A Fresh Start, Tailored to You

Relocating can be overwhelming — but it doesn’t have to be. With our insight, discretion, and care, we turn the unknown into clarity. The stressful into smooth. And the unfamiliar into home.

A Thoughtful Transition

We’re With You Every Step of the Way

At 29Twelve, no two relocations are ever the same — because no two families, lives, or priorities are either. We begin with a conversation: What matters to you? What are your goals, fears, timelines? What does “home” actually feel like?

From there, we craft a detailed, considered relocation plan — covering everything from the right school catchment to the feel of your new neighbourhood. We anticipate the emotional, practical, and cultural nuances that others overlook — so your transition doesn’t just work. It feels right.
