Relocation
There is no doubt that relocating to the Isle of Man is a significant event for you and your family and we aim to make your move as smooth as possible by undertaking the time consuming but necessary tasks that are easier said than done in an unfamiliar location.
We use our experiences of moving to the island and living here over the last 20 years to support you at every step of the way.
Once you’ve moved in our support doesn’t have to stop there. We offer a complete property management service for clients who leave their homes unoccupied for holidays or business purposes or simply prefer to have their homes or property investments taken care of by a professional organisation.
We have developed a network of service providers that range from removal companies to move your possessions to architects to re-design your chosen property so that we can offer you support right the way through the spectrum from moving in to making improvements. We are confident that we will save you valuable time and add efficiencies to your move ensuring that you receive the right service level at the best possible price.
We place the client at the heart of everything we do and therefore we are completely flexible in our service provision.
