Frequently asked questions regarding relocation
Why do companies relocate staff members?
Usually staff members are relocated from one branch office to another due to their expertise or skill that is required at the new post. Therefore, they may move to a specific period of time to impart this knowledge to other staff or they may move full time to take up a permenant role. Alternatively companies may recruit new staff members with specific skills but who must relocate to join the company.
Why do corporate clients engage professional relocation agents?
Simply because relocation agents are the experts. OxfordRelocation has in depth knowledge about Oxford and the surrounding area including contacts within bodies such as Immigration and transport specialists. OxfordRelocation provides a comprehensive and professional service for corporate clients preventing them from incurring additional or unfair costs or making common mistakes associated with relocating.

Yes. With inside information on the property market within Oxford and by having a pre-existing relationship with estate agents, letting agents and serviced accommodation providers we are able to secure the best prices possible whilst providing a smooth and effective service.

If I am purchasing a property, will you save me money on the asking price?
One of our primary goals is to ensure that you pay the best price possible for the house that you buy in Oxford. Private negotiations are often met with refusals at the first hurdle but as we already have relationships with many of Oxford's leading estate agents we are able to negotiate on your behalf. Although it is sometimes not possible to acheive a better price than the advertised rate we will certainly ensure that our best efforts are used to try and negotiate a better rate.
Once I have paid your finders fee do you limit the time given to each search?
Yes. Before you have paid your finders fee you will have an orientation call with your relocation consultant who will establish exactly what you are looking for before we start looking. Your relocation consultant will advise you if they believe your requirements are realistic and we will only move forward if we believe we can find a property for you in the time allowed. In the rare event that we are unable to locate a suitable property we will discuss the next steps with you.
Do I lose my finders fee if I decide not to move?
Once the finders fee is secured we start work right away, if you decide that you do not wish to proceed the fee is non-refundable to cover any costs already incurred.
If I am renting a property will you assist in tenancy negotiation?
Yes. As part of Oxford Property Solutions Limited we have extensive knowledge of UK lettings legislation and tenancy agreement preparation. Before you sign anything we will ensure that the agreement is fair.
