Re-location services
More than a move, a fresh start, tailored to you.
Beyond Moving, A Thoughtful Transition
Find your rhythm
Relocating isn’t simply about packing boxes. It’s about finding your rhythm in a new city, settling your children into the right schools, understanding unfamiliar systems, and discovering a home, not just a house, that suits your lifestyle.
Whether you're relocating to Scotland from abroad or moving within the UK, our relocation service is built on insight, empathy, and meticulous attention to detail.
Personal, Seamless, Considered
Every step of the way
No two moves are ever the same, because no two people, families, or lifestyles are the same. That’s why we begin not with logistics, but with a conversation. We want to understand you, your family dynamics, your long-term goals, any worries you may have, and what “home” really looks and feels like to you. This isn’t just about finding a house, it’s about creating a transition that feels natural, supported, and uniquely yours. Whether you’re moving across the country or across the world, we take the time to listen, plan, and anticipate your needs before you even have to ask. From identifying the right neighbourhoods and schools to managing timelines, paperwork, and personal touches, we design a relocation experience that is smooth, thoughtful, and fully tailored, every step of the way.
Trusted Experience
Personal Understanding
At the heart of our relocation service is Nicky McConnachie, whose deep knowledge of the Edinburgh property landscape is matched only by her own lived experience of international relocation. Having personally navigated the emotional and logistical challenges of uprooting her life, changing schools, re-establishing a sense of community, and creating a new home from the ground up, Nicky brings an unparalleled level of care, understanding, and foresight to every client's journey. Nicky’s extensive network (built over years of working within Edinburgh’s property and private client sectors) means we can offer discreet introductions to schools, communities, and professionals that you simply won’t find elsewhere.
