Home Finding Support

Are you looking for a house in the UK for yourself or for your relocating employees? The British housing market is extremely tight and foreigners moving to the UK have slim chances of getting their rental application approved.

Here’s why:

In the United Kingdom, the housing market is a landlords' market. For each listing you will find, there can be multiple applications. The landlord or the agency managing the property are the ones that make the choice.

To rent a property you will need to prove that you have the right to reside in the UK. This makes it very hard for new expats to find a home on their own before their arrival in the UK.

Viewing a property is essential prior to committing to a tenancy agreement.

In major cities like London, Brighton, Bristol, Birmingham, Glasgow or Edinburgh, competition is cut-throat, so you'll often have to settle for a property that's outside your area of interest or outside your budget. None of these are fun compromises to make!

Your options are to stay in a hotel or a short-term rental property. But both options can get very expensive, very fast. If you don’t want to waste time and money, there’s an easier, faster and smarter way: let relocation professionals find the perfect home in the UK for you!

Forget about paying for expensive and impersonal hotels and about wasting weeks in bureaucratic mazes. We’re here to make sure you make as few compromises as possible!

Why not opt for saving money and enjoying comfort at the same time?
