically as the “Kingdom of Fife,” is one of Scotland’s most distinctive regions. Nestled between the Firth of Tay and the Firth of Forth, and bordered by Perth & Kinross and Clackmannanshire, it combines rich heritage with stunning natural landscapes.
The region consistently ranks highly for quality of life, with its mix of beautiful coastlines, vibrant towns, and peaceful villages.
Major centres include Kirkcaldy, Dunfermline, and Glenrothes, but many newcomers are equally drawn to its charming smaller communities.
Families benefit from excellent schools, good healthcare provision, and strong commuter links by road, rail, and air.
The area also boasts a lively cultural and arts scene, world-famous local produce (particularly seafood), and outstanding opportunities for outdoor activities, from cycling and coastal walks to wildlife watching.
If you’re seeking a balance of affordability, lifestyle, and natural beauty in abundance, Fife is a hard location to beat.
Education in Fife
For families moving with children, education is often a top priority.
Fife Council is responsible for delivering education across the region, and schools here follow the Scottish curriculum.
There are around 160 primary schools and 25 secondary schools serving ages 12–18, alongside nine special schools and several independent options. Two private schools and a number of independent special schools also cater for families seeking alternative provision.
At higher education level, Fife is within reach of some of Scotland’s most prestigious universities, including the University of St Andrews, one of the oldest in the world.
As is common across Scotland, school placements are typically determined by catchment area, so most children attend their nearest local school.
Full details of catchment maps and admissions can be found via the Fife Council website.
Things to do in Fife
Relocating here means you’ll never be short of ways to fill your weekends.
Fife is bursting with natural beauty, historic landmarks, and family-friendly attractions. Its excellent transport links also make getting around effortless.
Highlights include:
Burntisland Beach – An award-winning sandy beach overlooking the Firth of Forth, with rock pools, family amusements, and an annual summer fairground.
Woodland & Forest Trails – Explore Devilla, Blairadam, and Tentsmuir forests, each with well-marked trails ranging from gentle strolls to longer hikes.
Cambo Gardens – A stunning historic walled garden with year-round planting, woodland walks, and a nature play area for children.
Fife Coastal Path – A 117-mile long-distance route offering some of Scotland’s best coastal scenery.
History lovers will also be in their element with attractions such as Falkland Palace, St Andrews Cathedral, Dunfermline Abbey, and Aberdour Castle.

Living in Fife: Property Market
As a largely rural peninsula bordered by sea and rivers, many homes in Fife benefit from spectacular views.
The property market here attracts a mix of buyers, particularly families and retirees seeking space and value for money.
According to GetAgent, the average property price in Fife is now around £218,000 (2025), still making it one of the more affordable parts of Scotland.
House prices have seen steady growth over the past year, reflecting continued demand from both local buyers and those relocating from further afield.
Some of the most desirable areas include:
Elie & Earlsferry – Coastal villages with sandy beaches, ranked among the best places to live in Scotland.
Anstruther – A charming fishing town famed for its award-winning fish and chips and sea-view homes.
St Andrews – A historic town packed with heritage buildings and home to the prestigious university, giving it a lively atmosphere.
Dunfermline – A popular choice for commuters into Edinburgh, with excellent amenities and a blend of city buzz and small-town charm.
With so much choice across its towns and villages, Fife offers something for every type of buyer.
