Bank accounts in preparation for migrating abroad

StinkyMonkey

I am considering leaving the UK. I have several bank accounts, credit cards, ISAs (cash & shares), investment accounts. All in all, fair (not massive) amount of money is lying around.


I expect that all this money will somehow have to be transferred to the destination country. In preparation for the move, what advice would anyone give on



(a) having easy access to (some of) the money
(b) being able to relatively smoothly transfer liquid assets to the other country?


I hope anyone with previous similar experience could explain what worked well for them and what did not.


Thanks for any advice.
