Moving back to the UK after years abroad can feel surprisingly disorientating — the housing market has likely moved on, your UK credit history may have gone quiet, and healthcare, banking and even driving rules can have changed since you left.

We specialise in helping returning Brits get re-established quickly: finding housing that fits your budget, re-registering with the NHS, rebuilding your UK financial footprint, and even leasing a car if your credit history has lapsed while you were overseas.

Whether you're coming back from the Gulf, North America, Australasia or anywhere else, we've helped returning expats navigate exactly this transition.

FAQs

Common questions

Will my UK credit history still be valid after years abroad?

It can lapse or 'go quiet' if you've had no UK financial activity, which can make everyday things like mobile contracts or car finance harder — our expat car leasing partners are used to this exact situation.

Do I need to re-register with a GP?

Yes, you'll need to register with a GP practice in your new area as soon as you have a fixed address.

How has the UK changed that I should know about?

Housing costs, public transport ticketing and driving rules are common areas returning expats find have moved on — our guides are written with exactly this in mind.

Can you help my children settle into UK schools?

Yes, particularly for families moving mid-school-year where places in popular schools can be limited.
