“From our previous visit we were aware of some of Guernsey's quirks; the extremely narrow roads, the unreliability of inter-island transport at certain times of the year, the higher cost of living etc. What we weren't expecting were the many hidden delights one finds on such a small island. Substantial retail shops tucked away in obscure country lanes, interesting and unusual local businesses, restaurants in unexpected and out-of-the-way places. We keep discovering such things.”

“The experience of moving across to Guernsey has been very straightforward and we are so pleased we made the move.   We have found the relaxed island lifestyle we desired in our retirement on the island of Guernsey, and we will not tire of watching the stunning sunsets on the west coast sipping a chilled white wine!”

“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.”

"I moved to Guernsey in 2021 to join family who were already here and have become part of a much bigger community since I arrived. The career opportunities are varied and interesting and the ability to get involved in just about any activity you can think of, unsurpassed!

Seeing the sea every day brings me joy and my dogs love running in the sand. My young nieces are growing up in a warm, friendly, and safe community with stunning scenery.

The team at Locate Guernsey are friendly, approachable, and full of useful advice for making the move, they helped me get started finding a home, making business contacts and understanding the practical aspects of the move."

“Whilst the principal motive for moving was to be closer to my father, we have found that we are really enjoying island life – even more than we expected to.  It is a very welcoming and friendly place to live and we aren’t sure why we didn’t think about doing it earlier.”
