How we Help with Your Relocation

Moving to a new city should be an exciting process, but it can also be very time consuming, challenging and filled with hurdles – especially if you are moving from another country. We will help you to overcome these problems. Ship Shape Management offers this service to a limited number of clients who require a personal approach to their relocation homesearch.

An integral element of searching for a suitable property is the defining of an appropriate search area. Ship Shape Management takes into account commuting, schooling, lifestyle and leisure preferences (as well as, of course, likely budgets) to guide the choice.

Our Step-by-Step guide

1. The completion of a comprehensive online questionnaire and short informal telephone interview will help us find out precisely what your needs are and answer any concerns that you may have. We build up a clear and detailed profile of the kind of area and type of accommodation that you require.
2. We will provide you with brief introductory guides into recommended areas that we have identified from your profile. We will also direct you to places where you can find further information and complete your own research. We appreciate that you need to feel 100% confident that you will be happy in your new surroundings.
3. We will review our own property database, those of our partner managing agents and new agents, to ensure that we can source the most suitable properties for you.
4. We will provide you with detailed information and photography on the suitable properties identified within your budget. You narrow down your choices and then we will visit the short list.
5. We use our market knowledge to negotiate terms on your behalf and get you the best deal. Hopefully you will be able to make a decision based on price from 2 or 3 ‘ideal’ properties. Through our personalised service, you can be sure that you are fully informed of all arrangements throughout the whole process and there will be no sudden surprises or additional costs.
