Corporate & Personal services

Moving from the United States to the UK involves navigating a visa application, opening a UK bank account, finding suitable housing and understanding the differences in healthcare, tax and driving rules.

We've supported hundreds of American families and professionals relocating to the UK, from corporate transferees to retirees, and we know exactly where the friction points are — particularly around credit history, which doesn't transfer between countries.

Our team works alongside your employer's relocation package where applicable, or builds a bespoke plan if you're moving independently.

What's included

  • Visa and documentation guidance
  • Property search — lettings or purchase
  • UK bank account introductions
  • Expat car leasing with US credit history
  • School search support for families

FAQs

Common questions

How long does a USA to UK relocation take to arrange?

Most straightforward moves can be planned within 4–8 weeks, though visa processing times vary and should be started as early as possible.

Can I get a UK bank account before I arrive?

Some UK banks now offer accounts to pre-arrivals with proof of a UK address or employment offer — we can introduce you to banks that work well for US citizens. See our banking guide.

What about my US driving licence?

US licence holders can drive in the UK for up to 12 months on their existing licence before needing to take a UK test — read our UK driving guide for full details.

Do you help with schools?

Yes, we can help you understand the UK state and private school system and introduce you to admissions specialists in your chosen area.
