Home search and settling-in assistance

Home search services for relocating employees

Pickfords Relocation delivers home search services as part of our comprehensive, end-to-end relocation support. We understand that securing the right home is a critical part of any successful move, especially for employees relocating to a new city or country. Our experienced Relocation Consultants work closely with a trusted network of local property specialists to manage the entire home finding process from start to finish. 

Our team ensures every aspect of the property search is tailored to the individual's needs, preferences and budget. From the initial briefing through to viewings and lease negotiation, we provide a structured and responsive service designed to support your employees. By combining local expertise and consistent coordination, Pickfords Relocation ensures your employees find suitable, well-matched accommodation. 

Beyond securing accommodation, we also provide settling-in assistance to help employees and families adjust smoothly to their new environment.

Settling into the new location 

Once the move is complete, our settling-in support helps employees adapt to their new environment. We assist with essential day-to-day tasks, enabling a faster and more confident start in the host country. This includes helping the employee and their family understand local amenities, transport options and how to navigate everyday services such as supermarkets, pharmacies and healthcare providers. 

Local registrations and basic utility set-up

We support employees in completing necessary local registrations, including residency documentation and municipal processes where applicable. Our consultants also assist in setting up basic utilities such as water, electricity, gas and the internet, ensuring the new property is ready to live in from day one. 

Orientation and ongoing support 

We also give practical advice to help your employee integrate into their new community. From guidance on local customs to suggestions for social groups and leisure activities, our service aims to build familiarity and confidence at destination. Our consultants remain available to answer questions and provide continued support beyond the initial arrival period.
