“We have found ourselves very welcomed into the community, through dog walking and sea swimming we’ve come to know many locals who have a wealth of knowledge and are only too eager to share and help out... even with the pronunciation of place names! We have also had lots of opportunities to meet up with other ‘newbies’ to swap stories and share information.”

“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.”

“There were a few reasons why we chose Guernsey over other jurisdictions; the lifestyle and cultural values we read about prior to moving here were a definite draw; the more temperate climate was also an advantage; the tax situation here meant our financial plans for retirement became more attractive and that was a very significant advantage; functioning Public Services was also a bonus – Guernsey isn’t perfect, but generally things work pretty well, and that makes life easier and less stressful.”

"My wife and I had a number of options available to us when we were looking to settle in a new home country. Having made 9 international moves in the past 25 years we had a pretty good sense of what was important to us when looking for a “forever home”. Most important to us was the feeling of open spaces while still being close to a town centre and good restaurants. Guernsey certainly allows for all of these and much more.

The many beautiful beaches and hiking trails are a great way to explore the island. For our family, membership to the golf course has been a very good way to meet people and form a community.

Guernsey also checked all the boxes in that it is close to our grown-up children in the UK, encourages an active outdoor lifestyle and has an open and friendly community who have warmly welcomed us."

“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.”
