Citrus Relocation not only met our expectations but exceeded them. They turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into a journey where we felt supported and cared for every step of the way.

What truly stood out for us was that they were not only professional but also very warm. From the moment we reached out to them, we felt in safe hands. It was clear that they genuinely cared about making this transition as smooth and stress-free as possible for our family. Their empathy made us feel valued.

We remember sending enquiry messages to a number of relocation companies on the evening of the 2nd January 2023 expecting to get a response some days after people return from their Christmas break. We were extremely shocked to receive an answer from Citrus just five minutes after the initial message. The other companies took about a week to respond. The very next morning an advisor had already contacted us to discuss how Citrus could help with our move.

The initial consultation was thorough and reassuring. They took the time to understand our specific needs and provided us with a clear and transparent quote.

Throughout the process, they maintained excellent communication. They would check on us, making sure we were comfortable with the pace and decisions being made.

If you’re looking for a relocation company that combines professionalism with a personal touch, we wholeheartedly recommend Citrus Relocation.

Famille Biramah Lawyer moving to the UK 

 

 

 

 

We knew that moving to a new country was going to be a challenge — an understatement to say the least — and that we would need help to manage some of the madness. From our first meeting with Noreen and Maxine, we felt confident that we were in good hands as they helped us map out a plan and arranged for the many practicalities we needed to get in place to find a home.

We had to adjust some of our initial requirements through the course of this journey — the UK properties market presented several challenges — but Noreen and Maxine were always there to help work through the difficulties. It made such a difference knowing we could rely on their expertise and support. We are very happy with our new home and so grateful for Citrus Relocation’s help in getting us here. They made a complicated and stressful process so much easier!

A big thank you to Citrus who managed my move from Geneva, Switzerland to London, UK.

I was feeling well taken care of from the very first contact we had.

The support and service provided by Jean and Maxine was / is excellent. They were at my side throughout the whole process, all my questions (and I had quite a few!) were always promptly answered providing all the information I was asking for: finding the right moving company for my needs, helping to sort out some trouble with the registration at GP practice, reviewing the rental agreement, and many more. I could count on their experience, guidance and patience. The co-operation was / is very personal, the first letter I received in my new home was a welcome card from the Citrus team!

Thank you, Noreen and all the team, for smoothing the waters on our move to the UK.  This is our third international move and Citrus did not disappoint. Their team is knowledgeable, professional, kind and unflappable. Noreen is immeasurably attentive, thorough and always on point with her research and advice. A perfect combination when the rest of your life is in flux!  We had the best ‘Escape to the Country’ orientation day with Jessica, our property expert, and found a beautiful rental home before the official search day was scheduled. Maxine managed a brilliantly informative school search – always the most daunting aspect of a relocation for parents – and organised meetings for us at suitable schools in the area which has led to successful placements for both of our teenagers. There were a myriad of other services that Citrus provided without prompting – solving issues before we had even thought of them – and the level of detail provided in their service has meant that we can walk into our new life in the UK without all the headaches and worries that a relocation entails. We just have one final request, Citrus team…. please come and visit so we can buy you a beer!

Greg and Gill De Bressac – Media Executive

 

 

I’ve recently moved to the UK from an unstable country and it has been an extremely challenging relocation because of the intersection of health issues, banking difficulties, and a very competitive housing market. Sue, Jean, and Kasia from Citrus Relocation were able to help me find a really wonderful place though, and also assist with getting a bank account. Citrus Relocation’s services have been key to enable my relocation and I’m very happy with the outcome.

Citrus helped me find a good property before my move. They spent time to educate me on the pros and cons of types of properties in different areas. They were very responsive on with the property search to deal with the letting agent and secure the property I wanted. Pleasure to deal with

“I can confidently confirm that Citrus Relocation Services’ reputation for excellent service is well-deserved.  I recently relocated from southern Africa to England.  Citrus Relocation was consistent and reliable in finding me accommodation that matched my requirements, for finding a vehicle and for organising my bespoke selection of utilities and media.

Their broad, modular service catalogue allows selection and payment only for those services needed.  If you want to take the stress out of relocating, I strongly recommend Citrus Relocation Services.”

Hiring Citrus to help with our move was a fantastic decision. My husband and I moved from New York to London earlier this year with our two cats. From start to finish, Citrus was incredibly responsive in helping understand our needs and keeping us briefed on next steps.

Citrus set up a convenient virtual viewing day for us to see a number of flats in London from our home in New York, and helped us find a flat that fit our needs perfectly, and of course, accepted pets! We were taken seriously as potential tenants because we had Citrus help apply on our behalf, and could not be more grateful for all of their help and expertise. As part of the settling in services, they helped us with things large and small, including understanding how to register with our doctor, find a local vet, sign up for council tax, set up utilities and handle our trash! Moving to a new country can be so daunting, and I don’t know how we could have done it without the help Citrus provided. We highly recommend their services!

Citrus Relocation took the stress out of international moving. I had met with two other relocation agencies prior to Citrus and from the moment I met Jean I knew that this was the provider I would be choosing! She took the time to listen and understand what was important to me. Even with delays at my end, the whole team was patient and ensured I was well taken care of from start to finish. Citrus provides an individualized touch and makes you feel like you are not just another customer. Jean went above and beyond, bending her schedule at times to accommodate me. When all was said and done, she even took the extra time to call and make sure I was comfortable in my new flat and even sent a welcome to your new home card! This was truly a stress-free experience, and I couldn’t be happier! Not to mention, the process was fast! I was moved in within three weeks of starting the process.

Thank you so much Jean, Kasia, and Sue as well as the rest of the Citrus Team!

We moved from HK to the UK in April this year. Citrus has been a great help to make it much easier during the worst covid outbreak in HK earlier this year and our plan to change a few times. We have been talking to a few relocations service companies (all those well-known companies you name it) but the time we talked to Jean from Citrus, we know they are the one! Jean is very patient, responsive, compassionate and sweet. I was always impressive with how efficient she is and it was a very pleasant experience working with Jean throughout the process. Her attention to details help with the rental management process seamless and provide us peace of mind. I’d also like to thank Sue, Brian and Noreen – everyone from Citrus has been so helpful and warms our heart when moving to a foreign country during Covid.

Citrus is great – it was (and still is) a lot of work uprooting my life and moving country on my own, I can’t imagine how much worse it would have been trying to figure out / do everything myself.

Going into detail would probably fill an entire page, but in short what I appreciate about Citrus is that they take a personal approach – they are attentive, professional and compassionate throughout the process and have checked in on me several times since the move as well. You feel like you are being supported by a friend rather than hurried along by a company.

Citrus relocation pride themselves on personal interaction, attentiveness, and critical follow-up. A SPECIAL admiration for Jean who went above and beyond in services given my fluid schedule with travel. Aside from the personal attention, the price point for services are unmatched. I would highly recommend their services to anyone relocating abroad to London.

I had a lovely experience with Noreen and the team at Citrus Relocation. From the first engagement up until the end, Citrus assisted my transition from the Isle of Man to the UK, from finding me the perfect home to researching and aiding me with admin related aspects which are always needed when we relocate. Relocating can be extremely daunting especially when you are not familiar with your surroundings but Noreen and the team at Citrus Relocation made me feel at ease and helped me get set up in no time. If it wasn’t for them, my transition would have been even more stressful and I would probably still be outstanding with a number of matters. A special thank you to Noreen, Kasia and the whole Citrus team who helped me with my move. We never forget the kindness of others.

Raquel Carrasco Legal and Compliance Banking

 

Citrus was our relocation company during our move from Singapore to UK. Due to the pandemic our move was spread over 7 months. From our initial look see which took place in January 2020,we finally moved in September 2020.
During our look see Brian took us all around Milton Keynes. He was very helpful. He understood our requirements and we were able to make an offer on the house after 2 days of viewing.
Brian also took us around the local retail centers etc to give us a general feel of the place.
Unfortunately we had to postpone our move due to the pandemic, and subsequently had to let go, of the house, we had initially offered for.

When we finally arrived in September, we were shown around by Matthew. He understood exactly what I wanted and we were able to get a house which fit us to the ‘T’ in just half a day of viewing.
They also arranged for a 2 1/2 month of short stay for us as well, while all the formalities of rental etc was completed.
Citrus Is a very efficient and perceptive team.

We have been impressed with the services offered at Citrus Relocation agency and use the agency for ex-patriots from other countries who need support finding temporary and permanent accommodation. This is particularly important as they are not always familiar with Milton Keynes and its surrounding area. The communication throughout has been excellent keeping us informed of progress and Noreen and Sue have been very helpful throughout the whole process. They also support with the moving in process when finding accommodation including broadband, contracts etc. Overall the service has been well received and we would highly recommend them.

I could not have been happier with the assistance that Sue and her team provided my family during our relocation from Sweden. Jean was there every step of the way as we searched for a home that would suit our needs and budget. They provided expert advice, support and a kind ear when things seemed overwhelming. Advice on pandemic rules, locations to consider, the process of renting a home, setting up utilities and finding an appropriate school for my children, they were there every step of the way. Highly recommended and appreciated!

The best place to get all your relocation cared for. The staff is really polite and helpful. They are also very fast in replying and making sure that all your queries are answered. I would definitely recommend using their services.

Shahrukh Javaid :Engineer who relocated from Italy to Newbury with his wife:

 

I contacted Citrus Relocation to assist with our move from Australia to the UK in 2021. Despite the COVID-19 crisis making things additionally difficult, the team at Citrus have done a wonderful job in finding a place for us to live in London and dealing with the real estate agents and any issues that we had.

I initially spoke to Brian, who was lovely and well informed. Their prices were incredibly competitive compared to other services and offered well thought our tailored packages. We went with a one day virtual inspection that was handled by their London agent Manjit, who did a fantastic job under the COVID circumstances to show us several properties and provide us with great advice on each property.

Kasia, Sue, Noreen, Jessica and Brian worked tirelessly to get the tenancy agreement sorted and us moved into the chosen apartment. They were also highly informative over opening bank accounts, the NHS and any other questions we had, responding to emails quickly and promptly.

I cannot recommend the team at Citrus enough for your relocation needs.

Relocating to a new home is always difficult. This difficulty becomes bigger when the move involves a change of country. But, moving to a different country in a context of a pandemic and the Brexit is simply overwhelming. In such a context, my family was lucky to find Citrus Relocation. They provided us with support in all steps of our relocation, from finding a house to connecting the services. But all relocation companies do that. What make of them something different is that they provided me support almost in real time, sometimes helping me to fix issues during weekends and nights.

But that’s not all: they also connected me with other companies that provided complementary services to those offered by Citrus. And, again, their services were excellent. This excellent service Citrus and their associates gave us went beyond our contractual agreement, both in terms of topics and time frame. They helped us to sort issues that we didn’t include in our agreement, and they even did it once we were settled in—without charging us new fees. I will try to avoid relocations in the next 100 years, but believe me that if we finally change our plans and relocate again, my first call will be to Citrus.

I strongly recommend Citrus Relocation Services Limited for any client looking for such services. Personally, I sought help from Citrus for high secondary schools admission in Manchester. I was impressed with a quick and efficient response from council admission team, which I received after 24 hours from Citrus team’s intervention. Many thanks for Ms Noreen who has an efficient, gracious and firm communication skills. She treat the customer’s issues as if it were her own.

No words could express my appreciation. Thank you

Exceptional service from day one. My wife and I began preparations for a move from Seattle to London a few months in advance and we knew we’d need top professional help during these unprecedented times. After reviewing a few relocation options, Citrus Relocation stood out as a friendly, knowledgeable, and reputable option – we quickly learned that we made the right choice. Brian and Jessica were our first contacts in the process and thoroughly gathered all necessary information for the first stage of our move. They were also accessible at late hours, when we had a significant time difference, making it easy to connect.
Many questions were ironed out early, putting us at ease as we approached our move date. We began talking to Alison, who was our London Consultant helping us narrow down our home search. Alison was so warm, friendly and super attentive to our needs. During our property tours, she had built an extensive list of properties that appealed to all of our requests and we had the toughest time deciding. We appreciated Alison’s vast knowledge of the neighborhoods and sound advice when it came to renting in London. With Alison’s help, we were able to secure our top choice and move in within 1 week!
To wrap it all up, Brian, Jessica and Kasia all stepped up to help my wife and I get settled into our new home. I haven’t even mentioned- the Citrus team also connected us to a trusted service to help transfer our dog to London! Not an easy or stress-free task during a pandemic. I can’t recommend Citrus Relocation enough- they treat you like family and have thought of every little detail to help you move to London. Look no further- you are in great hands!

Right from day 1 we felt that we were in the hands of professionals. The Company needed an apartment for visiting professionals and in the COVID-19 pandemic had negatively affected the rental market in the area. We tried for 3-months unsuccessfully to find and rent a suitable property. Within 2 weeks Citrus had solved the problem and guided us through what previously had seemed unsurmountable market conditions.

Polite, professional, diligent and effective are the 4 words we’d use to describe your great service. Thank you for solving our ‘unsolvable’ problem.

Ashley JONES Managing Director/General Manager – Packaging Provider Tamworth

 

 

Sue, Jessica and the team at Citrus Relocation worked with me to move from the US to the UK and were both extremely knowledgeable and helpful. My move was delayed due to some complications bringing my dog over and they were able to adjust our schedule and assist me in finding a place to live for the next year.

With the COVID 19 epidemic I was unable to travel to the UK to visit possible locations and the Citrus team worked with me by reviewing the properties that I was interested in the time to get an idea of what I was looking for. When my quarantine time was over they scheduled visits and then handled the negotiation and execution of the tenancy agreement once I had selected my new home.

I would highly recommend Citrus Relocation Services if you are needing professional and knowledgeable assistance in moving to a new home.

“My wife and I moved our three children + puppy to the UK in the midst of the 2020 global pandemic, i.e. the summer.  I don’t think we could have chosen a worse time to move the family from the US.

Despite the stressful situation, Sue and her team went above and beyond with their support and guidance.  They were extremely knowledgeable and involved with all aspects of the move, and most importantly, the team was incredibly responsive!! I would highly recommend anyone to hire Citrus Relocation.”

Brian DeFee | Director of Corporate Development, EMEA

Citrus relocation has supported us tremendously throughout unprecedented times where moving abroad was not straight forward. Sue and Brian were very responsive, personable and effective from the very first conversation throughout any questions during the whole relocation, provided great insights on several of the UK processes and had a variety of partners they liaised us with that all delivered above and beyond in these difficult times. Most importantly they were very flexible and understanding towards any personal needs or changing circumstances. Overall, I would recommend working with Citrus to anyone who would require relocation support.

The Citrus team and in particular Brian assisted with my lease negotiations. They were a pleasure to work with, knowledgeable and professional.  Given that the negotiations were going on during lock down I appreciated their expertise and diligence in moving the transaction along to a successful conclusion,  and it gave me a great deal of comfort knowing that I had professionals helping me navigate the negotiations.  I highly recommend the Citrus team.

It was truly a pleasure working with you, and I hope to do so again if I’m able to remain in the UK

Senior Corporate Lawyer for Global Hotel Brand – Regina Nelson

 

 

I want to thank Sue and her team for their excellent job they did supporting me and my family in our relocation to London. I had previous experiences with international relocation and I wanted to find the right agency with expertise working not only with corporations but with private clients.

We didn’t have much time to move from California to London and we had Christmas holidays in the middle of the whole process. I appreciated the transparency and responsiveness during the process. We found our flat in a nice area close to my job. It was particularly helpful the assistance during the negotiating process with the landlord which is a completely learning process for someone coming from a different country. The rest of the services that we chose were excellent: Visa process,  bank account, utilities set up, local taxes, etc.  I’m very happy for choosing Citrus. Highly recommended.

Lawyer relocating from the United States to London with his wife and two year old daughter:

 

 

We were looking for a rental property in the London area as part of my relocation for a new assignment with my employing company (a FTSE 100 major Energy company). Though I reached out to a few companies to help with the relocation, I was particularly impressed by Citrus, initially because of their prompt response to my enquiry, but also because of the comprehensive range of support they were able to offer.

Citrus were able to take care of the whole process for me, and this was important because I didn’t have the time to dedicate to property search, particularly with starting a new assignment at the same time. I also found that their fee structure was transparent, so I knew what I would be paying for.

The overall process went very well. Communications from the team at Citrus were excellent throughout, I was kept informed at each step and given early notification of next steps. On the orientation day, we were pleasantly surprised that we found our ideal property on the same day, and put in an offer for rental, which was subsequently accepted.

During the move in, the team from Citrus met us there with the agent, and looked after the details, making that a trouble-free process. Overall, the process has been largely seamless, our objectives were met ahead of schedule, which saved time away from work. So I would have no hesitation in fully recommending Citrus to others looking for similar services.

Great company, amazing and efficient service. They supported me through my relocation process in a very smooth manner; orientation tour, flat hunting, giving valuable advice, dealing with agencies, check in, utility switching and more.. Excellent communication throughout the whole process! I would highly recommend.

Citrus proved themselves to be invaluable during our relocation from the US to the UK. From having someone in the right time zone as the places you need to contact, to doing all the legwork when it comes to collating and contacting schools and letting agents. All the information was provided to us in good time with all the details we needed and in line with the process that had been set out with us.

All appointments for both schools and house viewings were well organized and time efficient. The attention to detail with requests for improvements to the property prior to letting was amazing. The people we dealt with have been super helpful with all our questions and we’ve felt fully supported. We honestly can not imagine how we would have been able to do this so seamlessly without their help. Thank you!

Thanks again for all your help!

Fabulous job from Sue, Cilla and the team!!! Having relocated to several countries in the past, I was unsure at the beginning whether I should invest again in a relocation agency or not. I did and it made a big difference! A couple of examples: Citrus found the flat of my dreams, not listed on Rightmove or similar websites, and secured it for me, while the landlord had other proposals. They also assisted me in opening a bank account in the UK while I had no permanent residence there (making things more complicated). They have a solution to any problem you may encounter during your relocation, being used to working with foreigners. Merci Citrus. Super travail !

Relocation could be very hectic process, yet Citrus Relocation provided us with great service. Everybody from the team was responding quickly to all our questions and queries. They even followed up with some things even after their job was done and provided us with good contacts on other services we were looking to get. Highly recommend 🙂

Citrus Relocation Services helped us greatly during our moving to London from Dubai, UAE. Their professionalism, deep experience in the field but most of all their attention to the needs of the whole family made our moving as smooth as it could be. They assisted us almost with every step of this tedious and time consuming process and at the same time they answered to all of our questions and concern. They helped us find an amazing apartment in a lovely neighbourhood, having a school for our daughter and a metro station just minutes away. Citrus Relocation Services ensured a painless moving experience and we couldn’t be happier to recommend them.

Coming from Brazil to start a new life in the UK posed me a lot of challenges. The relocation process itself could have been another big one. Citrus gave me the confidence and resources to make that process a lot easier.

I am a French expatriate working for a global organisation with over 450 000 employees. I am used to move from one country to the other but this time it was much more complicated.

I contacted Sue just a month before moving to London and asked her to find a house, movers, take care of all administrative tasks,… I thought she would just laugh and let me know it was just impossible within such a short notice.

Within the same week, she organized property visits meeting my expectation.  My move to London was really smooth and I felt really secured as Citrus was taking care of almost everything.

I am really happy to recommend Citrus to any organisation looking for assistance with relocation services.

Thanks a lot Sue (as well as your team) for all your support and lovely attentions.

Ms M. Coumoul, Chief Financial Officer

 

 

 

 

As a global organisation with over 22’000 employees we are generally used to transferring employees between global hubs however due to unforeseen circumstances we needed a little help with our most recent employee relocation transfer. I contacted Sue after reading reviews on the Citrus website, the task set was impossible to be honest, to move an employee from Spain to the UK with his wife and three children, find them a house, school and a nursery that were bilingual and to do it all within 14 days.

Cleary I expected her to laugh at me and say it can’t be done but it was quite the opposite. Within 10 days my employee had a new house, 2 children into a new school and nursery choices for the baby after only a 2 day visit to the UK. This visit was carefully organized by Sue and she left nothing out, I can quite happily recommend Citrus to any organisation considering them for relocation assistance. What she managed to achieve for us in such a short timeframe was quite simply extraordinary and I have no doubt that we will use her again and again in the future.

I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Kind Regards

I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for the professionalism and tenacity you applied in relocating myself and the family to a new home.

From the first brief as to our specific needs you created a concise portfolio not just covering the property requirements but giving real care, consideration and detail to other critical factors such as schooling requirements for the children.

Throughout the relocation process you have given constant progress reports on all key activities and ,quite refreshingly, required precise information from ourselves to ensure the correct delivery against the brief.

From my company’s perspective cost tracking for services employed has been accurate with regular dialogue with our HR Director.

The new location and home are exactly are specified and the family and I are delighted.

 

 

 

I would say the experience of working with Citrus Relocation was a real pleasure. From the day of the orientation through to date when we moved into our new home I have experienced a pleasant time settling into my new home in Newbury because of Citrus. Coming from a different country and doing this all by myself in UK would have been really hectic without the help of Citrus.

I would definitely like to highlight how much I appreciated the personal attention from the staff at Citrus in all aspects of house searching. They were so meticulous in getting the house agreements and setting up my accounts for electricity and gas. I have also had assistance with other settling in services like registering with a doctor and a dentist and buying a car in the UK to name but a few. Basically, Citrus is there to help you in whatever is required when setting up the things in your new place. Thanks a lot to the Citrus Relocation team!

Having to move in UK to begin a new job, I took a look at websites in order to understand how to find a new home. After a while I realised this was quite complex when coming from abroad so I decided to look for a relocation company.  At first I thought these companies were for corporate clients only and not for private clients. I found Citrus by chance and was very lucky I did! They responded really rapidly after I sent a contact email.  Everything was very well organised by them and they were really helpful and lovely. I would recommend anybody moving in UK to ask Citrus for help.

Ms L Buchi, University Lecturer

 

 

 

 

Moving to a new country with so many unknowns, we had natural anxieties and concerns about so many things related to our relocation to London.  However, after our first phone call with Sue in January, we felt completely at ease as Sue explained the entire process and covered practically all topics in a language we could follow and relate to.  She followed every discussion with a written email to confirm our understanding to avoid any miscommunication – that was highly appreciated.

After our move to London, Sue and her team’s planning for our new apartment was flawless – Ellen and Brian were both super patient to show us every flat we wanted to see.  In the end, they found us a perfect apartment in a great neighborhood in the price range we agreed to.  Citrus team took care of all the paperwork and check-in inventory for a perfect move-in on the day we had planned.

In summary, I truly believe that  the Citrus team went above and beyond normal line of their contractual obligation to make our move to London exceptionally pleasant. We will highly recommend their support and service to anyone who is moving to UK first time.

Mr S. Tyagi, Group Chief Scientific Officer, Pharmaceuticals

 

 

 

 

 

 

My husband and I had three months to prepare for our move to London from Chicago, and when we first discussed using a relocation agent, I didn’t think we needed one. We’d been renting for years in the U.S., and I figured the process would be more or less the same. But Citrus turned out to be a necessity.

Without Citrus Relocation, we never could have found such a great selection of rental properties that met our criteria AND were open to dogs. In addition, with the stress and confusion of an international move, it was really comforting to know Citrus Relocation was managing the leasing process, which turned out to be significantly different from what we’d experienced in the U.S.

When we finally arrived at our new house, we were met with a friendly face, flowers and a much-needed bottle of wine. We’re so grateful to Citrus Relocation for guiding us through the entire move, for their attention to detail and especially the dedication to making sure everything was right when we moved in.

The house is great and we’re settling in nicely. Thank you again for all your help!

 

 

 

It gives me great satisfaction to recommend Citrus relocation agency for your relocation needs.

I was relocating from Stockholm, Sweden to Belfast, Northern Ireland. The relocation was under a very tight schedule with only two months between start and finish. The fact that I during this period also sold my house in Sweden added to the importance of a smooth transition, especially considering I have a family with a wife and three small children. Considering this, both the family and I were going into the move, quite stressed.

Luckily the company I work for had previously used Citrus relocations services with great satisfaction and decided to them for my relocation as well. With great professionalism but still a very friendly and open approach they took care of the whole family during this time in more ways than one; Relocating is not only the actual physical move with papers to be signed and people and furniture to be transported from point A to point B but a much more important part is the mental aspect. A relocation often means that you are going into the unknown, new house, new culture, new language, with all the fears it can produce. From the beginning I felt that they were aware of this as well and they comforted us and took away much of our anxiety at the same time she made sure all practical things got sorted.

Citrus Relocation knows what it takes to get the job done and what needs to be done. They are in control but at the same time they let you know what is happening at all times which was very comforting.

By keeping me and the family informed we did not need to worry about outstanding issues but could concentrate on what we needed to do in Sweden prior to the move. I strongly believe that without Citrus Relocation I would not have gone through with the move and I am very glad I did.

I enthusiastically recommend Citrus relocation agency to anyone in need of relocation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sue and her team at Citrus relocation really added that personal touch in helping me with my relocation from Germany to London – a personal touch so often lacking from large organisations. I really felt my move was important to them, and gave me the confidence that they could help me with my relocation.

We moved to Newbury Berkshire, UK from Singapore, with our newborn child. Citrus started communicating with me, asking for our specific relocation needs a few weeks before our date of travel. They were truly informative, professional as well as cordial in all their communications.

They planned the schedule for all the services – starting from rental property search to the orientation tour well ahead. They were meticulous in completing the tasks promised, which included, short listing the properties, arranging the viewings, rent negotiation, tenancy agreement checking, checking the property before moving in so on and so forth.

Citrus even walked the extra mile to convince the landlord accommodating some last-minute changes in the tenancy contract. They were also very accommodating to organize the orientation tour as per my settling in requirements.

I’d definitely recommend Citrus to anyone trying to find a friend and guide in the course of their relocation journey in the U.K.

I am happy to write this short testimonial to recommend Citrus Relocation to anyone moving to the UK, especially to the Milton Keynes area. My relocation from Switzerland to England in March 2018 has been a stressful one, starting with the worst snowstorm recorded in years, which meant that bank appointment and viewings had to be cancelled. Citrus Relocation were able to re-scheduled all the appointments very quickly and only a couple of days were lost.

Opening a bank account went very smoothly, all documents had been prepared under Sue’s guidance. The apartment hunt was not a straightforward one, but Citrus patiently dealt with the estate agents, explaining my circumstances and going out of their way to help. It all ended well, as one month after arriving in the UK, I was able to move in a flat that was matching my requests. Well done Sue, Noreen and Brian, and thank you so much for your help!

Sue and her team at Citrus relocation really added that personal touch in helping me with my relocation from Germany to London – a personal touch so often lacking from large organisations. I really felt my move was important to them, and gave me the confidence that they could help me with my relocation.

Their agents really know the local market and offered exceptional on-demand advice to fit around me and my schedule.  I would have no hesitation recommending the services of Citrus to anyone who is relocating to London.

I was relocated from Mexico to UK by my company, I didn’t know anyone in UK, no friends, no family, so everything was new for me, and if someone tell you that is going to be an easy move, is not being honest with you, because is not, but, Citrus company is there to make the things less complicate for you, Sue and Noreen are very kind and they are always aware of all your process, They will take the time to know your needs, and will do their best to find you the best options that fit your needs, they will give you a guide to even the simplest things that you did not think were necessary, but believe me they are, because things in the UK can be very different than your country.

You can rest assured that Citrus will provide you with the information you need with a friendly and helpful service, and they will make this relocation a little less stressful than it would be without their support.

I’m happy that my company chose them, I can definitely recommend their services.

“All inclusive service from same partner  – Moving to UK from abroad is never too easy. It’s not enough that you find a place to stay but the whole process is really time taking and complex, so especially when you are in the middle of change in your work (and personal life as well with your family) you certainly need partners like Citrus to make your relocation happen smoothly and secured. My experience from Citrus is highly positive, I got all-inclusive service and only thing that I needed to do was say “yes” to the place where we wanted to move in. They did all the background work and frontline help and made our family life easier. I can highly recommend them to as a partner in such situations”  Relocating for three months to the UK with his wife and children

When I was advised by my work that I was getting a transfer to our London Base for a few years, I came across Citrus Relocation Services. I called from Australia and spoke to Sue.

Sue was amazing and very understanding of our situation and with her experience was able to explain to us the services her company offered and went through what we needed to know about moving to London, location, transport, schools (for our child), how the rental market worked and what to expect.  Sue was very thorough.

From our many communications via phone and email, we were able to search for locations and properties from the web in Melbourne and give Sue and her team an idea of what we were looking for, as a home.

Citrus did the rest and I arranged to fly over and was shown around 10 properties in the vicinity that we chose. We were able to put an offer on 1 property and Citrus assisted us in the negotiation process to help us secure the house.

There is no way I would of been able to do all that on my own from Australia. Citrus took the pressure of me and with their experience and commitment, were able to help my family relocate to London, knowing that we had a home to come to.

Many thanks Sue and to your team. I highly recommend using Citrus for your relocation needs.

Thank you to the team at Citrus for making our move a lot less stressful.  Brian was extremely helpful and always had a calming effect on the tension one experiences when moving, let alone moving country!  We can really recommend them to anyone contemplating a move far where you need someone who has a great knowledge of the area and how things are done.

Thank you Sue, Noreen and the whole team.

I had a great experience with Citrus Relocation. Starting with the professionalism of Sue Myrie, who was very thorough and always accessible even with the time difference. I had a very tight turnaround time, and Citrus not only made all paperwork easy but worked on my behalf remotely within the time frame, protecting my interests with various agents and third parties. A shout out also to Alison Tucker who was incredibly helpful during our visits. Very professional group, dependable and efficient, as well as nice and friendly- made the whole experience as easy as it could be.

Our client testimonials

USA to London

It was very daunting trying to go about moving to London from the States. As well as finding a place to live, we have a teenage daughter who needed to find an open place in a good state school. As the systems for renting are different between the 2 countries and London’s school system is managed by different boroughs each with their own rules, I realized that help was needed.

I chose Citrus Relocation firm to help us and I’m so glad I did.  Their fees are well in line with the other relocation agencies I explored and they had an extra willingness to answer my many questions patiently.

Citrus coordinated the school and home search and communicated well with me throughout the process. They gave me important advice about the best timing for coming over for a 1 week visit about 6 weeks before our desired move day.

I had a school specialist helping me on that front and a fabulous property consultant who took me around in her car to view well over 10 homes. By the end of the week I had a school for my daughter picked out and a tenancy offer on a home plus backups ready to go. It was such a relief to have those giant pieces of the moving puzzle figured out at last.

Sue and her team continued advising me on details of the offer letter and each communication with the letting agency and owners. Even after we had paid the remainder of our bill Citrus continued to look after us and give us helpful advice (via email or phone) in a conscientious manner. I highly recommend Citrus to help you take a lot of the stress out of your move!

New Zealand to London

Thanks Sue for all of your assistance in helping us to undertake this rather major move for our family! We are happy to be settled in our new house and looking forward to continuing our London adventure. Thanks a lot,

Holly

 

Sue had done an amazing job for my family. We moved from Bristol and needed to find something near to North London. This area was completely new for us.

The process Sue has proposed, has been really professional, she took time to listen our queries and wishes, and always gave concrete and helpful advises.  She shared her experience of house hunting with us, and has always been open and honest with us which we really appreciated.

She has been able to book 10 houses for us to visit in one day and Brian who was with us during the day helped and supported a lot.

We finally found the perfect house thanks to Sue, especially when we had to deal with the agency. It is so great to have someone so professional but also fun! Her experience and knowledge of the market were precious, and I would recommend her Company to anyone who is looking to relocate in London.

Citrus Relocation came to my assistance during a critical and very difficult time for me following an accident. Timing was everything and I needed to relocate to a new apartment/home within a very short period of time. They managed to find me the perfect property, in a lovely location, that I am extremely happy with.

The Team at Citrus were helpful, efficient and attentive and helped me with all areas, including removals, finding a property, transfer of utilities and communication with the agent etc.

I am now settling well into my new home and am grateful that Citrus supported me through the whole stressful process. I would highly recommend Citrus Relocation for anyone relocating to or around the UK.

We used Citrus to help us find a new apartment and for settling in services.  With Brian’s help, we secured a great apartment in Islington.  We had just had a baby so we needed a lot of help keeping everything straight.  Sue and team were very good about reminding us about the details and answering our many questions.  Thanks for all of your help with our move. We’re settled into our place and very happy in leafy green Islington!

Dear Cilla,

I think over a night, the following words are from my heart. It may be short and simple, but it is what I want to say  and I want peoples to know.  To settle in a place that totally different with your own country is very difficult not because we live in different ends of the world but because the language, the culture, the rules, the way people thinking are very different.  However, I am very lucky that I have Citrus Relocation with me in settling in Canterbury.

In order to rent a house, Sue and I talked a lot about my requirements. She also gave me samples to choose, which could explicitly express my preference. It is proved later to be very helpful in make house searching and make house visiting more effectively. The process of making tenancy agreement is the most difficult part to me because I have no idea about the rules and convention on it. The Citrus Relocation on behalf of me negotiated with landlord and agent which release me from pressure, they also help me in renting furniture so that I could move in at the top speed.

Besides the above, they also help me lots in opening bank account, setup broadband, registering GP and give me advices how to make my live in Canterbury easier. When I looked back the whole settling process, I just want to say that they sincerely behalf me, they really know me, they truly devote to me.

Appreciated Sue and her team member Noreen and Cilla very much.

Sorry for my poor English,

My husband and I recently used Citrus Relocation Service for our move from San Diego to London. Sue and her team at Citrus were able to help us navigate the complexities of an international move without any issues. Not only were we

moving our household to London, we had to make arrangements for our 2 very large dogs to accompany us and find a rental property that would accommodate them.

Brian was incredibly helpful with our on the ground house hunting search and we were able to secure a lovely home in an area of the city that we really enjoy!

Many thanks to Sue and her team for all their assistance with our move!

Great service, quick and easy communication, always friendly to us useless expats 🙂 would highly recommend!

Marcel Hegnauer and Jenny Hepworth – Customer Liaison Manager

Relocating is very challenging not only because of the physical change in life but also simply because you do not know what you do not know when it comes to rules, procedures etc. in your new country. When I relocated with my family from Sweden to London Citrus was with us all the way. From making sure all documents were in place, making appointments with banks and other authorities to helping in the property hunt all the way to negotiating with landlords. I highly recommend Citrus for their professional and at the same time very familiar support. Best regards.

Ola Tönnberg, Regional & Sales Director

Great service provided by Sue and her team! They helped on my move, bank account opening, flat research, insurance… I strongly recommend them if you’re moving to London and need full support from a team that really cares.

Sue, Jean and Yvonne were a pleasure to deal with, and took the stress out of finding my first flat in London. I opted for a one day property search to help with my move from Australia, and I am thrilled with the service provided by Citrus. The team and their connections in the property market were very knowledgeable, friendly and responsive. I felt like they understood my requirements perfectly and lined me up with a great consultant (Edie), who was awesome during our viewings. In the current market, I was expecting to have my first few offers rejected but I was accepted for my first choice within a couple of hours – which undoubtedly was due to Citrus’ great reputation. Thank you!
