Do you have an impending move to or from the UK? Our expertise extends globally: we’ve relocated clients to and from the UK, across the globe.
Relocation, especially in mid and later life, is a unique challenge that requires comprehensive planning and careful coordination from someone with proven experience.
There are different challenges with such a move. The physical upheaval is significant, often with difficult choices on which possessions to leave behind.
It’s an important time for you: a once-in-a-lifetime transition, where you want to be making positive memories, spending time with those who won’t be so instantly accessible.
One Stop Organisers are well placed to be your partner throughout the process.
Our clients tend to move to another country under their own steam, rather than their current job taking them abroad. Therefore many are new to organising an overseas move on their own with no corporate relocation agent to rely on.
That’s where we step in, giving you our full support, so you can make the most of your last days in your old home and the first days in your new one.
Moving away from the UK?
We have extensive experience in the following areas:
- Ending your tenancy if you are renting, representing you at check-out, closing off all your utilities, and liaising fully with the landlord/agent.
- Arranging to receive any mail you wish to still hold in the UK if your move is temporary and, if required, opening it for you and keeping you up to date with what’s happening.
- Introducing you to a currency broker to cut down the cost of servicing UK commitments from a foreign bank account.
- Sourcing and despatching items that you wish to continue buying regularly from the UK.
- Keeping papers for you or accessing them on your behalf if they are in storage.
If you are retaining your UK property, we can visit on an agreed regular basis to check it over in order to comply with your insurance regulations.
Please see our Empty Property Checks service.
Moving to the UK?
If this is your first time in the UK you may need a helping hand that goes beyond simple relocation. We help with:
- Finding somewhere for you to live through our network of agents and property finders.
- Receiving and organising shipment of your furniture and effects and organising them in your new home.
- Setting up energy suppliers and broadband.
- Buying any new or extra furniture or equipment that you need.
- Setting you up with a mobile sim card.
If this is your first experience of living in the UK, we can help orientate you with how services work and how to get around, or we can become part of your day-to-day plan, helping you live life well every day.

After my dear wife was diagnosed with dementia and my life was turned upside-down, Ashley was there to rescue me. She arranged to pack up my office and many of our belongings while we relocated to the USA. She is pragmatic and makes things happen, just the right touch needed when difficult but essential decisions need to be made.
