Using Anglo Domus as your Relocation Agent

Anglo Domus will advise and assist with every aspect of the relocation for you and your company cost-effectively, avoiding stress and saving precious time. We guide our clients from the first step all the way through to the final move-in, also providing initial aftercare. Our education service can accompany the home search at every stage in order to combine the best location with the most suitable choice of schools.

Anglo Domus client managers are familiar with the majority of international cultures and all of our team have lived and worked overseas themselves. Every executive, family and company we help relocate is different. We carefully consider their varied situations and circumstances, prepare for any eventuality and provide for every requirement. With all the individual and family relocation needs taken care of, the executive can continue to be a productive member of their company all the way through the move, confident that their family will feel happy and at home as quickly as possible.

Anglo Domus offers two core residential property search services:

Relocating and settling into a new job and place to live should be an enjoyable and satisfying experience. Unfortunately, moving home is generally regarded as one of the most stressful experiences in life.

If left to make their own arrangements, executives and their families may find themselves having to cope with any number of problems, possibly resulting in an unhappy move.

A long distance move presents a host of problems in addition to finding the right home:

• The right school can be as important as finding the right home - how do you locate and choose the right schools specific to the family's needs?
• Who are the best recommended doctors, dentists and other professionals nearby?
• Where are the better suppliers and services in the new area?
• What are the local social/sporting organisations and leisure/cultural centres?

These questions and others may sometimes seem secondary concerns in the early stages of a relocation. However, they add considerably to the overall worry and unhappiness of moving if overlooked, put off until later, or even worse when they remain unsolved.

Relocating from abroad introduces yet further problems:

• How will executives and their families cross the language barrier and make all the necessary arrangements?
• Who will explain the peculiarities of UK property law for rental or purchase contracts?
• How do the National Health Service, National Insurance and family doctor registration work?
• What is the best choice of banking and financial services for expatriates?
• How are utilities and services connected and billing transferred?
• What are the arrangements for the 'check in' inventory of contents?
• How much is the Local Council Tax and what are the other housing costs?
• When will the keys be available and will anyone be there to explain how everything works at the move in?

The list can seem endless!

Anglo Domus advises and assists with all these considerations and more. We provide solutions to all of our clients' relocation requirements, removing stress and making the move a more interesting and enjoyable experience. As experts providing relocation services that protect the best interests of companies and relocatees, we pride ourselves on supplying a high quality personal service that we know is second to none.

Relocation, especially international relocation, throws a number of problems in the direction of human resources and personnel managers.

Moving company executives, particularly directors or senior management, can often be a complex and time consuming process. The risks and potential corporate costs involved, especially the hidden costs of an unsuccessful move, can be very great indeed.

• How can the costs be controlled ensuring the best results for both company and relocatee?
• Who will handle the sometimes conflicting criteria of company, executive and family, liaise with everyone and help juggle the sometimes delicate balance required?
• Where do you find the resources to solve the particularly demanding problems of moving from overseas?
• Can the company afford the time and personnel to track down an individual property that best meets the executive or family requirements and expectations, especially when property agents offer such a variable service?
• What is the best way to deal with family anxieties and frustrations and remove stress from the move?
• How will the relocation fit in with other departmental and company activities?
• A typical 30 minute journey time to work means a possible search area involving 100 property agents and a choice of 30-40 schools - WHERE DO YOU START?

Anglo Domus are experts in domestic and international relocation, providing solutions for these and many other relocation issues. We help companies to successfully solve their relocation requirements producing obvious dividends.

We keep companies in touch with every step of their executive's relocation and leave HR and personnel managers free to concentrate on their many other responsibilities.

Successful relocation of executives produces concrete gains for the company. Unnecessary expenses are reduced and more importantly the potential hidden costs of an unsuccessful move are avoided. This success relies on a careful balance between the considerations of the company and the needs of the relocatee. Most important of all, relocating executives are able to concentrate on their new position with a happy family move ensured.

Anglo Domus is a dedicated team of specialist relocation consultants, committed to a highly professional flexible approach combined with a friendly personal service. This makes our range of services an ideal complement to company relocation policies, helping companies and relocatees capitalise on their potential while controlling corporate relocation costs.
