Here’s expert advice on making
a successful move to the UK.

When you’re living abroad, or another part of the UK, relocating can be an exciting but time-consuming challenge.

Moving to the UK from abroad can be a daunting process. You may be able to browse properties online, you may even be able to get a sense of what an area is like to live in, but the internet simply can’t provide you with all the information you need to find the best home to meet your needs. This is where our property relocation service and dedicated property buying agents can help you.

At Stacks, our property relocation services have helped people move to, or relocate back to, the UK for over 40 years now. And every time, our clients have told us how they have benefitted from, and appreciated, our local knowledge, expertise, and professionalism. Again and again, we’ve saved people time, money, and a lot of stress.

Move to the UK with The Stacks Property Relocation Service

How can Stacks Property Finders help with my move to the UK?

At Stacks we can help you in any aspect of your move to the UK from abroad.

Our first action is to discuss your thoughts and plans in detail. Ideally, that will take place in the UK when you’re visiting. However, it is also possible to liaise via video call or the phone. Technology is on our side here. We will want to find out about your home life, your hobbies, your likes, your dislikes, plus practical requirements like schools and access to work etc. Your answers to our questions will form part of our brief and help us get a good understanding of what you need… and why.

Our next task is then to start house hunting on your behalf. We deal with local estate agents every day, so we know how to find potential properties, and we also know how to find out about properties that aren’t on the market yet too. Once we have a short list, we’ll carry out our own initial viewings to save you a trip to the UK. We can then talk you through our findings and see if anything jumps out at you that you may want to visit yourself.

When we find something that appears to tick all the boxes for you, we’ll carry out further research into the background of the vendor and property. Nobody likes surprises and our aim is always to put ourselves in the best position to negotiate on your behalf. We will also discuss making arrangements for you to view it with us during a visit to the UK or virtually if you prefer.

Next comes the fun part. Negotiation. Based on what we’ve learned through our research, we’ll have the awkward conversations, ask the awkward questions, and get the best purchase price and terms we can. Our team of property finders are extremely experienced when it comes to negotiation. We work for you as the buyer, so getting you the best price is in our interest. We also know the way the market works within the UK which gives us a further advantage.

Once your offer is accepted, we will then continue to deal with every aspect of your purchase, from working with the surveyor, to liaising with planners, conferring with your solicitor, and dealing with any problems. This is where having feet on the ground really makes a difference. When you’re moving to the UK, communicating with the involved parties can be difficult – especially if there is a time differences to your local area. We’ll take care of the communication for you and keep you informed every step of the way, whilst still keeping everything as stress-free as possible.

Once your property is secured and contracts have exchanged, we will then continue to assist your move to the UK from abroad by liaising with local tradesmen, suppliers, removers, etc. and basically be on hand to advise on any aspect of your new property. Until finally we can…

We love nothing more than handing over a set of keys and welcoming you to the UK.
