Relocation. It’s an exciting time.

It’s also a stressful time that can take a toll on emotions and finances.

When you’re taking a leap of faith on a new city — a new life — the last thing you want to face is the uncertainty of living out of a suitcase for months or the mounting costs of hotels or serviced accommodation.

Especially if you’re relocating with a family. Your mind is probably on your new job but your spouse wants to know about their own job prospects, what the schools are like, how they’ll meet new friends…

The children may well be excited at the thought of hotel living but you know the novelty will soon wear off and they’ll be desperate for a room of their own.

And if you’re handling a relocation package for your company, you’ll be worrying about the same things. Because your new employee isn’t just an employee — they’re also a husband or a wife, a mother or a father.

You know that it’s only when the whole family is happy and settled that your new team member will be able to focus on their new assignment.

How Limehouse can help.

We know Aberdeen, we know the properties and we know people.

Right from the beginning we’ll work closely with you or your assignees to build a package that suits your specific needs.

We’re not fans of working with generic forms or tick box questionnaires. We believe there’s still value in the personal touch, especially when it’s something as important as helping people build a new life for themselves. We listen closely — to the things that you don’t say as much as the things you do — so that we can get to the heart of what the whole family is looking to gain from their relocation to Aberdeen.

Whether it’s about the perfect house, the right schools or something else entirely, we’re here to provide personal support at every stage of the moving journey.

The relocation journey.

Our conversations will cover everything from the practical, like arrival dates and number of bedrooms you need, to the emotional so we can help you find exactly what you’re looking for.

We’ll guide the family around their property options personally, provide accompanied viewings and we can also organise orientation tours to help them get a feel for the area they’re going to be moving to.

We talk about any additional work they’ll need — whether that’s adding any extra items of furniture or asking for a bit of paintwork to be refreshed — and we’ll take care of offers and negotiations too. When the arrival date comes around, we’ll collect the keys and check that everything is ready to welcome them to their new home.

When they arrive, the only thing they need to worry about is unpacking their suitcase!

Relocation to other areas.

We’re an Aberdeen-based company and we know the North East like the back of our hands but if you’re relocating elsewhere in Scotland, please do get in touch. We’re happy to conduct a remote property search and connect with local agents to help you find the best your new destination has to offer.

While the people we work with vary in their needs, our mission is always the same: a settling in period that is as smooth and as short as possible.

It’s not just about a new house, it’s about a new home.

It’s not just about a new job, it’s about building a whole new life. We’ll help you get started.
