Moving Assignees to the UK avoiding the pitfalls
The UK rental market can be a surprisingly hostile arena.
In reality, although it may appear otherwise to the innocent and unwary, it’s an adversarial system that can bite Assignees and make for a miserable relocation.

Assignees should be asked not to sign any paperwork with the Landlord or Letting Agent until it’s been reviewed by a qualified UK relocation specialist.

Often a Candidate, or Assignee, will comment upon how special they’ve been made to feel at being provided with such pre-decision assistance.
The Landlord has someone on their side; so too should the Tenant! It’s also helpful, both to the Assignee and to HR staff, to have a property management resource on tap throughout the term in this constantly evolving area of Landlord and Tenant law.
