“The process of relocating to Guernsey was incredibly easy. Locate Guernsey offered all the help we needed which made our move very straight forward. The many questions via email which we raised were answered immediately and in a pleasant and friendly manner, making communication with Local Guernsey comfortable and relaxed. Most importantly though, it wasn’t just the help that we received up to and during our relocation, but their assistance with any matter we raised after our relocation, even outside of the remit of relocating, was and is provided by them.”
“There is always paperwork to do in life, but the relocation process has been relatively seamless and staff within the States of Guernsey departments helped us as well as the team at Locate Guernsey who provided support and helpful guidance. Having initially rented on the island we are now looking forward to finding our new home.”
“We both feel life here has far exceeded our expectations. Locate Guernsey have made it very easy for us to integrate by holding various social events for newcomers, and at which we have made very dear and lifelong friends. We have been made very welcome by our neighbours, and in general find Guernsey to be filled with folk who are helpful, friendly and of generous spirit. We can honestly say that we have not experienced a second of doubt that we made absolutely the right decision to move to relocate here.”
