Home Search

The home search is an important aspect of the assignment process. Getting it right can be the difference between the success and failure of an assignment.

What does it cover?

At the start of each home search we begin by gathering information from the assignee via one of our relocation service providers.

We can customise our service for family and circumstance. This enables us to offer a first class service to our clients whilst ensuring your policy requirements are fulfilled.

Our services include:

Detailed analysis of housing requirements
Co-ordination of temporary living accommodation
Lease or buy negotiations
Preparing the tenancy agreement
Transfer of utilities into assignee's name (in some countries the relocation companies can only give advice and assistance on setting up the utility accounts and telephone/internet applications)
Location search incorporating expatriate groups, local amenities, etc.
Organising furniture rental, if required
Settling in assistance, i.e. guidance on registering with local doctors/dentist, driving licence advice, etc.

School Search

For those assignees with children, the school search will be a vital aspect of the assignment process and will be high on their priority list.

What does it cover?

Our expert suppliers provide guidance and assistance for evaluating the educational option in the assignee’s chosen area.

Assignees will have access to advice on the different types of schools (state, independent, international), curriculum and examinations systems. They will be provided with a prospectus for each establishment to assist them with their decision. Our aim is to ensure the assignee has enough information and guidance to make the right choice, whilst again ensuring your policy requirements are fulfilled.

Our services include:

Private/State/International school search
Statistics on academic performance compiled by local education authorities
Advice on curriculum and examination systems
Organisation of school visits
Advice and assistance with registration and entry requirements

How are your needs met?

All aspects of the time-consuming home and school search are taken out of your hands. Your assignee will be confident they are receiving expert advice and assistance. This will make the transition easier for both the employee and their family.
