Moving house can be a stressful and emotional process, especially if you have lived in your home for many years and now need to downsize into a smaller home. Often family live far away and therefore support is limited.
For families emigrating, the process involves so much more administration than a move within the city or country. Extra help may be required to tie up loose ends as the time draws near to leave.
We come alongside you to help manage the practical aspects of the process and to assist with all the decision-making that goes with it.
