Citrus Relocation can provide advice on locations and apartments through our wide network of serviced accommodation providers. We will work with your budget to source a property that works for you, your budget and your requirements. We normally take a day to produce three high quality properties for our relocation clients.
You will need to pay for the agreed property, normally up front so you can have the keys. A few operators may bill you after you have moved into the property. We will normally obtain up to three quotes for you or an employee.
The quotes would normally include links to photographs and a description of the property. It is not normal to view properties beforehand as they may be occupied with the resident moving out before your due date. It is fast moving and once you receive a quote The property may be put on hold for 24hrs. You may have no more than 24hrs before the property is released again to the general market.
Citrus receives availability of many properties over the UK every week, we still have to check for our relocation clients the availability of properties and if possible, negotiate a reduction in rates as standard.
Once you complete the application form and pay the rental fee, for your available property, you are free to move into the property on the agreed date. It is normal the property is professionally cleaned, and repairs undertaken if required before you move into the property. A welcome pack is normally provided with local amenities, emergency numbers, maps and guides and a service provider to meet and greet you in person. There may also be milk, tea, coffee cereals, fruit, bread, butter and jams in the fridge available as part of the welcome pack.
